Private Session: Finalists Of Borneo Motorsport Race Queen Search 2010

I had a rare opportunity to have a portrait session with the finalist of the Borneo Motorsport Race Queen Search together with my fellow FOPians, Kelvin Casey Chin & Manchew. The shoot was held at one of the hottest club in KK at the moment, Firefly KK Times Square.

The difficulties i faced during the actual shoot was the place didn't had any decent light around it. To add salt to the wound, the shot was held on a Saturday night. I guess you pretty much can imagine how was the situation at that time, lots of people walking around the set. As you will see the picture later, me & the rest had to resort to 'strobing' the models to get a decent pictures. Luckily pretty much like the pictures that we got from that night. So does the organizers of the event. Phewwww!

Here you few of my favorite pictures from the night.

Group shots of the rest of the finalist. Used 2 flash on both sides for this shot.

Wedding & Engagement Day Coverage Promo

Kotobian Tadau Tagazo Do Kaamatan(which means Happy Harvest Festival in Kaadazan). I know its already June but who cares. Still recovering from tons of litters of you what. It's drinking season(for some of us) here in KK. So this is the only time that you get to use your birth rights (as a kadazan/dusun/murut) as an excuse to drink like there is no tomorrow. But sadly, i had attend to few official matters during the 2 day holiday. Oh well, maybe during Xmas. That is like 6 months from now. *Sigh*

During this time, you may hear wedding bells ringing every time you pass by a church, or see a car nicely decorated for a wedding on the road. Or even hearing some couple getting engaged somewhere. It's because the wedding season starts to kick. For limited time only, im offering wedding day coverage service for as low as RM850.00 & Engagement Day service starting at Rm650.00. Promotion period: untill September 2010.

'BELUKAR' Gala Night Premier

Few days ago i attended the charity gala premier 'Belukar' @ GSC 1Borneo. It's a indie film telling a story about a female con artist who falls in love with a investigator of an insurance company, who is hot in his trail catching her red handed. Kota Kinabalu & duty free island of Labuan was picked as the main location for the movie. The star studded cast includes of our very own Daphne Iking, Bront Palarae, Azhar Sulaiman, Danny X-Factor, Sabrina Hassan, Ray Redzuan, Sharmila Dedy Borhan and Ekin & Yassir of Akademi Fantasia. FYI, the last four names are Sabahans.

The movie is directed by actor turned director Jason Chong, who shot the entire film in digital format. Jason did a indie good job by bringing in local indie band such as Love as Arson & Gerhana Ska Cinta for the movie OST. This movie has little bit of everything to it. It has it's thriller elements, the love story, and also has its comedic side. Pretty much a good movie (considering it being an indie film) but still there is still a lot to be done from my point of view. But still i give it a thumbs up!

Here you are, pictures from the nite.

Borneo Motorsport Queen Search 2010

What happens when you mix pretty girls standing beside a fully mod Impreza or a Fairlady? Craziness, am i right? Yeah, that's what i got when i covered the 'Borneo Motorsport Queen Search event together with my wingman, Casey. A beauty pageant with cars. Organized by Kinabalu Sports Car Owner (KSOC) @ 1Borneo Hypermall. What could be better than watching pretty girls standing next to a Impreza or a Fairlady? No words could describe it.

Cars that was on display was the legendary Nissan Skyline R34, Subaru Impreza, the new Nissan Fairlady (and yes, the ones used in Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift). But the sad part was couldn't manage snap some decent profile close up shots of the cars due to the way the car was parked and there this silly 'barricade' place around the cars. Oh heck, there are still pretty girls to snap. So here you are, pictures from the event.

Maybank Charity Drive: SK Don Bosco, Ranau

I had the opportunity to cover Maybank's Charity Drive to SK Don Bosco. Situated in the heart of Bundu Tuhan, Ranau where the climate was pretty much, COOL. This was my second trip up there i was pretty much excited because this time around i had my camera with me. Im a bit unclear of the history of the school, but as far as i know it's a refuge for the children staying there. Some of them are orphan. The kids there were treated with fun games & KFC meals. Other than that important necessity like food & clothes were also given to them courtesy of staff & management of Maybank.

Here you go picture from the trip.
