Had my very 1st couple portraiture photography last weekend at Youth Park, Penang with Hong Foo (2nd Runner-up of Super Model Search 2008, Penang) and his girlfriend, Andrea. A very lovely couple I would say... haha...
We had a lot of funs while the shooting was in the progress. Also, I have tried most of the shots with my new lens, 85mm f/1.8...  Feel free to comment, mostly without PP... just using the natural light... #1  #2  #3  #4  #5  #6  #7  #8  #9  #10  This post has been edited by xavierchan: May 16 2008, 01:24 AM |

QUOTE(zacktan @ May 13 2008, 02:10 AM) lovely couple ya, very lovely couple...    QUOTE(Kee¹ @ May 13 2008, 11:01 AM) so sweet .... xavier got new lens    QUOTE(TheVoIP @ May 13 2008, 11:03 AM) Good try! Not bad... Thanks.So far the only comment is that the guy got no style... But that's not your fault. The gal is fine...  by the way, what do you mean by no style? care to share with me, so that I can let the guy knows, and he can improve in that... do you mean his expression? Actually overall, he looks great and cool, but he loves to smile... well, I would say if his face can be serious a bit, maybe he will looks better... QUOTE(orenzai @ May 13 2008, 11:23 AM) pic number 8 -10 WB a bit out..the photos very nice Oo? ok... Thanks. |

QUOTE(TheVoIP @ May 13 2008, 11:41 AM) Got style or not is very general la... So far if I see some people with characters, it really make the pictures come out and got feel... While for normal people... might be plain and boring... hmm... deep... but will try to figure out your point.. It is why some are meant to be Stars....   |

QUOTE(eddychstu @ May 13 2008, 11:57 AM) guys = stiff, gals= feels like not enjoying the moment. thanks. but photographing skill is good QUOTE(MayWong @ May 13 2008, 12:00 PM) i think is nice... Thank you... and thanks to the kinda good weather also.quite natural... QUOTE(keith_hjinhoh @ May 13 2008, 12:46 PM) #5 is meant to focus on the guy only? ya, was focusing on the guy only... QUOTE(myjunk @ May 13 2008, 01:09 PM) Oohh... nice "whispering sweet nothings into the ear" shot. Okay, thanks for the comment.Yeah.. I agree with TheVOIP, the shot of the guy with the shades is nice, but the feeling not there lah. When taking these sort of photos, I personally feel that there is a need for the model to potray/play the part. The eyes makes a lot of difference when doing these sort of shots. Remember Ben Stiller in the movie (aiyah.. cannot remember the name lah, it's about the male model and also got references to KL as well) with his "patented" Look. Additionally, I dislike the shades, the side rim got silver colour. Better if all black. (personal preference) Then really can look like "Hong Heng" Is it my Screen or is it that it looks a bit not bright enough ah? What f number you use for those shots BTW? Curious maybe your screen? or any other also feel like underexposed? hmm... well, mostly I was using f/2.8... was trying to play around and see what's the effect. and depends also... QUOTE(jleecy @ May 13 2008, 01:10 PM) wah....so fast get new lens after the model search event lor...haha...very very nice leh..wonders of 85mm!!!and also ur skills... Oo? you are...  haha... ya, after the model search event, I decided to get this lens, but actually I just got it last Friday... and thanks for your comment... QUOTE(BlueSilver @ May 13 2008, 01:47 PM) awwwwwwww.... so sweet. me like Glad that you like it... |

QUOTE(harrychoo @ May 13 2008, 02:38 PM) so fast post liao Oh... okok... shoot so much after i back some shots are underexposed, overall are ok..and my personal opinion, i dun like WB to have too much green tint, that's me only QUOTE(travis_ckf @ May 13 2008, 02:57 PM) wah very refreshing, and what a lovely beautiful couple! No 4 is abit wasted coz OOF, else it would be very nice. thanks...Very refreshing series! actually the 4th one, was in purpose... just wanna catch the feeling, but not to focus on both of them... QUOTE(a k a @ May 13 2008, 03:44 PM) if this pic, the girl wearing Levis mini jean skirt, i think can be Levis valentineday advertisment already =) haha... should ask them to wear same brand attires next time... |

