MiMi Portrait Shoot

Blog Date: 04/08/2012 | Photo Shoot Date: 03/25/2012

Two weeks ago I was back to Los Angeles for a wedding shoot. Since I do not go back to LA that often now, I decided to maximize the usage of my time.

The wedding shoot was on the 24th of March which was a Saturday. So I asked my friend Ben to organize an outdoor model shooting session. Mimi is the girl Ben brought.

So we found a spot with railroads as background and we asked MiMi to pose with the flow. She is quite natural and got into the act easily. Too bad the weather changed really fast and the rain started to pour in 15 minutes since we begin shooting. And we eventually relocated to shoot indoor in Pasadena’s City Hall.

I’ve known Yilin for years, but we never done a photoshoot until I relocated to the Bay Area. Yilin came up with the idea that she wants to get some portrait shoot done as she’s the goddess in the war. I thought it sounds interesting. So why not? Let’s do it.

We scheduled to shoot at the Palace of the Fine Arts in San Francisco. This is also the first formal portrait session that I shoot in the Bay Area. Well, working with Yilin is easy and fun. We knew each other well so communication is not a problem. She also got some modeling experience so posing her is a piece of cake, even that sometimes I am shooting far way with my 70-200 F2.8L. The most important thing is that she has the desire to act. We got the photoshoot done in less than an hour. I just didn’t want to stay in the cold and windy outdoor weather for so long; we already got the pictures, let’s head back home. Another thing that I love about for this photoshoot is the dress Yilin brought. It’s simple and elegant, and it fits our plan perfectly.

Thanks for Yilin bringing a friend of her to be my assistant, so I have someone to take care of my equipments while I was shooting in the field. There are many pictures came out nice, but I am only posting few post-processed pictures that Yilin worked on.

As a wedding photographer myself, I hardly have time to enjoy the whole wedding day without much working. But on March 11th this year, I finally got a chance to enjoy on Gillian and Ken’s wedding because I attended the wedding party as a guest. But I still brought my camera to help them get a few pictures. I shoot about 100 pictures total that day and finally I picked out about half of the shoot and gave the pictures to them. I hope they like these pictures.

I fell in love with the Austin Martin DB9 since 2007 the first time I saw it in Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles. This car is quite often seen in Los Angeles and every time I met this car, I want to get a few shoots for it but I never got a chance until last week, when I was shooting at an Engagement Party in Woolside, California. I do not know whether other people categorize this car into the supercar rank, but it is one in my opinion definitely.

從07年起每次見到這台車都想拍兩張,雖然見得多,但真正把相機帶著的時候又沒碰著,上個禮拜在山裏面拍派對時候正好見到一輛!

Something about Photography Style
Photo Shoot Date: 2011.05.15 / Blog Date: 2011.09.05

If someone asked me what kind of style my photography is, I really don’t know what style I am being assigned to.

I believe photography style is the combination of the shooting habit and post processing technique the photographer uses.

I am constantly changing my style and achieving newer and better photography. I guess uncertainties is my true unique style.

The following few pictures were shoot in Langham Hotel Pasadena back in May this year for Lisa and Edwin:

如果要總結我的攝影風格是什麽,那麼不斷變化就是我的風格。我認為攝影風格是個人使用攝影器材的習慣加上後期處理的手法。我沒有可尋的固定的手法去對待每一次的攝影,而個人攝影技巧的發展更加不應該有任何的束縛,只有不斷的去學習,模仿,嘗試和創新,才能夠不斷地進步!
