Survivor of War – 戰后林旋

Thomas Tam — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 16:35:29 +0000

When was the last time I had model shoot? December last year?!?!! OMG! I can’t believe being a photographer who love to have model shooting didn’t shoot model for about 9 months!!! I still cannot believe it..can’t believe it..

Ok. Leave nonsense behind, let’s come back to this album, with a title, Survivor of War. This idea was initially by my photo buddy, Mat, who had prepared the costume and equipment. Thanks to him.

The concept behind was to emphasis the survivor(model)’s moody feel as it was after war condition, yet to have some art feel on every single photos, color process with a bit yellowish sunset in darkness. To maintain the existing lighting scene and color enhanced with some of the photos to bring out the essence of the concept.

Specially thanks to our talented model, Lin Xuan(林旋). Having a pose in the abandoned building with a mess structure was not a comfort things to do. But she was doing just awesome in every single act. Really appreciated.

So, enjoy the photos, guys

I met Thomas & Rachelle after attended the photography workshop in Singapore recently. They had actually contacted me pretty last minute for their wedding dinner held in Kuala Lumpur which just over last weekend. Rachelle is Singaporean and Thomas is Malaysian, both working in Singapore. Coincidentally, we took the same bus at the same time back from Singapore to Malaysia. Here are some photos taken during their wedding dinner, hope they like it.

Ps: Applied some new PS skill learnt from Mangored in some of the portraiture photos, wonder it would have become Durianred enjoy!

This was my first time being a second photographer for actual day wedding. Always wanted to try shooting at the groom side as I think its much challenging compared to bride side, as it has less thing to shoot when bride has make up session to be captured. Thanks to Jennifer Tai, the main photographer invited me to be her assistant for this wedding event. I had not seen Jenn for about 12 years after we left from the same company that we worked for. She came back all the way from US just to help her best friend to shoot for their wedding day. Chris & Audrey, such fun and lovely couple. Thanks for allowed me being part of this lovely moment and seeing you two celebrate your big day with your family and close friends. Wishing both of you have a wonderful life together.

This was a last minute wedding dinner shoot called by Luke, I was glad that they had chosen me as their wedding photographer for their last wedding dinner held in Bankers Club, KL. I love the environment of this place, it has old traditional English-style interior in their lounge area with gallery style western dining room. I only met Loke & Fern in the dinner place, they are very friendly couple eventhou this was our first met. Tall and good looking guy with charming wife. Love how they were being enjoy whole event and had good laugh.
I had managed to spend a little short time to had special photograph session with Fern around the waiting place before the event started, some photos to be share. Enjoy
Really nice to know Luke & Fern, congratulations and wishing both of you a very happy marriage life together.

Eng Chun & Julia had found me through Google search to be their wedding photographer about a month + before their wedding day. And just got to know that I was lucky enough to be chosen by them as my website name was found 3/4 page of under the wedding photographer list in Google.(I think I must do something about to keep my website on the first page )
Eng Chun & Julia.. thank you for having me be part of the celebrations! It was really great to photograph this lovely moment and seeing you two celebrate your big day with your family and close friends. Have a loving and wonderful life together!
