A Photoshoot after so long! :-)

It's high time I should be more hardworking and start updating my blog regularly before I get forgotten *sniffs*

Nonetheless, I am still thankful to all those who are still following my blog after so long - Thank you for your support! 

Many things have happened in my life recently - Ups and downs, but I guess I shall focus more on the positive ones. 

One of the happier recent things that I did was a photoshoot with my dear photographer friend, Sam Song (SS). (It has been AGES since I last had a photoshoot. As some of you may know, I have not been participating in any photoshoots since I held a full-time job - AND I REALLY MISSED IT!!)

I have had the blessing to know Sam and his lovely wife-cum-assistant, Angie, many years back - and we had decided to come together to do another shoot again after so long! 

Despite the fact that I have really gotten rusty and not as flexible as before in terms of posing in front of the camera, I felt so at ease and comfortable with them during the shoot (They are really very lovable people whom I truly enjoyed working with). I am really grateful to both of them for accommodating and being so patient with me. Especially Angie, who had provided such great assistance. :)  

Although many of you may have seen the images on my Facebook already, I shall re-post them here just to share a few of his work! 

(Note: I understand I may look like a foreign bride, but please do not use the images for any dating websites hor! All images copyright: Sam Song Photography)

Got look like my true self, SGCOMPLAINQUEEN or not?!! Haha. Honestly, I have always been a fan of Sam's work, and I felt really honored to be able to work with him on the shoot. (If you are reading this, Sam, here's a shoutout to you and Angie: THANK YOU!!!)

I just think that he is a VERY talented photographer with great skills. I am in absolute awe of his scenery shoots as well.  

One can tell that his photographs aren't just a minute's work but tons of effort invested in them.

If anyone is interested to view more of his work or engage his services as your photographer (which I am certain you WON'T regret, guarantee plus chop!), feel free to head over to his official photography page on Facebook at:

And in case you are wondering, no - he did not ask or pay me to advertise for him. I am just sharing what I think is really good! :-)
I hope you guys have enjoyed the pictures, I'll share more after my next shoot! :p

Photography Services lobang!!

Have you ever wanted to own a set of professionally taken photographs, but yet have no 'lobang' for a an ideal photographer??

OR

Are you looking for someone to capture your beautiful moments on camera during your ROM/Engagement party/wedding? (Come on, it's a BIG day and you wouldn't want to mess that up with poorly-taken photographs, right?!?!)

OR

Are you looking for someone to capture that once-in-a-lifetime moment during maternity? 

OR

Or are you simply looking for a photographer who has the ability to turn your images into something model-worthy?!

If your answer is Yes, yes, yes, yes anddd YES.. then read on because I am going to introduce a special lobang for you!

Meet Sweetz Memoirs Photography  

, made up of a team of dedicated Singapore-based photographers whose aim is nothing but to capture your best moments in life.

(Okay lah, I can vouch for the quality because one of the photographers is my personal friend, but that doesn't mean I am biased hor!! I just know a good work when I see one)

They have a Facebook page that is constantly being updated as well, and I just love seeing some of their works there... With credits to their Facebook page, let me share with you some of my personal favorites:

A ROM shot that makes me so jealous:

Personal makeover shot: (Now that makes me tempted to shoot something like this, too..)

(YES, do you know that they provide hair and makeup artist too?! So do not worry if you don't know how to make-up. Just leave everything to their good hands!)

Okay lah, there are more on their Facebook page- You can click in to see for yourself!

Honestly, I do think investing in photoshoots at least once in your lifetime is WORTH it.  Sometimes, I love being photographed - Not because I'm trying to show off anything, but I just feel that the moments captured are just... timeless. It's that specific moment stays in there forever - immortalized. You could look back at the photograph 15 years later - and that youth captured was priceless. No amount of money can bring those moments back, but photographs will always be there to remind you of them.

It's like a pictorial diary of events in your life.

If not for the fact that my parents really dislike being in photographs to the core, I would really want to arrange for a family photoshoot. Oh well.. I guess that will never happen for me.)

[AMAZING] Windows on the Past

So I was doing some random browsing on Facebook and came across something that literally got stuck in my head. It was so mind-blowing that I felt as though I was out of this world. Believe me, I was so deeply intrigued.

I have always been fascinated with things of the past, be it people or objects. I can spend hours browsing at historic artifacts while immersing myself in that moment; wondering about the stories behind them. 

The feeling is like being transported back to the past MENTALLY, and I was witnessing the past through a simple historic object presented before me.

Here are some amazing work by artist and photographer, Hungarian Zoltan Kerenyi.

It's very interesting how he blended photos of the past and present together to form the perfect interception.

Same venue, different generation.

It's like a window to the past - People are stepping on the same ground as those who were there decades ago; and we are now looking at the beautiful combination of both.

Enjoy the breathtaking edited photographs that will give you an instant transportation back in history...

OH WAIT - I think you should listen to this and scroll through the photographs at the same time - EARGASM GUARANTEED!

Different dressing style...
