This weekend I had my first maternity shot with a wonderful couple - Violet and Jonathan. I was first contacted by Jonathan on the facebook, where he saw my looking for a couple to do some gear tests. After knowing that he is also an avid photographer planning to do wedding & portrait jobs in the future, I think it would be cool to do this shot as he wouldn't bother to try some of my ideas and concepts. Only a photographer can feel what a photographer really desired for. We first got a couple of normal portrait shots at the garden of historical Ten Boreck Mansion, which unfortunately was not open to public today. Then we moved to Washington Park, when it suddenly began to rain heavily. I was always thinking to do some really romantic and stunning shots in the rain, but again before I finally nailed down my ideal location to do those shots, the rain stopped!!! I believe that is the frustration any on-location photographer had to face, and trying to figure out what moves next and shoot at any lighting and environmental condition is a must ability I have to obtain through hundreds of photography jobs.
Again, special thanks to my new temporary lighting assistant, Kevin Chen to help me sculpt my subject by the use of artificial lighting equipment, and I wish Violet and Jonathan, as well as any of my faithful blog stalkers would love this set too. Enjoy ~~~
