Naufragee (Shipwreck)

Editorial spread for Issue 12 of FAUVE Magazine

No idea what possessed me to try and "flood" an entire room, probably because of the challenge involved, I find it hard to appreciate my works unless it took a great deal of difficulty to create. This series took me an entire month of post production! But for what it's worth, I believe I've just shot one of my favourite editorial so far.

Summer!

So I've stopped this lifestyle of traveling back and forth Singapore and Bali. It was all fun but i'm missing my hubby and baby in Bali. Also it would be pretty depressing to spend summer in a dreary city (no offense Singapore)

Here's some abstract-summery-cheesy-beachy art to set the mood!

Happy summer peeps!

Here's a quick little shoot I did for FAUVE Magazine's anniversary issue. The entire shoot took around 1-2 hours. No struggle's here Fauve's direction is almost always fast-moving and straightforward ;)

....and here's the "uncut" version incase anyone's curious

Marho AW2013

Lookbook photoshoot for Mahro's Fall/Winter 2013 collection.

I forgot to upload these series! Shot them a while back, and like most shoots, I had plenty of fun with it! :) The concept was pretty clear from the beginning and the team was pretty solid, so everything went smooth-sailing, we even had plenty of time to squeeze in some spontaneous ideas.

All pics are uploaded in the official webby site! check em out  http://marho.com.au/

DISSECT

Inspired by Alberto Seveso. Been trying to figure out how he does his photoshop collages for ages... Now that I sorta figured it out I can move on to other things

Futuristic Fantasia

Some where in between my travels, I'd take up random collaborations with old friends and colleagues. In this case, it was a digital manipulation spread for May issue Men's Folio Magazine Singapore.

The brief was my favourite so far: "make it a crazy colour explosion! It doesn't matter if it's bad or good, as long as the person turning the pages will stop and react to it."

So I worked on majority of the spread during a 5 hours transit in Surabaya airport, only to be briefly interrupted by a power failure... yes in an airport.
