i blame this post on instagram’s downtime. when i got frustrated uploading my usual fix, i decided to clean up my photographic equipment. while wiping one of the lenses, my imagination sparked once more.

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unlike other blogs and feeds, i will be featuring more unpublished shots that happened throughout the year.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.
