These are the actual day wedding photographs that I took for a good friend Don. ...I feel really honored that he gave me the chance to be his official wedding photographer for his big day!

This is the concept shoot that was done for Glynis to take part in the "Be Inspired, Japan" Contest. Please help to vote so she can win and I get the credit hahaha... She chose another picture out of the lot for the contest.

Go to this link and search for contestant : Glynis

For this shoot, I met up with Glynis for shopping at Chinatown. This looks like she is wearing a kimono does it not? Nope, she was wearing a pyjamas and some scraps of cloth that we put together so that we could pull of the kimono feel. LOL.

For this shoot, I chose yellow and shocking pink as the makeup colours. Chose the fake lashes that were longer at the ends. Have to say we took reference on a couple of pictures we found on the internet when we were conceptualizing this. We had a lot of fun when we were preparing the shoot. I love how porcelain her skin was and it gave me a lesser issue with achieving the look. We hunted for white powder to put on her, a wig to help heighten the bun on her head. Found a great shop that sold beautiful embroidered fabric. The pyjamas that looked a little like kimono was about 15 SGD. LOL.

For the shoot I used two speedlites , 1 behind to light up the umbrella, 1 on the centre left front and one continuos light on her right slightly front.

Used my Nikkor 35mm F1.8 on my Nikon D90 to get this shot. Love the catchlight in her eyes. And her wonderful expression. Overall, I had great fun and totally enjoyed this.

Please support us by going to the link above and vote for Glynis!

Thanks for reading!

Love,
Ting

I have been avoiding bridal for the longest time. Maybe for the fact that I have a sad past. It is not easy to have to watch couples going down the red carpet. Especially when it has been something that I had experienced before and that my marriage did fail. But I guess, since it is where the main source of income comes from for many professional photographers, it is something that I do have to face up with in a matter of time. I hope I will be able to bring to you more of some bridal shoots that I should be engaging myself in for my near future.

This is Glynis, former Mrs Singapore International. I really adore her for her patience and gift for posing with beautiful variety of expressions that I can churn out of her. I guess instead of expecting the model to be able to do everything you want from her, it takes an interactive and communicable photographer to speak to her and describe what she should be feeling in order to get what expression you want from her. It was more effective that I could demonstrate to her being quite a model myself! LOL. She is really easy to work with, being v amicable and lovely and not afraid of hardship during the shoot. It could get really hot and sweaty in the tropical climate of Singapore.

I used green and turquoise eye shadows to brighten up her eyes. And this beautiful eye lash that i bought at far east plaza! She has really pretty lips and a set of gorgeous teeth! As an image consultant cum photographer, I swear that teeth is seriously one of the most important things that a girl should never neglect to maintain and beautify!

I did some research on the internet and discovered this place in Singapore that I had never set foot in since i started shooting. I was thinking of the concept of this shoot and realized that horses, barns and fields could easily create an out of Singapore feel that I want. Thus I decided that we must make this trip to Bukit Timah Saddle Club!

For this shot, we found this restaurant that was under renovation and walked in with a huge pleasant surprise that they had these gorgeous antique looking furniture and decorations. It was v stuffy and all but Glynis toughed it through and gave me many gorgeous shots! I am really proud of her! I shot this on high ISO about 2500 with my D700 using my Nikkor F1.4 24mm. I am pleased with the little noise level I faced. i have been experimenting with a little selective colour and faded skin tones for my photo processing to achieve a different type of nostalgic feel as opposed to the cross processing type. I achieved this result which I was the most pleased with among the other versions cause it gave me a little cinematic feel and suited the porcelain skin concept I had in mind.

More pictures of this shoot can be found at www.facebook.com/anictayproduction



I hope my first approach in writing some details of my shoot gives some insights on the stuff i do. Hopefully as I write along, I get more readers! I am awfully busy these days and hardly have time. Hope I will meet another shoot which I will have the mood to write then I will give another write up about that!

Thanks for supporting my blog!

Love,
Ting

COLOUR PARTY PROMO VIDEO - Flickr version

COLOUR PARTY PROMO VIDEO, originally uploaded by Ting 婷.

