The Wedding Magazine Commercial

image

Wow, so happy to se my photos on a commercial in a national wedding magazine, ‘The Wedding’,for a local bridal here in Makassar. Thank you to Wilsam Bridal for being such a good partner all along.
As for a beginner photographer… it is always fun to have our work published. This is not the first time but it always felt like it was the first. A real moodbooster and makes me fall in love yet again to the world of photography.
I know i rarely posted bridal photos in my blog but it has been a major part in my photography career.
Cheers to all of us!


Macro: A Part of The Passion

Recently I’ve trying a new kind of photography. Macro photography. I am intrigued by my Macro mentor Mr. Noordin Seruyan who was having tons of his work published in 1x.com and any other photography sites on how he used minimum gear to achieve great results. Too bad I wasn’t able to attend his workshop in Makassar but he was kind enough to share his knowledge by using other media. Thank you so much sir.

Here you go my first posting about Macro which was mostly taken in the middle of model session. I hope is good enough to enjoy…

1st in 2014: Miss Eky

Hey friends, This is my 1st post in 2014.  Glad to be back blogging.

Well just want to say a bit about photography. Photography was just my getaway from workdays routine in the weekends, but now, it has become my passion. The passion that led me into meeting with many many new friends and people. What makes photography is more interesting is that how vibrant the world of photography which arguably caused by easy access to own a red-striped or yellow-striped and maybe black expensive necklace called DSLR.

In My hometown, the proud city of Makassar, I can meet more than 10 people with DSLR in the malls at the weekend and there are photographic events almost every week, mostly in the form of model shoot sessions. Almost hundreds of DSLR owners flocks to these events if there are no limitations to the number of participants. Although I am not a big fans to such events nor bringing my DSLR anywhere, It’s a good sign that I wont be so lonely doing this and challenge to excel and be original. I wonder how far is my ability to learn will take me in this world of the light painters.

About The Session: This indoor session in a cafe with Miss Eky was very enjoyable. She is a very talented rising new model in town under the Donna Modelling School agency.  It’s a late post guys back from November 2013. Please enjoy.

The Beach: Miss Filery

Yes, this is the 2nd part after the post The Mountain with the same model, Miss Filery. The Beach was taken exactly 1 week after The Mountain. The Beach was taken at the PPLH Putondo (Center of Enviromental Studies Putondo), around 3 hours drive from Makassar into the heartlands of Makassarese people in Takalar. I intentionally did not take too much focus on the beach it self because there are many things that a photographer can explore on the spot which really make me busy trying to capture all of them. Please enjoy!

Lovely Miss Ling

It’s been a while since I posted anything at my blog.  Really cannot find a title other than this simple meaningful 3 words titile. Really suits Miss Ling so fine. This portfolio was taken at May 2013. 3 months old already and I still love it, however my editing is quite different now. Big thanks to Wilsam Bridal for yet again another great makeup and hair-do

Singapore: The Garden City in BW

Finally, another travel portfolio from LgP since our last travel post. The Colorful city of Singapore presented in BW. The city holds special place in my heart since I used to stay there for around a full year until I left the city in 2008, only to come back almost 5 years after. Hard it’s to make another picture of Singapore which do not look like any other tourist-with-a-SLR photo, but I think I’m pretty satisfied with the result and they are really represent my love for the city of lion. Glad to come back and see you soon.

Thank you to Mira Karina and Victor Nyoman for your invitation to have your pre-weddings photos taken by us at this marvelous city.

LgP and Miss Vivi Chen

It’s been a while since I posted anything because I’ve been concentrating on increasing our exposure and improving our editing skill. There are so many new photos I would like to post all at once but I guess I’ll take it slow.

This session was taken back in January 2013, around the city of Makassar. There are noticeable violet hues in some of the picture which I really like about the editing for this session. Thank you Miss Vivi. I am really glad to see you are still using these photos as your Blackberry Messenger profile picture up until today.

The Forgotten 10: At Marshland with Kethy

The Forgotten series is about those of my previously unpublished (at the blog) photos that I like so much, I just can’t let them rot in the hard disk.

It was sure a short session since I was forced to went home earlier and have to leave the session much earlier than anyone else. Luckily, I managed to get this photo. It was necessarily different but I like the overall surroundings and mood created by the photo. It is surely the One shoot that makes the whole session felt more than just worthwhile.

Miss Stacy: A Day in The Park

Miss Stacy is a talented young model and has been a favorite model for a particular photography group in Makassar. I love her natural pose where when combined with her unique timidness facial profile created a different feeling in a photo. Really not just another session at Leang-Leang Prehistoric Park. Thank you Stacy, very well performance.

The Forgotten 9: Meipho and the Mountain Bloom

The Forgotten series is about those of my previously unpublished (at the blog) photos that I like so much, I just can’t let them rot in the hard disk.

I always love the picture. I love the tone. I love the mood. Wonder why I have never published the work on the blog. The session is the same with our previously published photos such as: The Forgotten 2: Miss Meipho and The Windows of Malino Highland and The Forgotten 6: The Garden and Miss Fitri. It was such a great session worth to remember.

Happy Chinese New Year!: The Treasure of Chinese in Makassar

Happy Chinese New Year to All Our Friends, Family, Colleagues, Models and Clients. Proud to know you during the year of the Dragon and May we have longer and better relationship in the year of the Snake.

The Photos was taken in Ma Co Temple, which I considered one the most beautiful Chinese temple in the city of Makassar. Too Bad, The only original part of the building was the gate area which this beautifully carved wooden panel is located while the newly build temple cannot match the true beauty of the original building. Most of the temple were destroyed on the 1997 Riot.

The beauty is so captivating that now I planned to capture and show the world the beauty of this almost vanished treasure of Chinese ethnic in Makassar, Indonesia, later on the blog.
