Alice * Ivan

TY — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 04:40:14 +0000

The aim was to do something a little bit different with this shoot – starting by using pregnant model Alice! The location was kept plain and simple – a hotel room, similar to the Britannia hotel rooms, which offered a comfortable but unobtrusive backdrop for the shoot. The focus was to be exclusively on the models, and I wanted there to be as few distractions from them as possible.

Rather than the ‘domestic’ feel of photographs of mothers-to-be, which I find is far more common, I wanted to capture something slightly edgier. That was also why I made the decision to include Ivan, the father, within some of the photographs. The result, in my opinion, is a beautiful collection of pictures – although much of this is down to Alice, who certainly looks radiant throughout.

Alice, a model by profession, a beauty by nature, impregnated a gift by God’s will (albeit with the help of Ivan), couple with a group of wacky & illogical “rojak” photographers, inside a hotel room, you can imagine…the chaos formed out of the ordinary.

I was touched + awed with my first “sexy” photoshoot of a couple parents to be, I almost wanted to cry… (partly because i am going to be a father soon, and thinking about the milk powder money, the baby stroller, the diapers…) ok ok , this is getting too far…

I wanted to do a slightly different way, it was my style to have a more balanced captures of the mother and father, and with Alice, anything is possible and everything is lovely.
This is not the usual homey shoot, this is glamorous, sexy, eye poping, tremendously adventurous …

somehow, they still turned out homey…sigh…ok, i am not sure what i am writing, sitting at Toh Choon Cafe, eating Tai Tong egg tart, drinking kopi and kaya toasts, under the breeze of the National wall fan…nice.

anyway, hope you like these… and wish Alice a safe delivery in November.

3rd tri-mester * fay + chengyi

TY — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 16:11:41 +0000

My 4th maternity shoot. And this time it’s the pregnancy of my best friend’s wife ~ fay. Chengyi, the father-to-be has been my good friend and playmate since we were very young, and his wife, Fay, has been wanting to do this maternity session for a long time. So, this was a special arrangement for them, and they traveled up from KL to Penang for this shooting. The title of this set, comes from the fact that Fay is in her 3rd tri-mester, 7 months into the pregnancy.

Buddies that came along for this shoot were achiet, and g3k. Do enjoy the photos being presented here.

Paula + Brad

TY — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 04:16:54 +0000

Special thanks and appreciation to Paula & Brad, who comes from the US as well, for the chance to capture the moment of her maternity bliss. Again contact was through emails, and when presented with this opportunity, I agreed to do it without any second thoughts.

Since it’s my first time, naturally I needed to do a lot of research, so that I may present to Paula photos that are of the highest quality and captured the mood well. I really do enjoyed the shooting session and do hope that, Paula, who took a special trip from Singapore where her husband is based, enjoyed and had fun as well.

If anyone would like to take maternity photos, please don’t hesitate to drop me an email or even call me
