Modelling for My Own Website

While my brother is still around, I asked him to photoshoot me. I wanted to redesign my web design company and make it more friendly, more ‘me’ oriented.

It wasn’t hard to find a background, since the room next to mine is pretty much empty, due to renovation. The process was painful and mind numbing. We had little knowledge (or rather I) of lightings and angles. Some pose like crossed arm were automatically banned. Crossed arm means being defensive (body language, don’t ask).

Though it was a dreadful process, I really did enjoy the session. Most importantly, the Adobe Skin Care (removing scars in 3 minutes).

There was a few pose that striked me. “I should play with this picture!” And so I did.

(tipu! baju raya 2000 ni!)

haio2.jpg
Arguably the most annoying advertisement on TV (in between news). “Abg.. ini rumah kita.. ” !@#$%^&* (takkan rumah Khir Toyo plak? Lameeeeeeee.)

If I have to chose, it’d be GAP.

Poyo? Just because I’m talented and daring, doesn’t mean you have the rights to judge in anyway you like. Stop degrading others and see the world in different views.

ps: Anyone can be a model.

Is “poyo” considered as a critic’s remark?

Critic : a person who is professionally engaged in the analysis and interpretation of works of art

So no. Poyo is not a critic. It’s a low blow for people with shallow mindedness.

iklan 1 – ada ciri-ciri musician tapi klu kamera dpt main shutter utk nampakkan skill ko pusing stik drum tu. ps – ko main drum ke?

iklan 2 – bagi aku untuk iklan seperti kamdar, dah memang solid tapi kurang meriah. mungkin patut letak render skit he3 :p

iklan 3 – jutawan kena lebih senyum palsu (kah3).

well, memang mantap dan cun! secara tak langsung dapat buka lebih banyak mata dan minda ;)

Reply to This comment


NoktahHitam replied #1

1 – Tak reti langsung. Ade yg pusing2, tp susah nak crop mcm tu.

2 – meriah tu susah skit. Cukup la sengeh mcm tu. Takde org terpikat pon dgn iklan kamdar.

3 – senyum palsu dan senyum kayu :D

I totally agree with the fact that “Anyone can be a model.” It’s only the matter whether or not the camera loves you.

Btw, I love the Kamdar shot; innocent with a hint of cheekiness ;)

Oh, and the photoshoot looks so professional! I dig the overexposed feel of the photos. And of course, you’re looking so handsome heh!

Finally got a good look at your face. Didn’t really know how you look like before this :P

Speaking of which, I’m still saving up for an external flash unit…

If you don’t mind spilling, how do you do this “I dig the overexposed feel of the photos”?

Old farts need to learn too ;)

Reply to This comment


Teddy replied #1

Eh, basically it’s just overexposing the photo, either by using the Manual mode in the camera or in Photoshop during post processing. Of course, for the authentic effects people do it using the Manual mode but there’s a fine line between artisitcally overexposing a photo (which you did it so slickly!) and the gross kind of overexposure :P heheh.

Who says you’re an old fart? Come on. You’re not old at all!

It used to be safe to post self portraiture in the olden days. But it turned out to be a nightmare, not so many yonks ago, to me, I mean.

Some craps used a pic of mine for something unnecessary, and being posted on the net. And truth be told, it did jeopardize my career at that time.

I know you are a smart guy. But bear in mind, every action possesses its own consequences.
