Friends of six months.

October 16, 2009 by dingz

As some friends might know, I had to undergo a surgery because of an freak accident that happened in May last year.

Freak accident, because Dingz was sprinting and didn’t turn around a corner properly, dislodging a bone. Contrary to popular belief, I was not looking at any girls around the running track.

To set the bone back in place, this was inserted into my foot, during March 2009.

Not just one though.

I took them out in August 2009, sadly, it wasn’t a complete recovery.

There’s been no updates coming from human portraitures because

1) I’ve been busy with other work assignments.

2) I’m completely dry on ideas.

Someone help?

A simple studio exercise.

August 1, 2009 by dingz

These photos were taken during a studio exercise to familarise newer members with a studio and a refresher course for myself :P

Special thanks to Audrey for helping out! Visit her blog shop here –>  http://www.kadanata.blogspot.com/

Just not to waste photos..

July 15, 2009 by dingz

Did a slight retouch up… Thanks to everyone involved in this shoot, it managed to push me up to the next level. Time to move on to other projects.

Model : Paulette

http://www.modelmayhem.com/1196697

Make Up Artist : Suhaila

Hairstylist : Ivan & Hartono

Photographers : Me, Kyle

Logisitics support : Wei Jian.

Special thanks for mentorship & guidance : Tuck Loong.

This took quite a while, I had a good pool of photos to work with and to try and piece together. It was a great shoot, I really have to thank Su and Paulette for extending their stay. Paulette was great as well, her input and enthusiasm helped a lot. There were alot of great photos, so it’s really a pity I’m only showing these few. I really hope she succeeds as a model!

Not forgetting the people whom I approached to do something similar but on a smaller scale.. Shiyun, Audrey, Xiaojun.. Thanks! And as well as Yiqi whom I had been badgering for opinions.

Time for self reflection.

It’s been a great June, I got to try out stuffs I’ve been wanting to try, did a strong showing at a local competition. But somehow, during the process of finishing the post production for this shoot, I realised the need to go from strength to strength at an even faster rate. Probably the only person I can blame for laziness is myself. If I squeezed all my time to its efficient best… I can be doing a lot more. Hopefully from today onwards, I’m going to show more disciple, be more like a sponge and polish my skills in the various efforts. There’s always so much to learn but so little time.. the lesser wasted, the better…

Snap the Dancers Competition.

June 28, 2009 by dingz

Above photograph was Honourable Mention.

Photograph above landed me third prize in Snap the Dancers 2009. These works, along with the other impressive entries, are on display at the Arts House.

Special thanks to DK who ensured I didn’t give up after what I thought was an abysmal attempt and Miss Michelle Ang who notified me of the event, if not I’ll never have taken part. Also, to the judges who felt that my works were worthy.

I look forward to posting up the Paulette set as early as before the next weekend. Creative post production work was compromised by circumstances such as Kyle who has decided to go into a three day mourning for Micheal Jackson.

There will probably be no updates until I’m done with the creative post production work for Paulette.

Creatively Thai Fashion Show.

June 13, 2009 by dingz

I was at the Creatively Thai Fashion Showcase @ Vivo with no intention of shooting any photos at all, but I had a sudden inspiration and decided to get this angle and use the photographers as backdrop. I’ll bet those who got me in the background will be cursing.

I think it’ll be great if I get to execute a shoot with a similar concept in a controlled situation… but it’s definitely gonna be a high budget shoot :(

Tuck did some of the DI, so special thanks for that. Jery was very hardworking as well, could see that she was trying to give her best for every pose and expression, so thanks for that.
