Portraiture Photography | Yvonne at Putrajaya Park

October 15, 2009

I went to Putrajaya to do a profile shoot for Yvonne. It was a pretty tiring day as we started quite early, around 12pm and we ended around 7pm in the evening. I quite like some of the photos and I thought would like to share with you. I uses only one light for the entire shoot, either with 1/1 power, and some at 1/32 to make certain effect as well as a fill-in flash. Remember always to keep thing simple and easy, results will be awesome. Hope you light this set of photos and enjoy! Contact me if you would like to hire me for any events! Cheers, Gabriel

Enjoy~!!

Pangsoon Waterfall + Bikini Shoot

May 16, 2009

Opps, I’ve forgotten to update my blog on the trip where I went to Pangsoon Waterfall for a bikini shoot. Well, this trip is very challenging yet very fun. In order to reach the to the waterfall, we’ll have to do jungle trekking for about 1 hour ++.

Thank God for the whether as everything went well & smooth

Alright, once we reach the waterfall, it was beautiful, no doubt.. every member straight take out camera & start shooting.. especially SatinDolls that fully utilized the time he had to shoot whatever that he could.

Other than him, other photographers also busy shooting with the model as well as the waterfall.

We enjoy ourselves there. We had lunch up there. I manage to enjoy the waterfall there for a little while, it was really fun. The water that strikes on my body was fantastic… words cannot tell, you must try it yourselves up there.

I’m going up there tomorrow morning again. Bringing some friends up there to enjoy as well, so I tumpang myself up there again lor. It’s also a good exercise as you need to hike up there for about 1 hour ++ since I need a lot of exercise la..

FYI, after waterfall, I’ll be heading to One Utama for Freeze For Green Event that organized by the MCA Youth Selangor in conjunction with the Green Environment days. Check out more info here and here also.

Model Shooting In Putrajaya Precinct 1

May 12, 2009

Announcement Thanks to Flikteoh.com for making a special theme for Gabriel Lai dot Com blog. Hope you guys love the theme made by FlikTeoh. He has been a tremendous help throughout the development as well as the bugs fixing of this theme. Thanks once again!!

Last Saturday we did a Model Shoot in Putrajaya Precinct 1. If you know well about Putrajaya, one of the happening tourist spot in Putrajaya is Precinct 1, where you can enjoy the Prime Minister Office, the flags & water fountain, the river lake as well as the red mosque. If you spend a little more time to round around Putrajaya, you’ll be able to see a few beautiful bridges there as well. One of the bridge I took last year is here.

Oh ya, I did a shoot alone in Putrajaya last year, where you can see here & here as well.

The weather on Saturday was awesome. Not very hot and not very cloudy. Just nice for shooting. But when it touches 11++am. The sun was getting hotter & hotter. There were other tourist from India & other countries that saw us doing photoshoot, and they were so excited to see our activities and came to chit chat with us LOLXX!!

We then went on to a tunnel that connecting Precinct 1 and Precinct 2. We did some shots with the strobes as well as the natural coming in from the Window in the tunnel and follow by a group photo with 4 strobes in the tunnel.

Will upload more photos tomorrow, ya?! Cheers

** Photos are special edited by Sebastian. Thanks dude
