waiting for you

The location for this shoot was really dark, good thing the house had a huge window. I'm loving natural light and still drooling over the fine lingerie! :)

hot head

I'm not a fan of bulky and heavy lighting equipment, so for this fashion shoot I opted to use my newly purchased (very light and handy) ring flash. I love how the flash highlighted the model's caramel-colored skin!

wade

I wanted to play around and shoot underwater for this fashion spread, but wasn't able to borrow an underwater camera on such short notice. Next time, I definitely plan to rent one in advance. :)

in the hood, trawlin' for cool

One of my favorite photographers is Terry Richardson. I love his raw and ballsy pictures!

So for this fashion shoot, I opted to experiment and use my trusty external flash (instead of the usual studio lights and softbox) to get the brash feel of Richardson's photographs. I'm happy with the results --- the bright flash and the in-your-face attitude of models Brent Chua and Berto You Lee really meshed well and gave an edgier feel to the entire picture.

By the way, I totally fell in love with those two models... They were so easy to work with! :)
