nightfall














Nightfall, that's when most retreat to the comfort of their homes, to rest and recharge. Not Carol & Gabriel, whom brave the unknown elements and have the desire to do something different.
The toughest battle was trying to organize the collective thoughts of the couple whom needed me to prompt them a little to open up their doors. Once I gotten a gust of their minds, I tried hard to put together a battle plan for their shoot. Logistics was tough as we were facing the build up from the F1 tracks and roadblocks prevented us from traveling by car. Hotels were unhelpful in some sense as many locations forbids us to use their grounds.  Coupled with the extra equipment that night requires, its was a challenge for us, creatively, as well as managing expectations. Kudos to everyone that night, magic was form! Thanks for Gabriel for putting his 100% for the shoot, his brother for the help, Carol for her steely determination and of cos Simon for the support and logistics. I could have pull it off so smoothly and with great calibration. Enjoy our coverage!

Would like to share my appreciation to Gilbert and Simon for taking the effort to go crazy with us till 2am plus.. It was not an easy task set for you guys plus having to be kept awake beyond sleeping hours too.. Thank you for your patience and endurance!

Can literally feel the effort made by you guys.. I fully understand that doing a Night Scene is never easy and you did it!! Still remember the little adrenalin rush photo session that we had from Esplanade Station to Promenade Station, funny and cute, i would say..

Gilbert is one who held firm to his stand and is really passionate about photography. He takes pride in all that he does and give his 101% effort in making things right.

Really appreciate your effort and thank you! It was truely a memorable night for me..

Carol and Grabriel, congrats and wish you a blissful marriage like the photos :)

I like the effects of the photos even though using places that we normally do not even look at twice. I see very modern touch and yet blissfully taken.

Great job by the photography team!

cheers,
Joey
