WORDS  of  THE VISUALS

  • Dec 20, 2018

Okay, just before the year ends, I realised I haven’t posted some fo the the photos I used for my senior thesis project. (If you’re interested, head on HERE to see more of my project. I also wrote about it here hehe)

Also: Shout out to Jessa, Dianne, and Patrick again for making themselves available for me to pass uni and graduate huhuhu ❤


We didn’t use any studio lights (if that wasn’t already obvious). We taped up a big cloth to the wall outside by the garage lol. I was so pressed for time that I didn’t have time to make any formal set ups. The key was improvisation and winging it the best I could. lmao



Aside from the retro theme (which was the main theme and visual of my thesis), we also took some more photos with a different styling theme, which was mostly leaning towards…90’s kinda vibe? Idk hahahaha



Honestly, I realised I haven’t really been doing that much creative shit since I graduated unlike what I thought I would’ve. And that would’ve made me feel really guilty and sad if the events/circumstances in my life right now were different. But things has really taken to a….rather busy turn-over, that my call for a hiatus now really makes sense.


Hopefully next year I can start working on new things, finally. But it’s not like I’m not doing anything now. I have some stuff in processing at the moment, and also I’ll be posting one from my previous shoot with Chelsea. But that seems to wrap up my 2018.


Sigh. 2019, please be a creative explosion.

Just sharing some portraits I took of my Ate Theresa for her birthday last September 🙂


Funny story: There was supposed to be this surprise party for her, but one thing led to another and she ended up at our house instead. So now we had the task to get her to the venue without her getting suspicious.

The golden hour light was looking particularly golden that day so we decided to take advantage of it by doing a mini shoot just inside my bedroom. My sister also bought this new blush that she wanted to play around in, but the golden hour was stronger than her Golden cheek tint lol.


Here are some photos from my Pentax:

This one was around 5PM or so? And we didn’t even need to go out or anything—this was just shot inside my room with open curtains to get all the light possible, and literally just using my closet for the background! 🙂

If you have a very blank background and a relatively simple subject (in this case, my model’s just wearing a very simple top, and her hair/makeup isn’t really that “loud” detail-wise), it’s nice to use something as props just to add more dimension in the composition. If you’re shooting on a very limited space like this one, adding something for a foreground will add more dimension in the photo as well.


Here’s some from my DSLR too:*

Ok, that’s all I have for now hahahaha. Let me know if you have any golden hour photography tips/techniques that you use! I would love to learn how you do your own warm glow magic!💫

*Let me know if you guys want to get the Lightroom preset I used for this one! (Simulated the colours from the film hehehe)🌞