Halo my friends! I have been very busy with the contest I am holding at facebook.com/anictayproduction.

Share with all my flickr friends the fruit of my work. The contest will commence vote on 1st July 2011. Contest pictures will be uploaded into the album Colour Party. Please show these girls and me your support by going there to vote for your fav picture!

These are "REAL" women and none are professional models nor actresses. Some are already mothers and some are professionals who excels in their individual work industry. The age range of this competition was not limited so we have a baby in the group!

The girls were provided with the makeup and hairstyling. They were told that they will be shot infront of just a white or black backdrop. The theme was colour and they supposed to come out with their own concept and props to match their theme. I am proud of all the girls for their hardwork. There was a girl who tailored her own costume, a girl who went shopping overseas, some powder sprayed their props and shoes and some brought outstanding backdrop decorations to liven up their pictures. I am very happy for their enthusiastic participation and I am very touched with their undying support for my productions.

Thank u all!

开始懂了
我竟然没有调头
最残忍那一刻
静静看你走
一点都不像我
原来人会变得温柔
是透澈的懂了
爱情是流动的
不由人的
何必激动着要理由
相信你只是怕伤害我
不是骗我
很爱过谁会舍得
把我的梦摇醒了
宣布幸福不会来了
用心酸微笑去原谅了
也翻越了
有昨天还是好的
但明天是自己的
开始懂了
快乐是选择

何日君再来

何日君再来, originally uploaded by Ting 婷.

Went to the train station to shoot this scene. It was raining..... A very nice mood to test out my brand new Nikkor 24mm f1.4.

何日君再来

好花不常开
好景不常在
愁堆解笑眉
泪洒相思带

今宵离别后
何日君再来
喝完了这杯
请进点小菜
人生能得几回醉
不欢更何待

[白] 来, 喝完这杯再说吧!

今宵离别后
何日君再来

停唱阳关叠
重擎白玉杯
殷勤频致语
牢牢抚君怀

今宵离别后
何日君再来
喝完了这杯
请进点小菜
人生能得几回醉
不欢更何待

[白] 哎! 再喝一杯,干了吧!

今宵离别后
何日君再来

The most beautiful of flowers seldom bloom
The most alluring of landscapes are rare to come by
A tender smile by the throes of sorrow embittered
Tears speak of a torturous yearning

After we part tonight,
When will you come once again?
After we've finished the wine
Bring for us something to eat
How seldom it is for us to delight in such inebriation
But who knows when we might chance upon it again

(Spoken) Come, let us converse after the wine is finished

After we part tonight,
When will you come once again?

Drown our sorrows at this very moment*
As we raise our libations in cups of white jade
These words of parting offer us some comfort
Though the sentiments rest heavily upon our hearts

After we part tonight,
When will you come once again?
After we've finished the wine
Bring for us something to eat
How seldom it is for us to delight in such inebriation
But who knows when we might chance upon it again

(Spoken) Ah, let us toast once more

After we part tonight,
When will you come once again?

Booking with me will mean :
1) You accept that photos of yourself will be posted online
2) You automatically consent to be entered into the contest.
3) You also agreed that I, (A Nictay Production / Niko Tay / Ting) will hold full rights of the photos that are taken and to use for other marketing purposes or printing.

PM me now to get more ideas on the theme. Promo/contest might go firmly ahead or not will depend on the final response I get (at least 20 participants with confirmed photoshoot dates). If quota is not met by 15th of April, I reserve the right to call off the promotion and refunds will be given in accordance. Competition is subjected to its terms and condition. If response is good, photoshoot date bookings might be extended.

This is really informal and by signing up for the promo/contest, you promise you will not sue me...... and if there is anything unhappy (bound to have when it involves a lot of participants) .... let's iron things out nicely.

The Theme
------------

The theme this time round is Colours! You can choose 1 outfit color to reserve first when sign up. Then U can choose between black or white background. Maximum 2 different person can choose the same outfit colour because one will be photoshooting with black backdrop and the other will be the white backdrop. Your outfits (Heads to toes) have to shout the colour you have chosen. Floral and prints on the outfit is discouraged but I can accept if it is within minimum percentage.

