L'Oreal (Photography Final Assignment)

Woah, finally I m done with this assignment, feel so refreshed after all the chaos in taking the lips, well, 7 more assignment to go! Taking this lips were nvm easy especially the lighting part, some more have to torture my model for two days. I really have to thank AH HO for borrowing me the close-up filter, if not I may not be able to get tht type of clearness in the image, and of course a big THANK to STEF QUAH again! She really has been a good help to me all this while, skipping her class for the photo shoot and whenever I asked to do this n that, she will just do tht, thank again! It took me two days to complete taking all the pictures, the first day has been bad, I wanna her to bite the strawberry but the outcome of the photo isn't that nice, changing all over the placing the strawberry didn't has a nice outcome also and the time is running out fast so might as take again the next day. 

Next days, I changed to a new concept where I applied all those type of shinning stuff on her lips! The outcome did turn out something I liked. The most suffering is the editing part, being a raw file itself, it take up so many mb for one file thus making my laptop lag, luckily still able to cope with it. Well, I don't feel like typing already, still tons of assignment to do, will let the pictures do the taking. Enjoyz!  =)


The first one! Eric Chih's favorite! =)



The Second One. My Personal Favorite! Elegance & Sexy! Hahaha! =)



The Third One! My concept is = 
'The Lipstick That Tells A Story, Bringing Along The Scents And Charm'



Lastly the final one, I will frame this one up! 16 hours of non-stop 
editing, thank god, it end now! Enjoyz! =)

BUSY WEEK!

It has been quite some time since I last post, tht is due to the heavy workloads given by the lecturer. I needed to start my works as early as possible due to the fact that I really hate last minutes work. So during this few weeks, my room is packed with of packaging stuff, paper, boxes and not to forget out, lot of PERSPEX! My room is becoming more congested day by day, hope I can get all this things clear out by week 15. 

During this few days, frenz has being asking me to show them my packaging but I haven't really finish it yet so I decided to take some photo of which I have done and show it here. =)


My room fill with perspex and all type of stuff!


Well, see the table on the left, tht table is suppose to used for 
cutting stuff, drawing & tracing and measuring but now fill over 
with my packaging stuff, luckily I have a second table to work on! =)


Lastly, tht is some of the packaging I done at least for now! =) Enjoyz!

At least for this one hour!

OMG, during this few weeks, I spend most of my time on assignment only, no time for entertainment at all, it is like living in world with assignment onli! My god, but since I have a hour free now so I decided to post up the post I should have post long ago! Adora keep asking me when so at least now I have the precious time to upload it.

It was a Computer Graphic assignment where we are suppose to do a photo montage of ourself or someone else showing what is going to happen to us in future time, I think it is something like this for the topic. =) So I was rushing this project for few days already and the outcome is really s**k, but since I know I will re-do it again no matter wat happened so I decided not deleted this file first. Then the next day, when I reach uni, Adora keep saying she wanna see mine since she show me her one liao, then she keep laughing here and there stating the pciture is VERY CUTE, I was like wth, hahahahahah, then came Eric Chih and Miin, they say cute also. Later onto the day, Tze Yee say cute also! *pengsan*

Since they say it is cute, it would be really bad if I didn't do them a picture of them in the montage thing. So, I did them a free picture, "IT IS FREE GUY"! hahahahahaha ><


Now, I really know why they say cute already! Isn't is cute? =)

Now, off to my packaging assignment! Will upload soon enuff! =)

Outdoor Fashion Shooting

That garden is really a very nice area for taking pictures but there is something that keep obstructing me from taking some pictures at some area due to there is a lots of tree there, making it impossible for the sunlight to shine onto Stef's face thus making some of the picture quite dark. Then David said there is still a park around his house there where got really nice too, so we decided to move to that area n give it another try again. I really have to thank David for this two days bringing us here n there, helping us at some point, thank man! =)

I like this one! =)



Another one.


Then by the time we reach Desa Park City, the weather is getting hotter n hotter thus making the model hard to shoot again, she is finding it hard to open the eye due to the brightness of the sun, so we have to find another area around there, then do the shooting at different area but the best part is when we get to a platform where is there is a nice background and clear big window in front window in front of here so Stef can used the window to try do some pose which suits her before I start taking pictures of it. Finally, I managed to get everything done bfr the sun got hotter then off we go and have our dim sum! It is always nice to eat with old frenz. =)

Below is the picture! Enjoyz! =)

  

She love this pose. LOL!



On the small bridge there.



Nice rith? =)



The picture tht lecturer approve, even-though there is a lot of noise on the face, but the lecturer keep insisting to used this photo for the magazine layout. =) 



And lastly, a picture of me and my model Stef Quah. End of it! =)

Night Outdoor Model Shooting

As for the nith outdoor model shooting section, first of all, I was planning for a morning shooting at some garden park but Stef Quah says trying at night would be nicer and more special. Since it is not that easy shooting at night especially when u wanna get a clear shot on the face. But since I am in Kepong alderi, y dun give it a try. During that Thursday night, David bring us to the Curve there cause I want my background to have a lot high buildings, on the way walking to the Curve from the car park, it was quite embarrassing cause we have carry all sort of stuff, from a big reflector to tripod and all Stef punya extra accessories, some more we are not professional yet, hahaha. When we reach there, it was raining, at one point, Stef has to stand under the rain with an umbrella of course for 30 seconds without moving cause the light there is not bright enuff, some more I can't shoot so close to her since it is raining. The most frustrating thing is I dun know y there is still a lot noise on her face even-though my ISO is onli 100 - 200, I jus dun get it. So during that nith, no many clear picture were managed to catch due to a lot of reasons but since it was just a try out onli, at least I still learn something. =)


This is shot between the Curve and Cineleisure Mall, so many ppl walking around making it so hard to shoot! =)



We shoot here for so long! This is the part where the noise occur but I really want to thank Stef for her patient in waiting and keep posing all over n over agian. Thank a lot ya! =)

Model Shooting!

The assignment for my next photography module, model shooting! After learning the basic of the studio lighting, we are suppose to used all that for the model shooting. Shooting in the studio is divided into two different type of categories which are the high key and the low key. The other option is that you can shoot outdoor too. So I choose one photo to be shoot in studio and the other one on the outdoor. As for the model, I find one of my old classmates Stef Quah (elephant) for the role of the model. So I start the shooting during the raya break inside Atudio 3. So as usual, she was late for the shooting! In the beginning, there was already 6-7 lights ready, so I try to test the lighting first along with shooting some photo. After taking few pictures, I go over n ask Ah Hok, is this consider high key n any other area need to be repaired. He say the left side tone's color is not that great, so he bring over another 2 lights and ask me attached it again. Woah, I was like, 9 lights, wth.............. then I tried again to shoot again, the tone do appeared more perfectly on both side. So I began with my first model shooting, shoot! shoot! shoot! ...................... By the way, I have to thank Shern Ai for helping Stef with the posing and other stuff, thank ya! And not to forget, I want to thank Stef Quah too for being my model, thank a lot ya! =)
Below is the picture of the model shoot by by me. Enjoyz. =)


This is the one I like the most! No Photoshop at all. =)



Posing! =)



And Again!
