This is the dinner slideshow presentation of two of my friend’s wedding, groom and bride, Valen and Letticia – the two lovebirds of almost a decade. haha. Well, about time he signed his “VISA” papers! … and Valen fills my INBOX with the latest emails of “interests”… those which can keep me awake on zzz Monday mornings.

When he told me his wedding is the same church I’m at, I jumped to the opportunity to shoot coz I haven’t shot a Catholic church wedding for quite some time now. The change of pace is quite a refreshing welcome.

This video slideshow is a showcase of BOTH me and my shooting buddy of that Saturday morning, Hayashi (www.hayashiartz.com). Enjoy this little funky piece, while I work on the dinner slideshow.

假裝 (Pretense) feat. Felina

November 25, 2008

This series was shot nearly half a year ago d. Suddenly found time to finally finish this very very short situational photoshoot and also earmarks the first I’ve done this year. OMG. I’ve been lazy. Nway, this shoot was inspired by one of my fav chinese number by Jolin Tsai, called 假裝 . From what I’ve gathered from the net, it’s translated to Pretense. I came out with this super short play to act out – it doesn’t honour the lyrics of the song nor does it starts or ends the story. It is a simple pictorial narrative of a pivotal moment of life on the crossroads. Stay or leave.

Felina is a wonderful actress. She goes into character very effectively with the little time I had explaining the situation of her character. Charming and a warm friendly person, she gets my vote for acting anytime! Multi talent, i tell ya.

If you guys have time to traverse the net, you can YouTube Jolin’s original MV of the song. It’s superbly shot and paced. I like these simple no frills cinematography. Luckily I already carved my piece before I watched the MV, or else I’ll be ultimately influenced by the MV. haha. nway, take a short ride…

Try clicking on the song below first to get into da mood. hehe.

Kok Yew & Joycce

November 24, 2008

This is one adventure of a wedding! The morning went to a small town somewhere in the outskirts of Nibong Tebal. On the way, passed thru small quaint fishing villages and militarian rows of palm oil plantation. What I see is a gem of a place for pre-weddings and model shooting but it was a little too far away logistically. If we had a little time, Joycce was suggesting a short ride on the little boats. Just unlucky time was a factor. You see, chinese weddings observes the clock for a particular task to be done, an auspicous time frame and so on.

Kok Yew and Joycce were a “joy” to shoot as they were re-”joycce”-ing their wedding on the auspicous day of bright sunshine and rolling clouds. I hope I have conveyed the day’s happenings in this short clip made specially before their honeymoon adventure. Hope you guys enjoy it as the couple had as well.
