Happy New Year 2015

It seems these are going to be the last photos I can show this year. Here are some shots from a fashion test shoot I did a while ago. It was so much fun to edit all in black and white this time. It's a different kind of joy to edit, with your focus mainly being on controlling the brightness, darkness and sharpness.

This coming year, I hope to continue realizing new aspects of photography in order to deepen my style.

Hope you all have a great start to the year 2015!

High key

A while ago, we had an editorial photoshoot in my studio. I didn't have any photos with high key lighting in my portfolio and have been wanting to set that kind of shoot for a while now.

We are grateful to have had the chance to work with Sharleen (Key Model Management) for this shoot.

I believe she has so many weapons as a fashion model. Her looks and creativity show much potential for her future.

Also big thanks to our talented MUA, Faye Smith and the awesome wardrobe stylist, Michelle Davis.

Make up contest

A while ago, we collaborated with a talented MUA, Paula Lanzador, for her entry for a MUA contest. We ended up doing 4 different make up looks. Each one was a totally different theme and it was a pleasure to see such a variety in creativity.

I want to improve my retouching skills way more, but I need to accept the level that I am at right now.

Big thanks to the model, Isla Hughes and the stylist, Michelle Davis.

Hope you can enjoy the images from our shoot.

Fashion designer

A while ago, we collaborated with a fashion designer, Minhee Jo (http://www.aaizel.com). She visited Vancouver from Australia to showcase her latest collection for Vancouver Fashion Week.

Thank you so much again for letting us use your awesome clothing and hope you enjoyed your stay in Vancouver.

Everything went as planned for this photoshoot because I knew Claudia's skills well since we had collaborated a couple of times already.

Thanks again to our strong team members, Claudia Bakehouse, Andrea Salazar, and Michelle Davis.

Skin tone

I have been editing a lot of photos these days. One thing I am really focusing on now is skin tone. I've been trying to find a nice balance between the tones of brown and green. I'm still far off from the creating the image that I want to achieve, but I'm anticipating finding my own recipe for that some time soon :)

The photo below is an image from our latest test shoot with Elysha (Key model management). Big thanks to all the members involved in this photoshoot. (Jocelyn Chen/MUA, Michelle Davis/wardrobe stylist)
