save the best for last (part 1) 0

every year is made and rounded up the moments captured through the times we live in. as 2011 closes, i collected bits and pieces of memories from my archives.

unlike other blogs and feeds, i will be featuring more unpublished shots that happened throughout the year. not in particular order, i present the pictures of 2011.

happy new year everyone!

during the eid holidays, i managed to attend three photo sessions. one of them was a portrait of a baby turning one. her mother needed the shots for her daughter’s birthday. as i started to setup the equipment, i realised that i forgot to bring my backdrop. without it, i had to improvise.

“think and don’t panic.”

paula was the first model to be photographed by our group during a fun shoot of camera club of dubai. i was invited by a colleague to give some pointers to their members. although glam and fash was not my cup of tea, i applied a few tricks and experience in portraiture. among the models, her costume was bright and joyful. the color pink would always be a happy one. i decided to challenge myself with a different mood yet with a little seduction.

the solution: location and lighting.

last week, we were invited by our friend to take photo of her… during her pregnancy. it was quite a challenge for me because it has been a long time since i practiced my off-camera lighting. also, it was the second time for me to shoot such occassion.

photographing interiors were one of the most challenging tasks i encountered. when we were in maldives for a vacation, i tried to document everything including the villa we stayed in. it has a porch with hammock and the villa was close to the beach… worth taking a photograph moment.
