Started shooting at this building.

Then we move on to a tram stand where we thought including the tram might show a lil bit of Hong Kong elements.A beautiful capture & timing by Faiz!

Then while we were walking i stopped the couple to have a few shots at this very nice downlight with Hong Kong street as the background. I was really lucky to capture & include the tram too!

From Faiz’s angle, what a nice lighting & reflection to add some spice to the scene!

We were actually thinking to include the building as the main feature but then it didn’t turn out good so i thought maybe i could include the Hong Kong taxi pass by and hopefully it might make a good capture.

Peggy’s mom brought us to this very nice looking stairs. Looks like a cobble stone stairs, the area surrounded by bars & pubs made a good night scene.

Just a few steps down the stairs, we found a street full of neon lights.nice bling bling background!

and another shot of them on that street.

And the last spot was very special! It is a covered outdoor escalator stretching all the way uphill. You’ll be amazed how long this escalator is, we were told that the middle group citizen lives on the hill and they will need to take the stairs to go down town Hong Kong for work. Imagine how tiring it is going back up the hill everyday??? So the government built this escalator to make life easier.cool!!!

and lastly my favourite shot of all!

well there’s a lot more Hong Kong contents, photos & videos! so stay tune to our blog!

Here we are with the new chapter of Perth.In this chapter we shot Loi & Nicole at one of the most photographed location in Perth that is the University of Western Australia aka UWA. We were there around noon so Suhaimi will give some tips & tricks on working under harsh lighting condition,turning bad lighting into usable lighting.
Enjoy the tutorial!

note : all images were directly converted from CR2 to JPG.They were not edited for video viewing purpose.

So we just got back from Perth and couldn’t wait any longer to share the photos with you guys. We actually wanted to produce one long ITCO but then there were so many footage and it would be a very big HD file.So we have decided to break it down into several chapters. We shot at 6 locations inside & outside Perth : Swan Brewery, UWA, The Bridge, Fremantle Maritime Museum, King’s Park & Sandalford Winery. So far i’m looking at 1 location one chapter but to make it more compact maybe i’ll squeeze in 2 locations in one chapter. We also had 2 couples! WOW! That’s not even including Loi & Nicole’s “Our Story”.
So hold on tight guys this is going to be a long chapter of Perth!

As for now enjoy the 1st chapter.

Glad to have shot you guys! oh…anyway…they’re wearing our favourite color….WHITE!

We were looking for colors and found one of those closed stalls with nice blue color!

At one of the building has a nice greasy interior with an orange color wall.

We found out it was some kind of a motel for backpackers that would like to stay in the middle of Petaling Street. And saw this!

Then we went for the streets.

Love the architecture around here!

eh…how’d this got here!

Then we went back to the shop area and found this very nice sunlight went thru a small crack on the roof.

The light source is so small it only lits up their face.

There are some pretty nice signage too…This chinese writing somehow makes Azila look more chinese with her already chinese look haha!

Iwan gotta have some good shot too!

Then we found this small open-no-wall barber shop operated by this uncle.He said he was featured in newspaper a few times before.

Thx uncle for letting us shoot at ur place!

As i’ve said before…our photos shot during daylight comes out totally different than the one we shot at night. Eventhough it is the same location.
Start shooting portraiture at night guys!
As much as we enjoy discovering Petaling Street BUT we need a break shooting there…we’ll do it again in 2010 haha!

Photos was edited by Asyiek.

The Ring!

We found this beautiful mirror inside the banquet area.

After they packed up the banquet,i thought we should have some fun shots.

It was 12 o’clock and VIlla May went dark!so found this staircase with nice flower railing which would create really nice textures.

Muaz & Fiona, your wedding was really beautiful!

Photos spiced up with Totally Rad Action.

We parked near Kotaraya and started shooting at a nearby bus stand with a helpful fluorescent light.

And we move them outside of the bus stand capturing Petaling Street’s entrance as a background.

Caught this when they were window shopping at Petaling Street.

At night there’s just so many light source you can find along the street.including this!

This alley has nice repetition of horizontal & vertical lines as you can see on the right & i asked Adib to look fierce!

Then i saw one entrance to an underground parking lot with a nice blue hue and also a great down-light. Love this moment of them!

Then we place Niza alone for a fun scary poker face which works really well with the down-light! She’s not that scary though…

Yup it’s the usual Petaling Street stuff!

This is one of the favourite shots of the night.We spent quite sometime here just to get that perfect lighting and reflection.Adib & Niza’s pose contribute emotion to the whole piece.

And we took another shot on landscape.Just love how Adib’s hands look like.

Then we walked out of Petaling Street and went to this overhead pedestrian crossing. There were lots of down-light and spotlight to be utilized.

Then Adib doing his manly pose!haha!

Niza doing guccisalvatoreferagamo face!

Adib & Niza doing guccisalvatoreferagamo pose!

While at it…The must have ring shot.

We move on to the bridge and found this place nicely lit by the advertisement board’s spotlight.

We pose them together and let them get into the moment. I shot this with 135mm.

And Suhaimi shot this with 50mm. Their face expression just wow us…

On our way back to our car, Suhaimi got an idea of posing in the middle of the pavement. Niza’s clothe draws an interesting shape. Wouldn’t hurt just to experiment a shot.

Lastly before we finished our session,we ended with a fun shot!

We had great time shooting them. Maybe we’ll take a holiday off from Petaling street for sometime.
Anyway hold on tight for an entry of Iwan & Azila’s morning session at Petaling Street.

In wait for the latest wedding & portraiture we’ve shot, I’ve dug up some old ones to be shared. I wonder why i didn’t share this before but i did upload it to My Flickr.

So Nurul is from Kuala Kangsar and let me tell you how beautiful that small town is in the morning.I could have shot all day doing their portraiture session. There were just so many textures, colors & very interesting subjects to shoot with. I had a blast shooting this couple.we started shooting at 8 in the morning so the shops were still close.In an advantage to us, we used the alley way and the shop’s door shutters, walls, cars, windows and a dozen more to mention. Colorful town, i wish i could have another photo shoot in the future. Lovely town it is! Enjoy these!

We started at the shop lot area.

Another shot from the same place.See how the bicycle adds up to the drama.

I just can’t runaway when there was a nice big tree suitable for a background!

Back to the shop lot. Took to this shot while they were walking where i ask them to pose.

See how the background color comes out contrasting with the color on them.

The background color so nice,can’t resist for another shot.

And another!

On the way to another location we found this.

We found this abandon shop by the side of a big drainage.The Myvi at the back somehow spoils it.oh well…

On the front facade of the abandon shop i found these interesting textures.

Just infront of the abandon shop,saw this interesting red door with metal pipe going up.

Yes…this is also in the same area as you can see the red door on the right side!

Then we went to the Masjid Kuala Kangsar.Very nice Mosque!

We found this old abandon house just nearby the mosque.

The abandon house has this nice dirty interior.

Check out the flooring.That must have looked amazing when there were people living in here.

We went down to the river by the side of the Istana. Posed with Milo River but the color comes out awesome!

Just wish we could go there & have another Shoot-out. Kuala Kangsar people please call us!
