whipped

after gg thru a first kinda fotoshoot, i realise how much i suck. my goodness, not only do u have to contend with the unpredictable elements like mozzies, the hide and seek sun, rolling around in dirt, mud, grass etc and others like the mood of the model, lenses, light, composition, etc.

yes only 2 persons is never enuf, now we kno y ther's the creative director, assistants, and photographer. and i definitely suck at the creative tot process. so much for androgynous pasty zomb look due to my lack of directive skills(nonexistant), it came out cosplay-meets-bai ling meets-"hanoi bride love you long time time". yes..research is the key to everything be it the look, props, location (that's y there are experts in each field), visual refernces, storyboard.

being unprepared n uncertain is a no no. i kno much to //ilng's chargrin partly due to the mozzies haha, she was waiting for directives, this is esp impt for ppl who are not used to modelling. be that a lesson for me. i wonder how she even got thru w/o ripping my head off. i bet a million curses were muttered under her breath.

actually the better cute shots were candid goofball ones when we decied to just give up trying to hard and just let loose. im amazed that the lass cud even pose some haute couture-ish poses since she hated them so. not bad for a siao char bor ah lian. full marks for the effort, game-ness to tahan my tak leh make it shoot.

at least we tried it out ourselves b4 putting other ppl thru it. Many lessons learnt from this tho tiring but fun nonetheless.
