Project - Music School Advert

I was glad that I am given an opportunity to shoot an advertisement for a music school - Edvox Music School.

As I do not have a make up artist with me, my then gf, now wife, will be helping me on the make up. For this photo shoot, we had the equipment set up in the music classroom.

Like I mentioned before, I am using 2 x 300w Jinbei strobe with battery operated - firing with S3Pro.
The background is actually a Muslin cloth which I got it real cheap from someone else.

I am happy I learn some workflow from the studio back then. Having the camera tethering to Mac using Capture One Pro. Hence the jumping of ship - from Fujifilm to Canon system.

All talents in the photo shoot are the students in the school, and we have great fun together.

As they have 0 experience on photo shoot, I need to guide them proper on what I am expecting. Patience is the key word to everything.






















I am very happy seeing my work printed out on brochures, magazine, name cards and their calender. That's when I know what I want to do in future.

Hope you like the photo shoot I did years ago.

How do I get started in photography

As for a start, I have something to share on how I get into photography.

I remembered when I was spinning as a DJ for non profit group - TranceRepublic, I need to cover the event as well. Hence, gotten myself Lumix LC33!

After figuring out what I want from the camera (especially coverage of event), I decided to get my first Prosumer camera: Lumix FZ20. The camera was great, in terms of sharpness, there's no beat to it. But the noise is a headache tho. 

When I decided to sell away my entire DJ set,  I had made up my mind by leaving the group of DJs because I would like to pursue photography. 

And my ever first DSLR: Nikon D70.

While I was using this beast, I found that there's limitation, and I really love the high dynamic range. Therefore, I jumped - Fuji S3Pro. It is not as sharp as I thought, but the color, win me over!

And this is the ever first camera I used for my first assignment - Product shoot (Flower)

The flower product shoot was spread into 2 days. And I have to work on the arrangement and do my own props! Back then, I am totally inexperience, so I have to use my eyes and mind to judge it. I was pretty happy with the outcome.

Though the money was pretty low, I felt the satisfactions-feeling in my heart. 

For this project, I even bought myself 2 x battery operated Jinbei flashlight. The cost is pretty high and I can assure you that, the product is quite border line. Nothing fanciful at all.

But the product from JinBei (now) had seem to improved a lot! 

Anyway, here's some of the images I would like to share, flower photo shoot for a defunct store.

Hope you enjoy.
