Some final shots in the KTM Tanjong Pagar, remembered via portriature in a series. This is the first couple. I'll update more as the days go by. (when I have time to process. busy with work and all that.) Cover First few establishing shots. Obviously they look like unflattering...

I like the cripsy lines and creamy colours of #1,2,6. Such level of PP I have always strived towards and failed considerably. Bitterly envious. But what is really interesting is #7's almost prismatic light / rectangular shadow cast. I thought the prism went really well with the make-up...

I think you had your job cut out for you trying to make our sunny bright tropical forest appear more gloomy dark temperate and European. #1,3,5 are strong images. I like the stark focus of the Red in #1 (befitting an opening picture), I thought it contrasted nicely with the...

Thanks guys, I was very iffy about posting up these, seeing that such style is usually not well-received in CS forum. Your very kind words are encouraging!

Some shots taken a time ago http://www.flickr.com/photos/57658896@N05/5862005819/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/57658896@N05/5862557312/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/57658896@N05/5862558066/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/57658896@N05/5862557224/...

It has been so long since I last posted. All sets taken recently not supposed to be posted (oh well...) here's sumthin' from way back.

Half and half... - dirt is post processed. Actually i observed my mechanic and my own clothing, hands (post shoot that day) and realised that it is not all greasy black as i had originally assumed. Alot of it is brownish muck. - blue was the actual lighting with gel, harsh contrast is pp. -...

Haw! You jest surely :) Not the best person to answer, have to ask the lighting maestro JayCee. Shots were done with strobes and silver umbrellas, no softboxes. Thanks bro, but I think you did most of the work. Without the basic lighting right in the first place, no mouint of PP can...

Another great coverage. This series has a very strong social commentary feel to it. The post processing combined with the "street feel" speaks volumes on the quality of life there, without a need for solemn voice over commentary. True to "pictures speak a thousand words". Leaves me...

#1 #2 C&C welcomed...

I think all compliments in this thread neglect to comment on the superb work you have done on her skin. I love this type of smoothening that doesn't make the subject's skin appears too "waxy". A very soft overall appeal to the pictures and razor sharpness on the eyes, lips. Beautiful...

Yes, I agree, the more prep work is being done before hand, the less time we waste on the ground with the "What's Next? Whatever You Like. Up to You." comedy routine. Unfortunately too many of us go down onto the ground with some vague ideas only. Or try to craft something post shoot...

Stunning! It goes to show that when you set out with a clear and definitive theme in mind, even a compact camera without all the fancy DSLR trappings can produce such magnificent shot. Breath taking. (Although some post processing to diminish the features of the pool would be good too.)

I like the first one... however, I think the soft focus on the face and sharp focus on the head-piece seem to take attention away from her face... I find my eye drifting to the head-piece more. The second one, with the shawl kinda artificially held up by an unseen hand, is frankly a little...

Gosh I just love the story telling element in #4. How us, the viewers, seem to intrude on a moment of repose. While she simply brushes us off with a polite, if perfunctory, smile. === As usual, kudos to your post processing skills of razor sharp focusing and non-excessive creamy...