QUOTE(PinkyWhite @ May 13 2008, 05:48 PM) sooooooooooooooooo sweet........................ so lovely............... i feel so envy~~ Thank you... very nice xavier....BIg BIg clap...............................  QUOTE(mindkiller6610 @ May 13 2008, 08:18 PM) 1. The OOF on the face makes the photos looks nicer 1. Thanks bro, make not enough of OOF? 2. it will be better if can get both of them in focus.. 3. the girl's eyes seem like not looking into the guy's eyes.. or she actually is ? haha...2. actually I took 2 shots, one I focus only on the guy, and the other one on the girl... was trying some kinda feel, but I didn't really got it actually...  3. erm, seriously, that was my mistaken... I am not sure whether she is looking at him or not, but in fact, I have taken few shots on this pose, but few of it, out of focus badly... and this is the only one which is still acceptable. |

QUOTE(felicious @ May 14 2008, 12:58 AM) #1 her sexy leg seems more attractive than their hands thanks for the comments... #6 loving this.. got the 'feel' #8 the model abit stiff. her leg open too much. #12 will it be better if it is straight? Anyway, I like your shots~!!! haha...i show both of them the comments, they are aware of it already. QUOTE(vkeong @ May 14 2008, 10:50 PM) your pics must be really huge Oo? I got no problem wor... perhaps TM Nut Screamyx? and I have also tried to view from different network also. i left my screen idle for more than 5 minutes and still haven't finish loading  QUOTE(keeseng12 @ May 15 2008, 12:48 AM) #1 and #4 are great! Natural feel, I believe that's the most important element in a picture. Thank you. Both of them are great models...

QUOTE(shinchan^^ @ May 16 2008, 08:37 AM) it seems the WB keep changing ok... and some pictures underexposed  QUOTE(travis_ckf @ May 16 2008, 11:28 AM) 6 & 7 is my pick of this series. The rest didn't work for me on the compo part, could be better. thanks.QUOTE(zio @ May 16 2008, 11:36 AM) #2 is a good idea except it took me a while to look at the shadow thanks, bro. PP too much...And the yellowish WB didn't really look for me. #8 has potential though, probably a different angle. QUOTE(TheVoIP @ May 16 2008, 11:40 AM) Composition improved! Oh, okay... But too much photoshop la... Improve the basic skill first la... Color too strong, too dark... not natural, and the worst part is the guy not good looking... some more wearing ear ring  QUOTE(outsider @ May 16 2008, 09:35 PM) waooooo.....lovely couple thank you... nice shoot  QUOTE(168257061 @ May 16 2008, 10:05 PM) later xavier be 2nd louis pang in the world btw , heres my comment. Some photo is good with compo + wb. some photo not sharp enough IMHO.... btw , want to shot a good moment for cople is hard... weather can help alot I assume. Still nice what  that's far more to go, man... Louis Pang is an awesome photographer... I am not even 1% of him yet...ya, somehow it's kinda hard to capture the best moment. but learn from mistake lo. |

QUOTE(orenzai @ May 16 2008, 11:11 PM) the WB not conistent..maybe rearrange the photos? i know you are trying to get the effect but the series has to relate with one another mar rearranging them should help lor... thanks...will take note for the next batch... QUOTE(andreachuang @ May 23 2008, 10:45 PM) I can't agree more, the girl is not good looking either. oops... but the important thing is the connection they have which the photos can bring out. With the great skills of the photographers, this vital element compliments and great photographs are made. Xavier, u're good! no doubt of your skill!  |

QUOTE(sinister @ May 30 2008, 06:00 PM) wah... my master X is here... not me but you...  QUOTE(orenzai @ May 30 2008, 11:13 PM)  the model come edi...guys dun talk bad bout them liao oh...hehehe...QUOTE(Grajindo @ May 31 2008, 11:00 AM) One of the pic i actually just saw it in tv la.. oh? TV? seriously? QUOTE(andreachuang @ Jun 2 2008, 02:26 AM) people, we ain't models and we're aware that we're not good looking either. Anyway, it's alright to criticize, but be constructive. Most of it are really good and some even post better examples! We really appreciate them. As for the hugging part, I would really love the mat salleh and the asian girl, but too bad our height difference are not that vast. Otherwise, that would definitely be better! QUOTE(raymannlucas @ Jun 3 2008, 11:17 AM) xavier ar.....invite me someday and teach me take good photo la... I am newbie also la... ur pic very the nice man.... and don't say teach, we can share share... I have PMed you an outing on this weekend... check it out and let me know ya... |
