** Psst btw, I change ze blog layout cos the other one wouldn’t display photos right! hahas, just saying..**
For a while now, I’ve been having trouble with figuring out what type of photography i want to do in life. I mean, portraits & weddings, that’s what I love to do, BUT i always thought that maybe I could pursue a bigger dream of being a fashion photographer. I would never call myself that now, cos really I haven’t done as much as I would have wanted and I haven’t achieved the level that I set for myself to deem myself as one. Circumstances also pulled me away from that entire idea and threw me into the world of weddings.
And Oh. How i love it. Yes, it is only AFTER my two weddings, that I’m really in love with weddings. Isn’t that just ironic? Oh wells, better to love it than to hate it right?
So recently, we found out about a Bridal Expo - and they’re having a competition for photographers! And there’s a category for “Contemporary - High Fashion”. Honestly, i think that means something different here than it does in a big city, BUT this really got my wheels turning (hey, we just finished Limitless too, muaha) and I saw everything as a fish eye…. hahas jk. Anyways, i started looking up wedding fashion images - and i was absolutely in love with what I saw. Wedding Dresses + Gorgeous Lighting + DramaticScenes?!?! Heck yeah. Total Epiphany.
I mean just look at this -
(1-4) Zhang Jing Na (Possibly the most talented fashion photographer in Singapore - and she’s like my age or a few years older than me?? I say possibly cos i don’t know if someone else has popped up. But she is to me!)
(5 & 6) Lucida Photography (Now she is the one i look up to as per wedding photography - this is what we’re progressing towards)
(7 & 8) Mario Testino (This guy IS my idol for photography. HE IS AMAZING.)
We’re about to do a shoot especially for this competition and that will be the real test. We’ll see what comes out and if the results are good, ooh boy.
I’m going to have a field day.
:P
