Model: Andrea for Ohunched@lj.
So I stood in as photographer for Ohunched's second collection, and it was a studio shoot. I haven't done too many to be comfortable yet but it wasn't as taxing as outdoor shoots. Maybe it was 'cause I had Andrea with me for this, or maybe 'cause the owner liked what she was seeing from the shots. Either way, it was all good. You can see the rest of the pictures on their livejournal. :)

The second assignment for my photography module was portrait shots. I think I look almost gross in all of my pictures. It was fun too, although we were all fretting over poses and the lack of time. These two are probably the only normal looking ones out of all the others. Like I said, I'm the best behind cameras, not in front. (I am enjoying the last few years of my teenage life where I can still pass off as normal with such (styled) hair.)


If you're wondering, yes, all my hair is real.
And this is my favourite shot from the collection :)


P/s: I love my blog's favicon =^.^=

On Friday, I did a shoot with the boys from A Thousand. Though we didn't use the location I'd recced a day earlier, I think it still went well. My editing skills are still far from impressive, and I really do have a lot more to learn.

Honestly speaking, I was a little afraid I might not perform as well, therefore contributing to one of the reasons why I wasn't looking forward to this week. But oh, now that horrifying week is over, I have yet another week to go through.

Also, school is starting in another 15 more days for me. I don't actually know if I'm prepared. The only thing I know right now is that my body is more screwed up than ever (I don't even want to list it out. It's too depressing to see how much agony my body has been through). Hopefully I'll be able to make it out of NAFA in one piece with my diploma (or even a bachelor's). But in the meantime, I will try my best to take care of my body. :(

_{Ugh, I'm not done with recoding my page yet! Need to get to work soon.}

Went for another photoshoot on Sunday. There was a bit of a failure in time management but... I got a few good pictures. Need to brush up on my skills, there's still a lot I don't know. Need to find some shifus to impart their knowledge with me. Heh. (Yes I know it's mostly with experience but they've got some tricks up their sleeve, you never know~)


Due to some conflict, we were only able to start as the sun was setting... :/ We were supposed to meet at 330 but only managed to meet 2 hours later, then starting another hour later. Seriously?

Anyway, I shan't complain too much... I just leave when the time is up and get whatever shots I can in the remaining time. Thing about dollfie shoots is that, sometimes they refuse to stand, or you can't just get them in a certain position 'cause of the limitations of their joints... So it takes a bit longer than a normal shoot. And then you have the clothes and the wig, accessories... etc.



Just before it got too dark, we moved inside, to artificial lightings. There wasn't much I could do there... The lights went half gone as it approached 2030, and so the pictures after that were quite dead. Sigh.


Flannel shirts never seem to run out of style. Hahaha and you can wear them any way you want!
Felt so ill that day. Ran through the entire day without food x_x Ran through 30 hours before getting something to eat. I kept myself hydrated though, else I might've fainted or something. I can last longer without food, but there isn't any reason why I should now so... I should try and eat on time. /nods/

The boy without a demon.
Whew! The week has been pretty busy, pretty entertained! Two photoshoots and a meet - quite a bit of photos to process and touch up. Not real official photoshoots yet, I'm going for one later! I'm tired but I'm tired in a good way. I like what I'm doing :') This is just the start... Hope this brings me somewhere ;D

Went on a little photoshoot with Cheryl on Friday in town! It rained a little, but only during lunch. We ate lunch, Cheryl and I ate lunch together. The last two people in the world you'd expect to see eating, had lunch together. Hahaha we had McSpicy.

Thankfully it wasn't too hot or humid as we wandered to an open space. I didn't get too many good shots... Sometimes I just don't know what I'm doing or who I'm trying to kid, that I can actually do photography... Fuck myself lol.


Getting all ready for the day! \m/
It was hard to balance Aden on uneven ground, like grass. Thankfully it was kind of like fake grass, so there wasn't mud or anything. It'd be such a mess~ There were nice and cute flowers that went well with Aden's kimono...


But he refused to stand well. We managed to get him to stand a while before he fell on his back. Yes, he fell. LOL fuck our lives but though the ground wasn't exactly soil, it was still soft and it cushioned his fall. Whew~ (He yanked the flower out as he fell. Violent. Aden doesn't like flowers.)

We got this pretty wonderful pose in the end.



It was quite a success. :) Aden didn't fall in vain.


We moved to another spot for a few more shots, since it was getting dark and we had another place in mind to go when it got dark. This backdrop had Aden changing into his prince outfit, /swoon/



DON'T YOU JUST LOVE HIM ALREADY, HE'S JUST ASKING TO BE DOLLNAPPED. A pity I didn't get any good shots in this background. It was either too awkward or didn't seem to have the feel in it... I'm only an amateur~

Later, we headed down to SP. ;D We decided to use the underpass there. So I managed to get that main shot up there in the underpass and these few might have made it if Aden had shoes... It's hard to find shoes that match his outfit, really.



It was a pretty exhausting day, running around places and carrying all that equipment... They just seem to get heavier as they stay on your shoulders...


