So Space: shoot

1.7.14

Crazy ass shoot!!

It was 8 degrees, 8 a.m., on a winter morning.

Windy too, if you didn't know Wellington's insane wind conditions.

This had to go down on the list of crazy stuff that I've done!

Jim from CarrollVisual Photography and I collaborated on these "Washed up on shore" themed photoshoot at Owhiro Bay. My makeup was done by Emma Sophia, she was amazing, doing my makeup at 7a.m. on a Saturday.

Being drenched in the wind and wearing a wet shirt sticking to my body was a real challenge, but I was determined to keep a straight face until we wrapped it up. Jim was quick and planned his photo taking wisely, Doug was there giving me moral support and helping out despite the cold weather and I had desperately tried to keep a straight face.

These are what we came up with.

Jim has some arse kicking skills at capturing the waves and colour scheme. The photo is not even really photoshopped. I was quite pleased when I got his email of the pictures!

Owhiro Bay would look very pretty in summer.

I love upside down shots. They're my favourite.

After this shoot, I threw this damned shirt away. It was one of the most annoying pieces of clothing I owned because the bottom had strings attached to it and it looked unbalanced all the time. I got it from Asian Avenue 4 years ago, one random day at Sunway Pyramid for RM25, so you can imagine the quality. Lol

My nailpolish is courtesy of Yuan, who has extremely good taste. I love the colour against my skin, it stands out nicely. Gonna buy this exact colour next time.

Achieving this sort of pained look in this shot - pretty much depicts how I felt while shooting. Haha! I had to say, it was quite fun!

Arthur's Day at Sid's Pub

Okay!

After being MIA (missing in action) for the past two weeks it is time for some catching up!

It was the pre-celebration of Guinness Arthur's Day two Sundays ago, at Sid's Pub at TTDI. So, obviously, there was alot of Guinness Stout going around and happy Guinness fans on that Sunday evening.

I've gone for the event with MHB Elaine. It was an outdoors party, thank goodness. Or else I would've felt so under dressed. Partly why I'm dressed like this was because I just got back from a video shoot done for 7Up Revive. More on that later, focus on Guinness first. Hehe.

It was quite a fun and chilled party as everyone was mingling, talking and enjoying their cold Guinness on a sunny Sunday evening. Oh yeah! I even got to draft my own Guinness and draw an "A" on top of the foam! Which.. eventually disappeared after a couple of minutes. Lol

Tim, Elaine and I were taught the right way to drink the stout. I had no idea there was a "right" way! So, you have to straighten your body, put your arm like such (in the pic) and BRING YOUR GUINNESS TO YOU and not bend your body towards your Guinness. By doing that, you get to taste the stout better. :) Try it next time!