See my FB colour chart for available colours which I will update whenever I have new sign ups. Please make sure ur outfit colour is as close to the colour you have chosen to reserve as possible. I would prefer that you choose a colour not similar to what is already taken to make yourself look more unique.

Tips / Rules and Regulations
----------------------------

Everyone is competing on equal grounds. Basic black and white backdrop.

I re-emphasize that your outfits (Heads to toes) have to shout the colour you have chosen. Floral and prints on the outfit is discouraged but I can accept if it is within minimum percentage.

Of course the more effort you put in to match all your outfits with props n shoes n hats n scarves.. The higher chance you get picked for appearing in my book and perhaps getting more votes. The theme is on colour, so you can dress as anything under the sun you can think of. Be a vampire, a cheong sam beauty, a sporty chick, a gothic sexy kitten, a cosmo girl, or simply YOURSELF. Anything. NO HARD AND FAST RULES.

special tips: Remember to bring dramatic eye lashes/falsies for those who are going for high glam ! For best effects, if you are short sighted, do bring the matching colour contact lenses.

Much as we want to hold up the rules of the game, participants are requested for their generosity and understanding when it comes to how accurate the colours turn out. Of course I will not allow absolute difference but I would expect some participants wearing outfits with colours having a bit of colour difference from their reserved colours. After all, different people have different perspective of colours. Let's just have fun! Thanks in advance for your love and understanding!

Photo-Shoot Dates...
---------------------

I am targeting to start Shoot by Mid April and complete the photo-shoots by end May subjected to response and work load. I will stop the enrollment by end of April 2011 but subjected to change. You may start putting in your dates after you have made the deposit.

Let the party begin!
--------------------

Girls whom have signed up. This is the time you girls write to me and get my bank details to firm your dates and colours. Please stick to your appointment and outfit colour unless special cases negotiated by myself.

Payment and Photoshoot Date Booking Confirmation

Rain... Falling in my heart

Rain... Falling in my heart, originally uploaded by Ting 婷.

我懷念有一年的夏天　一場大雨把你留在我身邊
我看著你那被淋濕的臉　還有一片樹葉貼在頭髮上面

那時我們被困在路邊　世界不過是一個小小屋簷
你說如果雨一直下到明天　我們就廝守到永遠

Rain falling in my heart 你的聲音仍然深印我心田
世界改變　你也改變我在海角天邊

Rain falling in my heart 你的諾言雖然沒有實現
愛是雨點　落在昨天永不放晴的纏綿

....................................................................................

My heart is raining for the people who are suffering from the Japan earthquake n Tsunami. To the victims... R.I.P.

For those wonderful friends who have been following my stream because of my oriental feel art, I know it has been a long time since I did something like this. I realised how much I missed this, and have not had the chance since I started doing a lot of portraits in the recent months.

A Love Like Ours....

A Love Like Ours...., originally uploaded by Ting 婷.

Does He Love You

I found this article in the internet by Andre Cross and I find it very true... He wrote this pointing at men but i guess the logic can be applied to both girls and guys...

After reading this, I hope all men or women, depending on their roles, should be kind enough to think about this and not be selfish to the other party by staying in a relationship just because they need a companion.

The article:

"The subject really began to intrigue me when a person I recently met confided in me that a relationship he was involved with for six years was little more than a bad habit; an empty shell of what was once a great relationship. When I asked him why he was still with her, all I got was a shrug of the shoulders and a futile attempt at explaining (more like justifying) his decision. Why stay with her? Because it was good enough.

There are plenty of couples that love each other; it's a normal, natural emotion that exists when one spends a considerable amount of time with another. But time makes us love someone; being in love is a whole other story. You can love your sister, your mother, your brother, your friends (though you'll never admit to that one unless you're under the influence), but you can only be in love with a woman that sets your heart on fire.

Thus began a soul searching journey into the subject of love, and why men in general have given up on finding real love.

When did we stop believing in love? Actually, a better question is when did the word love carry the same connotation as fantasy and fairytale? And when I mean love, I'm talking about real love, the kind of love you'd give up your soul -- and your left arm for.

