number two

This is another piece that  me and shahzeeq did a few months back. Thank you Keith (the model) and E'een (the makeup artist) for helping us achieve this artwork. Two venues were involved in making this image work. The challenge of producing this image is to capture the fire which we did several days before Keith's photoshoot session, we made a human prop using wood and lit it up with kerosine. After we're done with both shoots, here comes the long hours of editing. I'm glad that the end result almost matched what i've imagined. My inspiration is from Alex Ross's paintings. Enjoy!

My second day with this blog, slill haven't got that 'writing groove yet'....hmpphh. Btw, there's a reason i posted this particular work here attatched in my second post. Recently i've encountered several minor problems dealing with people that think they're being concerned but little do they know, they are jeopardizing a long-term friendship that actually i care about. And dealing with people that doesn't see honesty in work ethics. Please change your way people, or in the near future you will not find any good person respecting you if you yourself always take things for granted and take advantage of other people's honesty in helping you out. 

Ok, basicly there's a few more photos of my Keith project that i'll be posting later on, so stay tuned! In the meantime, i'll be posting some of the car photos that i've edited from various photographers that I'm working with in get@car magazine and some samples of my design works. Later!

Numero Uno


This is one of  my earliest project series with my photography studio -shahzeeqrafil- with the help of my partner/photographer, shahzeeq. Not to forget my thanks to the model, Keith and makeup artist, E'en. This photo was taken near my studio, since it's so hot and sunny in the afternoon..me and shahzeeq decided to shoot this photo at some random bush around our parking lot with no studio lights at all. After a full night editing the raw photo, i'm pleased with the end result ;) Enjoy!

Mainly what you'll be seeing here is a dose of my main passion of art, commercial photography and digital editing (and other types of photography too), and a slice of what's happening around me. So friends, i hope you'll support me in what i do and i hope you'll enjoy browsing my so-called 'portfolio blog'. Later!
