It was Cold, Foggy and Dull Grey Sky When I arrive Holland the first day, Sammy told me It's always like this in Europe, It makes me realize how I miss shooting a Blue Sky back in my hometown. What ever weather condition it is, it's best not to rain. Sammy then said,"I've check the weather forecast , and it says it's gonna be sunny tomorrow." then i said, " Back in KK, We don't really trust the weather forecast, it usually turn out the other way round." but of course we pray for the best. Wedding Day, not only the day was bright and Sunny, To our surprise the sky is BLUE!.. Wow the day getting better and better. Sammy was shocked himself, "It's a rare sight in Europe" he says, "Blue Skies only appear a few days in a year." And today is one of the day. I enjoyed the company of S + S friends and Families, They are Chinese Dutch but they converse in Dutch as their main Language, it makes me think twice to jump into their conversation..haha, Normally conversation leads to moments, that's when I anticipate and capture candid moments, but in this case, I have to predict and Imagine every moment myself..haha.. What a thrill. To my long-distant client and now friend, Thank you so much for the great opportunity to be a part of your life greatest moment and I enjoyed every bits of it in Holland. Here's the highlight.. The Hague Wedding, enjoy,
Wedding : Sammy + Sophie @ Holland Part 1

This is a big post, and that happen if you have too many Fave photos to choose from, therefore we decided to break it into two posts. It's a One day memorable event, todays post will feature S + S's The Hague Portraits session and their Wedding on the second post. I Love everything in Holland, the people are warm, The Histories are utmost amazing, The Structures are surreal and they have one of the most delicious food. It was minus 20 degree Celsius when I first arrive Holland, I was wearing two layers of shirts and a Jacket to start The Hague Wedding Shoot, the constant Weight Camera Lifting and Running Keeps me warm. I enjoyed every second of my stay in Holland, It's one of the place that I will definitely come back for more. To S + S, You guys are the best host, Your Families are Awesome and I just can't Thank you enough. Here it is, S + S's The Hague Portraits post.

Family Portraits : Jude + Fanny + Co
I had a wonderful time with Jude, Fanny and the Gang. I really like to photograph children, you can never tell what pose they gonna do next. Who would've thought that kids can be so cooperative, when I was a young kid I know I can't..haha. We started the shoot with a touch of green and of course, creativity and Fun poses are coming naturally from our Stars Jobb, Ethel and Eli. We ended Their 10th Wedding Anniversary shoot with our very own Classical Sunset.

Here's a sneak peek of what we going to learn, Rainer came to our studio for Sabah Bloggers Gathering 2009 Photoshoot. For those followed my Blog, I always use Movies as part of my Inspirations. See how we craft the Light and Shadow Portraits

We set up 1 diffused flash as a Main Light on the Upper Right to create a Soft Light to illuminate Rainer's Half face. Another lesser power Diffused flash on Rainer's left serves as the Fill Light and Finish up with a Non-diffused Flash slightly behind Rainer's Back to create a highlight separating the background.

Here's another example of crafting portraiture with Light and shadow, Left Image: We are using 1 diffused flash as the main light and Non-diffused Flash as the Back Light. This is Split Lighting Portraiture which you might have seen it in the Movie Twilight. Right Image, We're using 2 diffused flash on Rainer's Left and Right to create this mood. What you see here, is called the art of strobing. You'll get a chance to witness many types of technique in manipulating different types of Lights. Are You Ready?

Life is Beautiful

I thank God, for the most beautiful moment of our lives. We learned that obstacles and challenges in life are not entirely miserable. Sure, The World is getting tougher, the Pace is getting faster and Competition is getting bigger. Despite enduring on all these not so pleasant acts, We realize something or rather someone Beautiful about to enter our small lives. Back and forth We fought, We hold and We Pray, Lil' One.. you could never imagine how strong your mother is, The Support and Prayers from everyone here guided you to our World. Therefor, Welcome.
