Red Ninja Camp

April 26, 2010

I’m back from boot camp! Haha…it really feels weird calling it boot camp but in a way it’s somehow like that. I would say it was really fun and I had a good time there, though I had to stay up late abit to do some editing.

If you were following me on twitter, a month or two back then I said I was running dry on my shots and pretty much not feeling the mojo being there anymore. I guess god has his eyes on me…Redninja.tv brought down Wiki Lee who’s also the founder of Foto Expression. Somehow during camp my mojo came back and my mind has been refreshed once again.

Camp wasn’t all talk and no action, we were given individual task and also group task. The individual task was more like a pre-wedding shoot with an actual couple. I got to work with Rachel and Ser Young which were awesome and cool to work with. Here are the 5 pictures that we were required to submit.

The group project was to come up with a slide show that would show the personality of our group members and this is what we came up with. Out of our expectation we actually manage to get first place. I bet the judges had a hard time figuring out which would they picked as the other groups work were awesome as well.

group members were : Andrew Chow, Teng Wei, Jonathan Tan and ofcourse yours truely Benjamin Lim. All shots were an equal contribution of all members.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jon Low from Jon Low Studios for his mentoring and guidance. Not to forget Wiki himself and his wife Ilona for their superb personal attention.

Lastly all the beautiful pictures wouldn’t be anything if it wasn’t for the marlevous bride and groom, Rachel and Ser Young. Thank you so much for being our models and being commanded by us..haha. Thank you as well Shinny Ong for your awesome skills in make up and hair making the bride and groom look their best. Lastly to Pretty in White for the wonderful looking dresses.

HAIIIYAK~!

Charge Up 2010

January 17, 2010

Over the week I signed up for a photography conference called Charge Up, organize by live wire media. It’s a 4 day conference but due to some unforeseen issues I only manage to attend the 2 days, the 3rd day we were given as task/project and would work in a group to come up with a montage for certain NGO/Ministry. Sadly I wasn’t able to join the rest of my new friends there and since I was home all night, I decided to make this lil montage. Please don’t take this montage seriously as it’s meant to be a joke. :P Just to have some fun…since I missed the event.
Enjoy the montage yea!
