Pink Acid photoshoot : the making

As promised, here are some of the 'behind the scene' photos during Pink Acid's first promo photoshoot session. Again, thank you Mr. Ali (first picture from top) and his housemates for their kind help. Enjoy the photos and have a great weekend ppl!

Awal Ashaari & Dynas Mokhtar (view LARGE)

My dream has come true. Finally, a fashion photoshoot of my own! To my clients Awal Ashaari & Dynas Mokhtar, thanks a million for the opportunity and sorry for the errors that we've encountered while executing this project since i'm a newbie. Not putting high hopes on this but i hope they're satisfied with my work. Tonnes of photos coming soon since it's a full day all out photoshoot. Till then.

begpecker-ing (destination : Krabi Thailand)

I really need a retreat holiday to freshen up before starting this year's journey. Krabi's a good start for me and my friends. Free our minds, leaving all the stress back in Malaysia and hopefully inspire us to start something cool, business sense or whatever we can think of as soon we get back from our trip. See you in a week!

Pink Acid promo photoshoot : 1st session

Here's the first half of the Pink Acid's promo photoshoot. We did the photoshoot near my house, starting around 2pm till 7.30pm. The original plan was to shoot at a hotel ballroom but unfortunately it's fully booked due to Christmas day celebration dinners etc. Our special thanks to Pink Acid for participating, Ali and friends for providing electricity from their house to power up our lights and Ash for being such a sport.

Will be posting photos of the photoshoot process and Ali & friends for the next post.

BMW X3

BMW X3 photography and editing by me, except for the top photo that was shot by jay ismail. Something rare because i know shit about photography, i'm more towards creating photoshoot concepts, directing and digital editing. I was bored one day at my previous office and decided to borrow the review car for a spin. Ended up taking several snaps and yeah, luck is on my side this time. The pictures turned out okay and i had fun editing them. Enjoy!

testing, testing.

MCFARLANE’S DRAGONS SERIES 8: THE RISE OF MAN - BERSERKER DRAGON CLAN

Finally!!! my dream collection of dragons! More to come booyah!!!

The Berserker Dragon Clan  is my favorite among the sets of four.Considering the color and the intrinsic detailing of the figure, this figure is a must have for those who like dragons. A 6-inch figure suspended in air and is articulated at the neck and shoulders.

friends support friends: OSIXNINE

Me and my friends went to Ze's boutique for the year end sale and there are tonnes of cool things being sold there (not to forget the shouty funky interior). Ze took our photos and posted them in her blog together with our 'new year's resolution' which is quite funny because i didn't thought of what mine is. To know more about her cool boutique just browse here.

our work featured on RIZALMAN's blog!

PHOTOCREATIVE's One Nation Emcees that was featured in Rizalman's blog

I was browsing google recently to see PHOTOCREATIVE's exposure and i stumbled to Rizalman's (he's one of the top fashion designer in Malaysia) blog who featured one of his creations, a photo of Gangstarz's One Nation Emcees taken by us. I consider that as a huge achievement and that makes me want to work harder to create a bigger impact next year (tomorrow). I don't think Rizalman knows us but if you happen to read this post, i hope that one day we could work together with more of your great collections.

backpacking

Me and my friends are starting a new hobby, backpacking. At one point we're so bored and fed up with our boring daily activities, we decided to travel outside of Malaysia for a change. Hopefully the upcoming trips will help us to release our stress we'll be leaving back home  in Malaysia and do new cool things, meet new people and if we're lucky enough...it would be great if we could find a career outside of Malaysia. I do love Malaysia but honestly, it doesn't do much justice to me and what i could offer to the local market. I'll be posting photos of our trips starting from Krabi, thailand that we'll be visiting next month. Maybe u guys should give travelling a shot, i'm sure it's worth every penny.

Julian Pink Acid

Me and Shahzeeq had a test shot with Julian at our Apartment's balcony few weeks back. Had enough of backdrops, here comes outdoor shooting! The next project will be a shoot with the whole band. Stay tuned!

get@car magazine layout sample design/photo editing

This is a compilation of a tripple car feature in get@car magazine. Too bad i had to stay at the office finishing the magazine's layout design while the others are joy-riding these cool-ass machines. Enjoy my work!

my 24th magazine cover

Malaysian motoring magazine's production is not as easy as in the UK or anywhere outside. Low budgets, tough advertisement business and many more. Almost all the magazine covers that i've done will go through a rough editing session, knowing that the photos were shot in parking lots or by the roadside...no comfy big ass production photography studio. Here's the latest magazine cover that i did a few weeks back. The main challenge and worries of our company is that no offense, it's a Hyundai car. Normally i'll deal with BMW's, Ferrari's or any other high range cars that will make my work beautifying the magazine covers easy. Thank god it looked good in the end, or atleast my boss was pleased with it. Will post more magazine cover design soon. I miss shooting my private project, It's been a while since Keith's project.
