Bangkok
0I’m late on posting pictures from the final leg of my trip to South East Asia back in April. Bangkok was by far my favorite city. It perfectly balances both buddhist traditions and contemporary ideas. The food was amazing and plentiful. Though I was there during a political stand off between the rural and elite, I was still able to experience Bangkok without too much trouble. After returning home and viewing the pictures I took in Bangkok, I realized that they predominately focused around the Buddhist temples. I regret not taking more pictures of the city itself, but at least I have an excuse to return.
Nikon Coffee Cup
1Though Nikon hasn’t officially sponsored this accessory item, its finally nice to have an equivalent to the Canon lens cup that came out months earlier. This cup is going for $50 on eBay which I think is a bit much for a cup even though its shaped like my favorite lens. If anyone wants to buy this for me as a nice gift, please contact me!
Swimsuit Shoot with Palna
0I had a great shoot with Palna on Monday and it made up for a pretty crappy day of shooting on Saturday. I was really determined to get some great shots with Palna and boy did she deliver. For this being her first photo shoot, she did a really great job and I hope to work with her again in the future.
A fellow photog, Anne of agmgfotography, was kind enough to assist me with the shoot and even brought along her friend, Trisha, who was an MUA. Trisha not only did a great job with the makeup but she also was helpful as a location scout and stylist as well. I have to thank everyone that helped on this shoot because I wouldn’t have been able to get the beautiful images without them. Go Teamwork!
The lighting for this shoot was very simple. The afternoon sun was being lightly diffused with some overcast clouds and created some really beautiful lighting that I used as my key light. I used a gold reflector as either rim lighting or some fill depending on the angle of the shot. Anne and Trisha had their worked cut out for them holding the reflector in place because of how windy it got during the shoot.
Here are some Behind the Scenes look of the shoot:
