Happy New Year!

NYE at the studio…
I like how the shadow of hanging discs paints the walls of my room…

Happy New Year!

I’m back from my vacation – Maldives Diving trip!

I was on a boat for 8 days diving 3 times a day! No internet, no emails, no phones. It was definitely a great way to get away and enjoy myself!

Here are some photos from the trip. I didn’t bring my Canon 5D Mark II this time. Just a good old point-and-shoot camera, like a real tourist… :)

It’s hard to tell the scale from these pictures but this is a huge clam, a size of iPad, and the one below is nubi branch, a size of a thumbnail.

Just watching this scenery makes me calm… A great way to meditate.

A set of an old diving gear, and the view from my favorite cafe in Maldives. The name and the location are secrets! :)

Apparently, we need to put on weight to gain confidence! Also, did you know that Paint Globe is No 1 paint in US???

Engagement pictures without getting engaged?

“Why do we have to wait until we get engaged to have some awesome photos of me and my boyfriend?”

Unfortunately, I don’t have a boyfriend. But if I had, why would I have to wait? Why couldn’t the “engagement session” be just something like… ‘we-love-each-other’ session? Even more so, why do we stop taking the beautiful professional pictures together once we get married?

For me, it sounds like guys are willing to ’scarify’ only once in his life.

Girls, it’s time to change that. Look how beautiful these are. Instead of asking your boyfriend picking halloween pumpkins with you, ask him to get amazing photos with you. If he loves enough to go pick pumpkins, I’m sure he will be more than willing to get romantic photos with you. :)

Some guys, actually most guys, are not really keen on posing in front of a camera. But all of my grooms were more than happy to do so because they love the girl who they were doing it for. Also, I don’t really ask my clients to pose. I want them to be who they are and ask them to just talk to each other during our photoshoot. How hard can it be? Just to talk to your girlfriend, right?

Look at these pictures. You don’t have to get engaged to get these lovely pictures of you and your boyfriend.
