I’ve attended a photoshoot on 4th July 2009 with 3 young models. Normally a photoshoot will consist of a ratio of 4-7 photographers to a model. In this shoot, there are 3 models and the number of photographers is 14-15. Each photoshoot varies in prices which are depended on the experience of the model the cost of the themes(casual, bikini, wedding, etc). Today’s theme is casual.
Photographers can just use a simple camera, add flash or even bring their own light stand.

The location of the shoot is around Clark Quay and backalley seems to be a favorite location for this place.
Each person will take turn to shoot.
An experience model is more easy to shoot as they will automatically change to different poses.
Sometimes, additional subject to the scene may or may not create better pictures
Some of my shots taken at the backalley.
I created a sepia effects on the background as the backalley have too many distracting objects.

I went to take a look at the NDP preview at marina south area on Sat. It is still quite early stage of the rehearsal. But as usual, there is a small crowd sitting out side the Esplanage to catch the early action there.
