Not good enough to be photographed?

June 14th, 2012 | Portraits

We are not worth it. Not important enough to be pampered. Not beautiful enough to photographed. Not young enough to feel glamourous again. We beat up ourselves more often than we reward ourselves. Last week, we tried to change this. For 4 days, at Property Investment and Home Exhibition (PIHex) we photographed executive head shots for any corporate personalities who wanted to a professional image. Then exclusively for the ladies, we provided glamour photography inclusive of a makeover with hairdo and makeup. We had a team of extremely talented make-up artists, Renee, Audrey, Alice, Lily taking care of the makeover. Everything was FREE.

We applaud everyone who step into our booth. Such a brave thing to be given a makeover and photographed in front of so many people. Some of the ladies were literally shaking when they stood in front of the camera.

“My gosh! I have never been photographed professionally before. I don’t know how to pose or what to do.”

“My dear, let me take care of you,” I replied. Within a short time I have to work out the pose & lighting setup that works. Spent about 15-20 minutes with each person. Every shot I took came up immediate on a 27″ iMac. It’d better look good!

I am especially happy for the ladies who came forward. So many of them sacrificed for the family. Worked hard in the office. Worked even harder at home. For an hour, they were given star treatment with our makeover team and then on the set. Their faces glow when they see the pictures LIVE on our 27″ iMac screen. See the difference before AND after…

Everyone deserves to be pampered and photographed beautifully.

    fabulous photography skill, technology makes a lot of differences, with the supporting effects from the gorgeous make-up artists.

    Heya Louis!

    Great job and kudos on giving back to the mothers, sisters wives and daughters in and around us. We take them for granted. I too try to take pictures of people who think that they are not photogenic. The satisfaction I get from people like this looking at their portraits with a sense of happiness is more than any other type of shoot I do.
