This was done almost a month ago, but I only have time to talk about it now.

Sigh Sigh.

If you had noticed, I haven’t been posting anything on the project for quite some time. This is because FP and I are taking a break from the project – due to other timely commitments.

Also, right in the middle of the shoot for Week 8, one of his flashes refused to work – permanently.

So, here it is – the photo for Week 8:

It’s an image of solitude, though I personally find it abit creepy.

It looks fanstastic when it’s huge – especially when it is a desktop wallpaper on FP’s computer.

When will we be continuing with this project? We will keep you updated! :)

50 Weeks of Her – Week 7

For Week 7′s photoshoot, we went to an abandoned railway track. We had a hard time searching for this location but once we had settled down, things went pretty smoothly.

I was awed to be at this abandoned railway. the tracks were still there. Metal and wood. Part of it covered by grass. I was standing at a piece of history, even though I have no idea what went on here.

Which was why I found this candid shot of myself, very befitting the location. No this isn’t the official photo for Week 7, but it is my ultimate favourite :)

Isn’t it just charming? I love how it looks retro, girlish and quirky all at the same time. I think it’s adorable, and very vintage. Before this black and white version, there was another version which I loved as well. But this is more suitable to represent the 1960s. :)

This is something that he likes. It was a forerunner to being the official photo of Week 7 actually.

See the tracks behind me? This photo is quite a charmer as well. It exudes a carefree feeling. Sometimes you just feel like you want to just escape to nature and sit in the middle of nowhere to catch up with your train of thought? And there I was, sitting in the middle of an old railway track. LOL.

If you do notice, theres a bridge somewhere behind me. We did go there to take other shots but couldn’t do much as it was dangerous and FP just couldn’t take the risk with klutzy me. The tracks have holes and the fall to the ground won’t be pretty. So, we didn’t really optimise the bridge although it’s so beautiful in a very rustic way.

Another shot that I thought was nice:

This one seems to symbolize a whole lot of optimism. It’s as if it’s trying to tell you that “things are looking up”. Tho FP thinks I look like I am poo-ing. Pfft.

So finally, this was the official photo FP selected for Week 7:

I had a far away look on my face, which can signify a sense of longing, or depth in thought.

It’s funny how before we got down to doing this shoot, FP asked me, “Can you sit down on the grass?” To which I replied, “Yup of course I can, why can’t I?” And then he said, “Because you are a princess”.

Though it’s nice to have him saying that I am a princess, come on! I am not that dainty okay! Erm, just don’t bring me hiking where there might be snakes.

Here’s a gorgeous set up shot for Week 7′s photoshoot:

50 Weeks of Her – Week 6

I’ve mentioned in the previous post that in April, we lost 2 weeks of 50 Weeks of Her due to some unforeseen circumstances. So yesterday, FP and I had a wonderful time catching up to Week 6 and Week 7.

So let’s cover Week 6 first shall we?

There’s no out takes for Week 6. Besides, the photo speaks for itself:

It is meant to represent how uninspired and depressed FP was two weeks ago. It is rather depressing to look at this photo but I think that means that the effects intended are successfully transmitted.

It gives out a feeling of solitude, loneliness and sadness – all the negative emotions that I try to avoid as much as I can. However, I think that every photo is an abstract art on its own and thus making perspectives about the photo very subjective.

How would you interpret this photo? :)

*****
On a personal note, I’d like to add that we were at this location hours before we did the shoot. We spent really sweet quality time together, taking in nature at its best. It’s lovely spending the last hours of the afternoon at a place so serene, with views of families being together, children playing and nothing but nature surrounding us.

We went for a long walk, holding hands. Watched people as they fish (so many different methods of fishing!), walked over to the jetty, observing what’s left of the oil spill in the waters. To think of Singapore ever having that kind of pollution is just surreal – but there it was. Black, tainted waters.

While waiting for it to get dark enough, we sat in the car and just rested – exhausted from the earlier events of the day (in next post). We lowered our seats, and just talked, laughed and enjoyed each other’s company. It was simply a wonderful feeling to just be like that, doing nothing but be with each other. We even had ice cream :P

To think that it would be like that 24/7 after we get married makes it that much more exciting.

I was truly blissful and happy yesterday, despite the exhaustion that followed. Thank you FP :)

Urban Acid

Here’s a photo that isn’t part of the 50 Weeks of Her series (but seriously should have been!)

This should have been Week 5′s photo, but FP discovered this photo amongst all the out takes much later. Apparently, the effect in this photo is called Urban Acid (Don’t look at me, I’m just a pseudo model who just sprouts out fantastic sounding words like this without knowing what it means lol).

I really like this photo. I look tall (lol) and it looks like a high fashion magazine ad. No, I do not look like a high fashion anything in real life. Hahaha!

Just wanted to share this photo because FP takes the nicest photos of me ;)

We technically didn’t have a shoot for Week 6 so this weekend, we’ll do the shoot for it. Nobody said it has to be 50 consecutive week, hehe.

Photoshoot with Ika

So, as I have mentioned in my previous post, we did more than one photoshoot last weekend.

My cousin, Ika, joined us for the other shoot. Pretty fun outing, it was nice having other people around during shoots.

FP captured some really awesome shots of Ika, which made the trip out worthwhile:

I think this was his best shot for the day. All he asked her to do was pose as a rock star (lol) – well because she is a rock star ;)

I love the clouds, really pretty and picture perfect.

On the other hand, I love this shot of Ika just laughing. There’s a very carefree quality that seems to exude from this photo. Very nice.

It seems that we laughed aplenty during the shoot:

I really forgot what we both were laughing at for the photo above, but for the one below she was laughing at me because my face (according to her) looks hilarious. LOL.

One last photo to pin up here:

Please note that this isn’t really the final product. It’s a work in progress, a concept that has yet to be perfected.

I really, really like this photo. But apparently, the flaw was it would have been better if Ika had been looking up at me. We can always try again next time to perfect this concept :)

Did you see the pretty bubbles in the photo? I couldn’t stop trying to blow bubbles. I love bubbles, and for the longest time in my childhood, I thought I was a Bubble Princess. Hahahaha!

So go get a big bottle of bubble solution today ($3.90 from Kiddy Palace) and embrace your childhood once again!

(okay, promise – this one is the final photo for this post!)
