11/03/2011Luanne & Kevin (Niki & Titan)

Full of power, speed and fully prepared for what’s coming around the bend, Niki and Titan burns rubber as they roll roaring down the tarmac. Luanne and Kevin, the owners of these motorbikes (Niki and Titan) are RC-Racing enthusiasts as well. They are one of the last couples that met us at our former gallery at Bali Lane before we moved to Northstar.

Once again, we got to work with gorgeous gowns from The Wedding Present and styled by the talented Sophia Chia. Luanne was trained in Fine Arts and she gave me all the freedom to create out of the ordinary. We planned the shoot location at two of Singapore’s soon-to-be decommissioned buildings, the Tanjong Pagar Train Station and the Queenstown Hawker Centre. I was really excited about photographing at these two places for some reasons. I have never visited the train station before, the train station’s old architecture is one of the few left in Singapore and I think it would work very well shooting with toy cameras and expired films. Queenstown Hawker Centre is a place which brings back a lot of memories to me as well. I used to visit a stall on the second level, selling one of the best pan-fried dumplings in Singapore. It taste so good that, my good friend and I would each order 20-30 piece at one go. We went there so often enough that they would take our orders on the phone, 30mins before we arrive.

Kevin and Luanne proposed to do the night segment of their shoot in a motorbike garage with Niki and Titan and perhaps I will leave it to the photographs to rev(rave) romance in their own language.

We were lucky that a train check-in

One of my favourite pieces

Shot with expired slides and cross-processed.

Totally dig the colors of cross-processed expired slides. You really have no idea what you gonna get.

The now defunct hawker centre.

I absolutely love the light and the rustic setting.

27/02/2011Rubi & Rick

About two years ago I shot Rubi and Rick’s solemnisation and was thrilled when they approached me again to shoot their bridal portraits and wedding day. Sad to say I was already booked by another lovely couple. I got to know Rubi, or should I say Rubi got to know my work when I sent my cameras for servicing at Nikon. She left a really great impression with her welcoming smile and fantastic service despite that back then, I wasn’t as established.

During the pre-shoot discussion, Rick mentioned about shooting with electric guitars and having the shoot with a slight rocker twist. What made things better, was one of the gowns that Rubi gotten from The Wedding Present was a stunning black with shiny sequins. The styling that Bobbie from The Make Up Room perfectly match the theme of the shoot too.

What more can I ask for when the weather and sunset was almost near perfection?