Just yesterday, Saturday, Cheryl and I went for a dollfie meet. Again, I don't know what I'm doing, trying to be funny and trick myself into finding a community which I can feel comfortable in my skin... But I had my hair styled and was wearing my ASD hoodie!, so I didn't feel as horrible inside like I would, usually. :)

Didn't get to talk much with the latter but we made a few friends :)


Aden and Zen!

Zen and Sen!

THIS DOLL IS A BEAST. HIS BACK IS FUCKING BAD ASS. THEREFORE THIS DOLL IS A B.A.M.F. MONSTER. (He's wearing Aden's wig. Hahaha if you found the hair familiar~)




Sen! :) Cheryl had a crush on this boy, leaving Aden heartbroken for a while. But there were SO MANY others who had their hearts broken by Aden cause he was just too hot with this crazy abs and a sexy body, all packed in that 71cm resin. Heh.


BOYBAND. HAHAHA
Super funny, I tell you. First it was just the twins and Zen were sitting on the couch. I found them cute so I took them three together... before I noticed how they looked like a boy band xD Sen and Aden joined in later. Sadly I have failed all the band shots 'cause we were running out of time and there was a lack of scenery. :(

The day ended with Cheryl and I having dinner together (xD), then we headed home... Talking about loads of nonsense on the way back. LOL. If anyone recorded our conversation, it'd have been ridiculous. xD

Doll of the day :D
(Cause he's the new doll and... he is a twin to another doll! The doll in my banner.)
It was a pretty eventful day yesterday. It was a slow day, me just doing the stuff needed for the FOC tees. So happened it was Cedric's last day of exams. Since I needed to head out to get some materials, I had lunch with him.

Thinking about it now, Cedric is the kind of childhood guy friend a girl would grow up with - a good childhood guy friend whom you can talk, spar, joke, fight with without breaking ties... and still be really good friends after a huge fight most people would deem the end of the friendship. Hahaha. We had a good time talking lots of crap in our lives at the moment and wasted more time chilling.

I went back after and got ready for a test photoshoot with Alex. :) We were mostly testing locations and angles. Plus he had a new doll for me to work with, so I had to get familiar with him :)



Suave * w *
Paradiso is Alex's company. They're making clothes for these pretty dollies :D And yeah, he's selling that bomber vest. More coming up in the next real shoots ;D



THERE! These two are twins. They're made of the same sculpt, just different skin colour, eyes, wig, clothes. They're AOD Cloud custom.


A few test shots and...


* w *


It was pretty hard to work with the new guy 'cause he's still new - fresh strings, fresh everything~

It started to get dark so we went to the previous haunt. Familiar surroundings and I swear it ain't that good, really.


I abandoned this poor girl :( Frankly, I like the guy dolls more... Heh.

Alex also had an MSD, one of his customer's. She's super cute! Looks like a guy but is a girl sadly :( She's an AOD An. She's called Aoi :)


Play with me?


She's so cute in her orange straitjacket~ Plus her hair was just like mine :D So awesome, I love her.

All of Alex's dolls don't really have a name sadly. Fhl hahaha. So anyway, the doll of the day was like... dying at one corner xD



Took a few more shots with Aoi and Alex's smallest doll xD


And my Hello Kitty heh, so cute! Aoi's like guarding my HK.


Then we wrapped up and went home. I need to find more places where I can do shoots... and remember to bring my tripod along. Heh.

Just a little drained...
Last Friday, Cheryl and I went on a little dollfie shoot at Haji Lane! :) The weather was horrendously hot and wet... It was super hot initially, when we went off to get Aden's bag first. Then it started to drizzle and pour a little as we explored Haji Lane to find a good spot to take photos.

The original plan was to photograph Aden against a wall with grafitti but we could only find this...




It didn't work out well... and even more so when it started to pour again :/ We were left stranded at Bali Lane (I think that's the street name... I'm lazy to find out the name of the street so leave me alone...), the lane next to Haji Lane. Hahaha

The rain didn't seem to let up, so we walked around in the shops and tried to see if there were any nice backgrounds. Then we came across this shop with a swing, so we tried and had some fun xD



Yes it obviously didn't work out well too. :p The rain started to stop but we didn't want to go back to that wall, so we started to look for other spots.

We settled down outside this gaming shop for a drink, and looking at the corridor, I thought it might be a good spot for taking photos, so we stopped and worked here :)


Stupid guy in the background destroyed this otherwise gorgeous picture :/

His legs go on forever, like Bill's xD And the final shot:

And I'm drawing a blank.

Check out his sexy faraway look, xD And the final shot:

So bury me in memory.

We wandered off to the staircase beside the gaming shop, and the lights there made beautiful shadows on the wall :D And the final shot:

Hey nightmare, where did you get them teeth?
We wrapped up the day in the gaming shop (the lady of that shop had been talking to us and being really friendly and all~) with a game of Band Hero. Then we left for dinner and went home after :)

Nope, no photos of humans that day. Heh.

I think I just might really do something in photography too. :D