Have we become so shallow and jaded as a society that we instantly dismiss the notion of falling in love as a story from our grandparents' time? "

"We are not born bitter; we become bitter, more likely after a sour relationship that left us with a bad taste in our mouths. We were all optimists once, believing that we only date women we are in love with, but we quickly came to terms with reality. If the love you had has become a fleeting emotion, it was never really love to begin with. And what happens?

We stop believing it ever really existed.

End result? We stay in relationships that can be summed up as good enough, meaning it has enough elements that justify continuing the relationship despite the fact that we don't have a glitter in our eyes when we talk about her, and our heart doesn't skip a beat when we receive a call from her. Basically, we stay in relationships for too long, even though there isn't an iota of passion between us. Are we so afraid of being alone that we would sacrifice something that would obviously make us happy, for a person we merely get along with? "

"Passion. Isn't that a word in the dictionary? Doesn't it mean: a powerful emotion, such as love, joy, hatred, or anger? Isn't it something that refers to what Romeo and Juliet once had? How many of us have ever felt it? Not many.

Remember, I am talking about passion, not lust.

Passion expresses itself in the weirdest of ways, but it can be summarized like this: if you tremble when you are close to her, then you are feeling the effects of passion (unless you are just an incredibly shy guy). If you get into a fight, say the cruelest things in the world, and end up sharing a kiss that could make the world stop, then passion is there.

If your goodbye kisses are but simple pecks on the cheek or lips, devoid of any emotion, then your relationship has no passion. If you can sleep well at night, despite having a major fight with your significant other, then passion is non-existent.

Unfortunately boys, this isn't something we can pick up at the nearest grocery store; it's either there or it's not. And since so few of us have never experienced passion, we don't believe it exists.

People who are passionate love hard, hate hard, and have a joy for living others can only envy. "

"You can't go around looking for love, it just happens the same way you reach puberty: unexpectedly and painfully. Almost everyone who has fallen in love (again, I'm referring to the I'd give up my right kidney kind of love) has said it came out of the blue, having caught them off guard. You can find it today, or you could have missed it yesterday, forever.

Everyone falls in love at least once in their lives; before they become bitter, divorced, and join support groups. Too often, it happens when they are too young to realize its grace and beauty, and before they become suspicious of anything too good to be true. "

"So how do you know that Cupid was up to his old tricks again? You feel pangs of pain when you're not close to her. Your heart beats quickly all day, and you find every excuse in the world to blow off your buddies and see her. The longing to be with her is almost like a drug. This is where you start doodling her name everywhere. Your head used to be planted firmly on your shoulders. But suddenly, everything else becomes secondary to her, and you start doing crazy things you never thought you would ever do. You start thinking about her not every 5 seconds, but every 2.7 seconds. The other 2.3 seconds are spent on sports, food and sex (with her, of course). "

Written by Andre Cross (I just shared a part of his article)

My thoughts after reading this:

The heart of ur partner is alert, when your true heart is missing, your partner will feel the emptiness and the heart bleeds in the middle of the night when you are soundly asleep. Your heart can never tell lie. By staying with a person you have no passion for, it is cruelty, not love.

記得, originally uploaded by Ting 婷.

谁还记得 是谁先说永远的爱我
以前的一句话 是我们以后的伤口
过了太久 没人记得当初那些温柔
我和你手牵手 说要一起走到最后

我们都忘了 这条路走了多久
心中是清楚的 有一天 有一天都会停的
让时间说真话 虽然我也害怕
在天黑了以后 我们都不知道会不会有遗憾

谁还记得 是谁先说永远的爱我
以前的一句话 是我们以后的伤口
过了太久 没人记得当初那些温柔
我和你手牵手 说要一起走到最后

我们都累了 却没办法往回走
两颗心都迷惑 怎么说 怎么说都没有救
亲爱的为什么 也许你也不懂
两个相爱的人 等对方先说找分开的理由

谁还记得爱情开始变化的时候
我和你的眼中 看见了不同的天空
走的太远 终于走到分岔路的路口
是不是你和我 要有两个相反的梦

谁还记得 是谁先说永远的爱我
以前的一句话 是我们以后的伤口
过了太久 没人记得当初那些温柔
我和你手牵手 说要一起走到最后
我和你手牵手 说要一起走到最后
