This is by far the heaviest post because I can’t decide which pictures to leave out. I’ve try to include at least one shot of everyone. Jayden has more coverage shot of the day over at his blog. It has been a good year, if not a great 2008. 2009 is creeping in every so close. Wishing everyone a safe and wonderful new year!

More than just Education…

Posted in photography by mikb on December 27, 2008

School is much more than just education. It’s also a place where new friendship are made or break, possibly the development of a romantic chemistry, great ideas being shared and many others more…

With the shooting of “Chloe”, I have the chance of stepping back into a school. Although CCMS is not the school I graduated from, it does bring back a lot of good n bad memories (brunei schools are not that far off).

Shahbandar : A great place to shoot

Posted in fun, photography by mikb on December 18, 2008

Bukit Shahbandar (bukit means hill in English) is part of Brunei’s reserve rain forest. Bukit Shahbandar or simply Shahbandar to most Bruneians is a popular place for hikes. Other than hiking/walking, it is a great place to bring the children for some outdoor activities. I have recently discovered that it is also a fantastic place to shoot. (am I like the last person to know about this! Duh!)

Thanks to Joyce who sorta organized this (photoshoot), I have fun working, or rather shooting a bunch of children. I am quite pleased with the results, considering it’s only a kit lens (18-55mm) with my D40x. Hope you like it too!

I don’t know anyone who actually want to have their wedding picture taken there, but why not?! At least it’s different. Photographers out there, yeah, you heard me, shoot your next clients’ wedding there (say I recommend it.. LOL)

Like what you see? Want your portrait taken? Call me… LOL!! Na, I am just kidding, don’t call me. ;)

“Chloe” : behind-the-scene

Posted in Chloe, photography by mikb on December 16, 2008

Before the camera starts rolling and the director says Action!, there are a lot of preparation works involved. One of them is the work of a make-up artist. Here are some of the behind-the-scene make-up sessions of Chloe’s third shoot.

1Summer working on Yaya before the shoot…

.

2pink.. red.. pink.. pink.. did I say pink?

.

3Princess Yaya : Am I beautiful?! (Love this!)

.

4Lorin decided to join in the “fun”

.

5Time for Sam to look “pretty” for the shoot…

.

6Sam : This is easy, I know! I know! ;)

.

There wasn’t any shoot last weekend and I am not sure when the next shoot is going to take place, check here for updates. This is for those “die-hard” chloe’s followers who can’t wait. ;)

“Chloe” : candid moments

Posted in Chloe, fun, photography by mikb on December 10, 2008

It is always easier to shoot people when they are unaware of your presence. Most of the time, you’ll end up getting really nice “natural” poses and smiles. On the set of the 3rd Chloe’s shoot, I managed to snap a few nice one and would like to share them with you…

Malcolm singing a love song to Jess..? (well, I guess you will have to wait for the movie to find out, sorry.. ) Once again, you can see Malcolm (Sam) is very expressive with his acting… ;)

.

2Malcolm : Yes, I did it!

.

3Jess : My goodness… you are overdoing it Malcolm… XD

.

4Even Lorin and Sheau Hui are laughing at Malcolm (Sam) LOL x LOL

.

5Chris showing Sheau Hui, Ze Wah & Lorin how it’s done (how to be a “bad” good student?!)

.

6A happy Malcolm (Sam)? (Dunno bout’ you but I absolutely love this shot!)

.

7Chris… are you playing “hide-n-seek”? haha… or more like “没眼看” (no eye see)

.

8Lorin trying to hug someone but ended up hugging something

.

9

Chris offering Lorin a shoulder to cry on..? ;)

.

I was not shooting in the afternoon so I do not have anything of the afternoon group (sorry!) but you can always head over to Jayden’s Blog for some great coverage shots. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do… cheers!

Note: If I type your name wrong or you found any mistakes in the post, please feel free to “bug” me with it! ;)
