Diptych Fun

So here are 3 sets of photos utilizing the diptych method. Once again, these photos were taken sometime back – probably in December 2010.

Unlike our usual photoshoots, these use natural lighting – which I think is awesome.

Interesting fact: For the first 2 sets below, which were actually from the same photoshoot, I was running a very high fever (almost 40 degrees celcius!). But like a boss, I pushed myself through it.

Diptych 2

Don’t you just love my hoodie? It’s the Red Sea! So when I unzip my hoodie, it’s like I’m parting the Red Sea. Get it?

Diptych 3

This photo was taken at a post Christmas lunch at Fish & Co. No connection whatsoever between the two photos unless you want to consider my hunger to be the tying factor.

That’s all for this short post!

52 Weeks of Her – Week 14

This was taken sometime back (on Halloween last year actually, way long overdue!).

It was pretty impromptu this shoot. I came over with a bar of really good dark chocolate for personal indulgence and he took the chance to utilize it into a photo.

He made me munch on the dark chocolate so that he could take some shots of the bitten chocolate bar (which as you can see did not make it to the final cut). Well to be fair, he helped out for a bite or two.

And then he made me smear the chocolate all over my mouth so that it has the “messy” effect.

I just want to say that dark chocolate is not supposed to be munched like there’s no tomorrow. At least, I do not consume my dark chocolates that way. I like to have it bit by bit and as and when I like to.

If I remember correctly this particular bar was at least 70% cocoa – considering I like my chocs bittersweet. So it was pretty bitter to have had to consume it in a relatively large quality over a short amount of time.

But alas, in the name of art – I sacrificed. Anything for a good photo :)

52 Weeks of Her – Weeks 11, 12 & 13

Once again, it’s been a while since I’ve updated on this project. It’s not because we haven’t been taking photos, it’s just that I have been procrastinating – which I should really stop doing when it comes to updating this site. So let’s get on to these 3 awesome photos!

Week 11

This was done more than a about a month or so ago. Doesn’t this just remind you of the memorable Power Rangers’ Morphin Time? (Oh, I’d totally be the pink ranger.) Once again, this is more of an artistic shot rather than a pretty shot. No idea why he doesn’t let me look pretty in photos.

I complained that the blurred version of me could be improved. My hair was messy, I look like a total idiot but FP told me that nobody really cares about the blurred part of the photo. Well I care, but oh well. I guess the focus is really more on the image on the foreground, embedded into the iphone.

The lighting is awesome don’t you think? There’s a bit of a music video feel to it. Pretty cool. Well it has to be cool when I get raving comments from my friends in Facebook when I made it my profile picture for a few weeks!

Week 12

This was one photoshoot that I really enjoyed. The background is so pretty in some of my favourite colours, it’s really amazing. Yes in this photo, the attention should be given to the background rather than to *cough* me.

He made me shake my head left and right for quite awhile (as compared to up and down for the original hair-o-graphy shoot) while he captured all the “glamourous”, tiny movements. Most turned out okay, but some photos could be used as blackmail.

He chose this shot to be the “official” photo for week 12. On the other hand, I had other ideas of what was the photo of the week:

Doesn’t this just look like a shampoo ad? You can just imagine the tagline, “If you don’t look good, we don’t look good” somewhere in this photo and it’ll fit perfectly. This was originally his choice for photo of the week but he changed his mind the day after. *mumbles-butilookbetterinthisone – mumbles*

In any case to be fair, the first photo is now the wallpaper of my iphone (yes narcissistic, I know) and the second one is still my facebook profile picture, and was also my twitter’s for a short while)

Week 13

This must be the first photo in this project in which you can’t “see” me, but it’s still awesome because who can resist a pretty pink gebera? (yes, it’s real!) All I had to do was stand there and hold the flower. For once I didn’t have to worry how I look, haha.

But this is certainly one of our favourite photos so far. There’s a soothing feeling when you look at it, and the colours seem to complement one another really well. I really think that this photo speaks volumes. Plus, it’s a personal preference for me to like things that are white and clean, with a splash of colour. So this really hit the spot.

Till the next time we take photos! :)

Had a random photoshoot today, despite me not being in the mood for smiles the entire day.

Personally I think this photo does not look like me at all, I have no idea why. Maybe it’s just me. It’s like my face looks a little too long and that I look almost Japanese.

If you think it’s the glasses that makes me look different, well that’s because those glasses aren’t mine. They belong to FP. I was wearing his too-big-for-me glasses while wearing my contact lenses (with similar degrees to his glasses) so it’s as if I was wearing 2 pairs of glasses.

Needless to say, I had a bit of a headache after the photoshoot was over.

And because the glasses were too big for me, I had to hold it up that way so it stays there, lol.

But I kinda like this photo because it’s quirky instead of another pretty photo. Pretty photos are normally taken on my own with my camera and/or blackberry – in the form of camwhoring.

52 Weeks of Her – Weeks 9 & 10

Wow, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything on this project. Well we are back from the long hiatus and there’s some changes. For starters, it’s now 52 Weeks of Her instead of 50 Weeks of Her (making it rounded to one year sounds better) and FP has gotten himself some awesome new equipment. What equipment? I have no idea. But let’s get on with the photos for Weeks 9 and 10:

Week 9

This was done a few weeks back. I was so excited when he showed me the military hat and put it on immediately. I have a liking for all sorts of weird headgear (well wait till u see the photo for week 10, lol). Thankfully that day I wore a jacket that can pass off as a military jacket, since this shoot wasn’t planned beforehand.

Anyway, the concept of this photo is sort of like The Chronicles of Narnia. Open a wardrobe and finding yourself in a completely different world. In this case, it’s opening a closet and finding a completely different universe. Imagine if this really happened. Now, wouldn’t it be fun? It could be serve as a teleportation station as well. Jump right in and you’ll be in the office, something like the Floo Network in Harry Potter – oh you get my point.

The whole shoot was fun, as was the post processing :)

p/s: I absolutely love this test shot. It has an anime feel to it and finally a nice shot of my side view!

Okay onward to Week 10!

Week 10 also involves a crazy headgear which I so love! It’s like a Russian hat and it’s really adorable. I wore it even before the photoshoot started, haha!

I forgot to mention the Kanye West glasses! This is such a goofy photo of myself. But goofy = quirky = fun! Who needs pretty photos all the time anyway, haha.

Don’t you just love the Russian hat + Kanye glassea + pouting Sha combo? It’s classic.

So, the question is: Am I really in Bali in this photo, or am I not? That’s up to you to decipher! :)
