Another model facing the lens of almost 20 photographer was Kate Viray a pure blooded filipina who is based in Kuala Lumpur. This shots were taken during the KL Pinoy Photography Buff's conceptual photo shoot somewhere in Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur. As always, shooting with my 50mm 1.8 on stack and maximizing natural lighting in the absence of a flash gun.
Model: Heidi
Stylist: Anthony Mendoza
MUA: Heidi
Location: Ampang, Kuala Lumpur
I had to wake up early to catch up for this shoot and I’m glad I did. A photo shoot with fellow Filipino Photographers in Kuala Lumpur aka All Filipino Photography Group – Malaysia. Here’s a head shot of Heidi, a Chinese Malaysian Model stylized by our fellow photographer sir Anthony Mendoza. Shooting with 50mm-1.8 on stack maximizing the available natural light.
I’m glad to be reunited with nikie. I miss shooting, so while baby sitting my eight months adorable boy, I took shots while he is roaming around the living area with his walker and was hoping to capture something to update this blog. And just before he through tantrum, I was able to capture this. Here's to me a come back shot from three months off shooting.
Have you ever been into big event such us concerts or political events where by chance you’ve got you’re best dslr buddy onboard? Isn’t it nice and great to take photos during the event? It’s a great opportunity for every amateur and photography enthusiast especially to those who are aspiring on taking event photography seriously.
If you are not an official photographer in the event, you have to understand that crowd control is very common especially in big events. This is to maintain the peace and order during the event. So expect that you will not have a full access to the media corner so you have limited chances of getting the best picture. Media corner is usually separated from the general audience by a stanchion or a velvet rope or sometimes a barricades. In this case, it is best to have a telephoto lens with at least an aperture of 3 or for sharper picture go for 2.8 or 1.4 aperture. Telephoto lens will fill in the distance limit that you have during the event. However, it is best to understand first the capability of your telephoto lens before the actual shoot. Familiarise with all the function as well as your body so that you won’t mess up during the event and you don’t have to regret about it.
Months after attending Manny Librodo’s talk in Kuala Lumpur, finally I was able to generate something from what I have learned in that short inspirational talk.
This was an unplanned shoot. I was at my inlaws house when I saw that veil and thought of my husband niece andrene, will justify what I have in mind. And so, inspired by manny lib and the veil, from the balcony where there’s an adequate natural light, I took this shot. The shoot did not only satisfy me but have opened to a new discovery. I was really surprised when this little girl who is only five years old can clearly follow my instruction and knows how to project in front of camera. Making myself eager to shoot more of her. Hopefully.
We’ve been counting baby Z’s milestone for five months now. On his fourth month he learned to stand on his feet with support. He also learned to kick his legs and on his fifth month, he learned to take few steps. Thank God he’s got strong toes and knees. I know it’s too early, but we’ve been so eager to see him finally stand and walk in his own. There are several baby shoes waiting for his happy feet to fit in. Thank you very much to the generous sponsors; the god fathers and god mothers.
My goal is to see him walk before he turns one year old. I know most moms would love to see their special little one walk before he turn one year old. That’s why as early as fourth month, I continually encourage him to stand by holding him under his arms and let him take few steps. If you are doing the same, you need to be very careful not to strain his legs. A fifteen minutes session twice or thrice will help him develop strength in his legs. Perhaps, on the next few months we will be buying his walker to help him walk.
I am so glad with this latest development of our little one. Everyday I am looking forward of seeing new development. If you have a toddler, check out this safety walking tip video.
Today, our little one turned five months. I cook something for our little one’s small and simple celebration. He’s been doing so well for the past weeks, except for the colds and cough that he got for almost a week now. I took his fifth month portrait. Thanks to my sister and my cousins for helping me with the DIY studio set up. This is the second time that I am posting a portrait taken by a point and shot camera. My lovely nikie had a new master, actually his original master – my husband. For now, I’ll be using a point and shot camera until august of this year.
