Mezzotint said:Awesome set of pictures, Zeck. The model is really photogenic and she is gorgeous. You've done a great job. :thumbsup:
Btw where is this outdoor session took place? Doesn't seem like Botanic Garden. Mind telling me?
Hello Mezzotinit, thanks. I was lucky to have these pictures. Thanks to my friend too. The place? Some resort about 85 km outside Bangkok, Thailand.

Thanks Arcanic. I am still learning ways to improve myself better but shooting chances here are not as often as in Singapore. For this trip, it was rare opportunity because I befriended some real photographers here in Bangkok. Some of them are real professionals, most of them are like us, enthusiasts. I have not learned enough from my friend. If I am going to do this alone again, I don't think I can achieve this.

Hmm... Okay, point noted. Perhaps I should not have shot from that angle but it was a request from her. Don't know why, almost all Thai girls that I've come across loved the big head perspective shots. Maybe my skills are not good enough to deliver what she asked for. ;p
Anyway, I am surprised to see you commented. I have always liked your works. Hope to learn from you more.

Yes, a reflector was used. Some parts of the land were sunny while other parts were shaded. We shot a few pictures but found that the contrast level is way too high, lots of highlights and Tookta's face was pretty dark. So we deployed a reflector to fill in. The outcome? We all smiled. She simply looked sensuous.
zeckson, been a while seeing your pics. As mentioned by all, the model looks great, the pics look great as well. I do think that with a little better, maybe lighter makeup, it will improve further. take care in thailand.

Hello Bro Nemesis32, nice of you to drop by!
On the make-up, hmm, I cannot say much because in a shoot like this, or in most unofficial shoots, we don't have any make-up artists to cover this area. The model will come with her own make-up and you know very well how they are. Some times I do see big difference between the face and the neck.
Conventional make-up artists here are not cheap, not to mention professional ones. They are only present in major shoots or a commercial based shoot. No make-up artists here are willing to do jobs for free. In our case, we didn't engage any as the cost does not justify the trip. We are travelling outside Bangkok and the MUA will have to follow. This is a paid shoot by the way.
The procedure here is not the same as in Singapore and the cultural mindset is even more different. Casual photographers or enthusiasts do not look too much into details like matching fingernail colours, messy hairs, position of the toes, etc. They all have one common mindset -- To produce pictures with impact at the lowest costs. If you think competition in Singapore is tough, Bangkok is even tougher and I must add: cruel!
If impact = 80% composition + 20% details, putting it into money sense, they will rather drop the impact but save a lot of cost.
Also, I might have pump the saturation level a little too much on her as well. It might be me who is the culprit.
