Photoshoot

We know that everyone loves to admire pretty photos. Most of us would think that you'd prefer to be the audience. Some will prefer to be the one behind the cam, while the rest prefer to be infront of the cam. As for me, i'm a mixture of both behind & infront of the camera. Last weekend went to do a photoshoot together with Angel, DJ of Radio station 88.3FM.

I must say it wasn't easy to plan for a photoshoot, especially when you have to be the one incharge of EVERYTHING. Took me about few days to go through my wardrobe & dig out interesting clothes to mix & match. Searching for accessories to go with it & hoping that i do not have to spend a single cent at all. And finally i came up with 5 set of clothes, each different theme. I shall share some photos here with y'all. :D

This are some of those i took the other day. It took me around 6 hours to really wrap up everything. I'm glad to have met my photographers, very professional and patient with me. This is not the end yet. We still have an outdoor shoot coming up. Very excited for this one because it's gonna be more tedious than indoors. No power supplies, no water, no aircon, no chairs etc. I forsee this to be a big challenge but i'm gonna welcome it with arm wide open. :)

If you like my shoots & have some business opportunities for me, please do email me at queendom.54@gmail.com :) I'm open for blogshops, advertorials & products/event reviews.

Are you happy & shiny?

I was very busy ever since i got back from Taiwan. I'm still not done with my holiday posts yet! OMG! Okay, i'm here not to talk about my trip but what i have been busy with! I WAS SELECTED TO BE 1 OF THE FINALISTS FOR MS SINGAPORE UNIVERSE 2009, CHERYL WEE'S MUSIC VIDEO LEADS SEARCH! YAYYYYYYYY!! hahahahahhahha! *im mad* 

On the 1st of June, around 8pm+ my cell rang. I looked, unfamiliar number. *wonder & picked up*
Me: Hello...~
Unknown: Hi, can i speak to Quinie please?
Me: Speaking. *still wondering who's that*
Unknown: Hi Quinie, this is Khalil from music & movement.
Me: *thinking & mumbling* music & movement....... OH! ya ya?
Khalil: Congratulations~ You have been selected as 1 of the finalists for the Happy Shiny People Search. Can you come down tomorrow to try out & choose your selected outfit for a photoshoot & makeover session on this coming Sunday? Will you be free?
Me: *lost for words....* oh... OHHHHH~ tomorrow..~ *too happy already to even speak*
Khalil: Can? Are you available?
Me: yes.. YES! I'm free. What time? *smiling to myself*
Khalil: 2pm?
Me: Okay okay. 2pm. Thanks Khalil! See you tomorrow!
Khalil: Thanks Quinie! See you!
-Hung up-

Instantly, i thought to myself. WAH....... GOT SO LUCKY ANOT?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! So excited!! Free makeover, free photoshoot, free outfit to wear! Feeling so happy! hahahahahah! And so i went down to try my outfit and getting myself ready for the photoshoot on 2nd of june at Jean Yip loft.

So when i was there, i had to wait for abit because there were only 2 makeup artistes while there's 10 of us. I mingled around, walked around and started to snap some pictures.

Then after waiting for like 15mins, finally its my turn!

Finally it's done! I think it took him around 10-15mins only? He's very good at it! Oh his name is Wing. After i'm done with my makeup, i had to do my hair. Think it could be because my hair was very long, hence 2 of the hair stylists attended to me. =/

This is the very shy photographer for the day. Hahahah! He refuses to look up whenever i tried to snap a pic of him!

After hair is done, finally its photoshoot time!

That's how behind the scenes looked like! Main photographer is Kelvin Fok. He's quite a nice & patient guy. Guided me on how i should pose and all. I was so afraid that i might end up delaying everyone's time. =/ Here's a few final pictures of myself taken by him.

I think they are very nice! HAHAHAHAHA! I'm not saying i look good ah! Ultimately whether a photo looks good or not really depends on the skills of the photographer and the pose of the model. Personally i felt i was a very tensed up that day during the shoot. =/ Maybe i still don't know the photographer, that's why.

It was a week from the event day itself from the photoshoot day. I spent most of my days trying to cut some fats off by jogging and maintaining my face so that no pimples will pop out! I doubt i cut any fats! LOL! Instead of feeling nervous, actually i was feeling kinda normal as the event day draws nearer.

I'm not going to blog......!

Ya i'm not going to blog......... at a shot for my Taiwan trip! I realized it's taking me ALOT of time to edit and resize my photos even before i can upload them and blog about it! After a week, i'm still at Day 2's photos. Too much! This is it! I'm gonna blog post by post on a daily basis from Day 1 to Day 5 while i'll upload and edit the photos!

Day 1 of Taiwan trip

All the 5 of us were so excited that we barely catch any sleep, especially me! Whenever i have to travel, i always can't sleep. Because i'd be so afraid that i'll oversleep & miss the flight. I can't recall when this habit started but when i realized it, it has been going on for a few years already.

So before we head out..

The brother was panicking when he can't find his passport in his room. But little did he realized that he actually passed it to my step mom already. =.= Look at him, he's still so tired while i'm still wide awake. Must be the effect of coffee which i drank before leaving house.

We got really hungry when we reached airport.  My step mom tried to be smart alec, even before we can suggest having our brekky at where she said, "let's go Box toast!" Instantly me, bro and sis looked at each other & burst out laughing after a few seconds! Brother said, "it's Toast Box la! Geh kiang!!" LOLLL! Epic phail, seriously! HAHAHAHAHA! But that lightened up everyone's mood! =P

We took Transasia. It's my 1st time taking this airline & i start to wonder is their on-board food nice? Indeed, it failed me. =P

This is their so-called western brekky. Totally tasteless. I'm so glad i had my Box Toast  Toast Box earlier on! I did not even touch the whole set. Lesson learnt, always order your food when you book your air tickets!

And here we come, Taiwan!

1st stop, Taoyuan Airport. Then we headed to our hotel straight. It was a really small room & i shared with sister.

You know the 1st thing to do when you're in a hotel room - TAKE MANY PHOTOS! & i meant self portrait! LOLLL!

Yea in fact i have many more. These are just a few of them. LOL! I love photo-taking ma! Hah! So the rest of the day what we did were mainly eating and eating and shopping!

 

Along this street, there's alot of cosmetics shops and ladies apparels. It's all going at a very low price like $5 for a box of 10 pairs fake eyelashes. Their bikini are selling like only $15 there! I bought a set from there & it's of good material too! Love it!

But besides, shopping & eating. There's limited things you can do at Taoyuan. I guess the next entertainment would be KTV. I was very tempted to visit their KTV however Daddy didn't want to so i gave it a miss.

If you love photo taking of scenary or streets, you also can walk along the main streets of Taoyuan during the night to capture some of the nightlife there. It's pretty nice, especially those small alleys. Try to go the their Taoyuan night market too. There's alot of nice clothes which are going at wholesale price & you can't get that kinda prices in Singapore! However my advise, do change enough Taiwan notes there because they do not have money changer anywhere. You have to go to a bank just to change money or you have to look for an ATM to withdraw, which is hardly seen anywhere.

We only spent a day at Taoyuan because we are going to travel half of Taiwan, up till Taichung for the next of the 4 days!
