Here are some random portraits I took over the past week.
First pic of my friend, my idol, the fashion photographer, Jay Ismail:
Picture was taken with mado’s 17-35mm 2.8 (a really good lens and hella expensive too). Ambient lighting.
Second is a picture of one of the models during a photoshoot that was on-going at Jay’s studio. Gosh. Someone please remind me her name.
Next up is a picture of my friend Naguib taken in a parking lot on hour way home after Bunkface’s gig at Laundry. Trying out with textures in this shot.
A quick portrait of Jipi (Pesawat) just before the press conference yesterday for Twisties Bingit – a reality tv show that hopes to discover new band in the local music scene. Pesawat is the featured band and also carries the main theme of the show.
The next 2 portraits are photos of a kid I took at the Mocca concert which was held on Saturday night. I absolutely love their happy-go-lucky songs. Go listen to them if you haven’t! So anyway this kid was randomly walking around with his little guitar and obviously enjoying the attention of the audience who were ohhh, ahhh and awww-ing at him.
The kid watches as Yuna performs during the opening act.
The same shot of him but this time with a lot more foreground element. I love the textures of the tiles. As I didn’t want to disturb him with the flash, I pushed the ISO all the way up to ISO 6400. Nikon is not that good at handling high ISO (I admit) but there’s always noise removal plugins you can use.
