Very European and trendy images. The likes of which we see in Black and White magazines.

There are lots we could learn from you.

Appreciated, thankfully it's well received by you guys here. Just luckily to be shooting almost every other day, be it job or hobby. Will be just loading images from time to time. Will try my best to answer your queries if there's any.

Otherwise, pls enjoy, and perhaps Happy Lunar Chinese New Year to all!!!

thanks for sharing your photos and your past postings. i am feeling the after effects of the law of diminishing returns after looking at them. it is like eating the same burgers regularly and left with no desire to want to eat it anymore. and desire to eat something else, like chicken rice.

Happy lunar new year to you too.

Happy lunar new year to you too.

Do show us some of your "chicken rice" works... we would love to learn more .. and appreciate other styles/angles of photography
Your understanding of techniques are pretty amazing ... make us (at least me) wonder what you can do if u put it all to practical use... in all honesty.. it think you works should be breath-taking .. or at least like a breathe of fresh air that will bring new life to this community of converging interest(s)

Hope you show us your work...
i enjoyed your previous still life/abstract image on the perfume bottle and hope you'll keep on shooting good works..


Happy Shooting

i am not saying that burgers are bad. actually, a varied and balanced diet is advocated by dieticians.

why does it have to be your works vs my works or skills vs skills or styles vs styles?

 

[pointblankshots]

Thanks for all that compliments, but have I actually put up anything to do with non-humans....pretty unlikely, or rather I can't remember them. Yes, I shoot bread and butter stuff, I'm sure it's not going to be interesting to most....

Maybe you wanna desribe the shot more in details in helping me recall the shot.... This is the closest shot I have on product and probably first for me to recall. As far as concern, I'm still a people photographer, I don't shoot everything photography has for me. Take it as a major.

Cheers,

Growth.... sometimes disregarded by many, or perhaps to small to take notice of their existance. Life is somewhat beautiful if everybody looks from another angle. Hope you guys like this.

 

[pointblankshots]

Just some stuff almost all perfectly walking human being outcasted. It just strikes me when I was walking past one some months back, and thought that one day life may not be as what it seems to be....

 

[pointblankshots]

Series of ad campaigns, though some says have seen it elsewhere in Australia, but this is as local work as it is.... Enjoy, concept of the over-turning

 

[nemesis32]

Some portraits I've done on ppl like they always were, so common it didn't strike our lives. Things we do to keep ourselves looking good.

Title for this series: I am a Mirror!?!!

I like the shot of the guy.

I'll just say that in photography, one can't enjoy every aspect of the art. Some prefer ambience photography where they have all the time to shoot what they want and perfect every lighting scenrarios, like still life and also jewellery photography. Some prefers to be in the crunchtime, stealing every shots and vying angles with many of its counterparts, like journalism.
Like me, I don't really know... I like photography, but then again not the technical aspects of it. I choose people to be somewhat a major for me, because perhaps I'm more of a team player than that of a solo worker. People photography has always been for me an outlet for my passion. You can't be too technical at times cos humans ain't gonna wait there for you to shoot, I constantly maintain the mood of everybody even though I might have woke up on the wrong side of bed. A smiling face from me keeps everybody warm and happy. At the end of the job irregardless, we all have deadlines to deliver. A job is a job, there's a brief to follow and really not shoot what you thought was good without running it through your clients.

I have many times got into a position where it's like, "alright then, it is gonna be a creative or a hard selling image where the latter is what I detest doing?"... It sucks when things like that happens. It made me wonder again if this is what I came into photography for. As times go by, I understand what it took to become not just a photographer, but a thinking one. Knowing when to fight for creative and when to come to terms to client's hard selling tactics. It's times like this where you either win a client or lose it for good.

As much as it is, I've my major and am happy what I'm doing and will continue to excel it in this fine way. I would believe many commercial photographer shoots where the money is(shoots everything). This way, after a few years of working, you'll really wonder at times where was that fiery passion that one started out with.... Discipline is another aspect of the job.

I wish you all, who may wanna consider this job give my words a thought. Whichever it is, I wish all well....

Which is creative, which is hard sell, and which is in between? You guys decide... I do shoot everything, but I'm always staying people oriented photography.

hey great photography. fabulous!

LOVE YOUR WORK VERY MUCH :heart:

you have a site where we can see more of your work?

 

[Godzilla Invades]

I think no one has ask you this question yet. So here goes....

Most of the works shown has good execution of lights, composition and style.

Just wondering all this concept and ideas are from various ad agencies? Or is it your own personal ideas? I have seen many of this works ideas are always created by ad agencies. Of course we are the technician to executed those ideas on to print ads. Sorry I am really curious on this and I have no doubt that some of this works are nice to view.

I must say most of your portrait works are leaning towards more to desaturate colours. Any reason for the desaturation of colours? Just curious but I noticed most of the photos has been DI as well?

Thanks for sharing.

The fashion stuff are very much my own, rather what I feel like doing. I would then convince my crew to understand my concept and we build it together. The ad stuff are conceptualized by the great people working in the agency. I execute them in the best manner possible after a brief draft is being thought of by the art director. Sometimes, acting as a mediator between the copywriter and the art director. I front the team of production so to speak, sit through pre-production meetings, follow through production and to the extent of making sure I proof read the colour before it leaves the studio. I buy time for what's needed to be done, and make sure I stick to it without errors.

My portraits works are somewhat desaturated actually not from post production, rather production itself. My camera system is different from most of you. It allows me to view set my balance exactly to what I want on site. Post production is only to fine tune it further 20%. Desaturation of the images? Good question... My Style perhaps....

In fact, for most works here that's posted, I do not see a lack in technical knowledge, or rather I'm sure there're gizmos talks and owns the latest piece of equipment in the market. I was rather caught by surprise when somebody in this forum ask me for my brand of camera and equipment. Firstly, I'm not going to do free advertisement for the camera by bragging about it. Secondly, I believe any digital SLRs could do the shoot you've seen so far..

What that's genuinely lacking is the effort in preparation for the shoots. Most would just go with the flow than to really create a signature. I hope my images has been different so far to you guys. The thesis is simple, I bothered to spare every effort and not allow it to be another of those.




Hope I answered your queries...
