Gratitude 25

As a photographer, I always believe that every album should be unique and tailored according to my clients’ character and potential.  When my Zumba instructor approached me for a 25th wedding anniversary album for her and her husband, the 3 keywords that came to my mind are: Prestige, Cool, and Stylish.   

 From styling, posing, to photoshooting, my role is to uncover the potential of my clients  and explore a style that outshines their radiance.   I felt so blessed with the fully trust from my client, and am excited to see their makeover, making this silver wedding anniversary album one of a kind. 

Joy to the World!

Joy to the World, the Lord has come!

Christmas is always my favourite festival and I especially enjoy Christmas decorating.  It has been years that I would like to work on a Christmas theme shooting, and I will like to make it special as you need to find the right venue and it takes a lot of effort and time in sourcing and decorating.  

Finally, my dream comes true this Christmas after I started building my own studio last year!  With the support of my very good friend, Ada from A. Kitchen (P.S. she is definitely an evil in Christmas deco and table setting),  I've came up with 3 different Christmas scenes setting, including: Starry Night, the Little Barn, and the Christmas Table!

Scene 1: Starry Night

Many Christians see the star as a miraculous sign to mark the birth of Christ, and this is how I came up with this Starry Night setting!  Isn't it joyful to enjoy the starry night with your love ones!

The two little sisters reaching up the sky!

What's better than a cup of hot chocolate with your love ones under the starry night!

Bringing in props such as gift boxes and wine box stands so to add more Christmas elements to the images.  The kid is just surprised when seeing his dad bringing in the giftboxes and this image is captured right in time!

The real excitement on the boy's face when taking possession of the giftboxes!

Scene 2: the Little Barn

We know the Christmas story so well.  Mary and Joseph traveled from Nazareth to Bethlehem and was turned away by the innkeeper.  They took refuge in a barn, where little baby Jesus was born and laid in a manger.  And this is how I came up with my second setting, the Little Barn.  

A little bit about behind the scenes.  My clients were amazed when they saw this setting when walking into my studio, and has been asking how did I came up with these decos.  In fact, these were the collections I gathered all over the world the last couple years and it is amazed that how well they blended together.

Green pine: Laura Ashley Hong Kong

Merry & Bright flats:  Matalan London

Scene 3: the Christmas Table

The fondest memories are made gathered around the table.  Again, the Christmas tables decors are from all over the world, and some of them are even antiques which aged over 100 years!

Christmas wreath, reindeer, and green pine: Laura Ashley Hong Kong

Antique candle holder, silverware and cutlery: antique market in London

Golden pattern plates: My family collection since the 90's

Table cloth and christmas tree candle: Zara Home

Part II - Voice of the Harp

On August 28th, an unexpected collaboration between 5 parties occurred in a cross over project that yielded a set of wonderful photos and some wonderful new friends!  This was a special and unforgettable “First" for us all.

My high school friend, William (founder of Illusion Tailor Co.), approached me with an idea that blew me off my feet.  My eyes lit up as he continued to describe the project and his vision of ‘ a cross over photoshoot between like-minded individuals who are all passionate about what they do'.  Like dominos we quickly fell in line one by one and soon found ourselves - a florist, tailor, dress maker, harpist and photographer - excitedly brainstorming ideas for our project.

From the posh and stylish suits to the beauty of the harp being plucked by an angelic harpist in a wonderful gown against a breath taking back drop of gorgeous floral arrangements and French décor, we created the perfect depiction of elegance.  And as the day drew to an end, the reality that all magical moments don’t last forever, started to sink in.  With this lingering in the back of our minds we could not help but to think that this awesome page in our lives was in fact something we had always been longing to be a part of, perhaps even destined to do, and only materializing through some happy coincidence.

Here comes Part II, Voice of the Voice of the Harp! of the fine art project!  

Do more than just taking amazing imagery and live your dreams!
