Photoshoot with Yise Loo

Artist : Yise Loo (pronounced Luo Yi Shi) | 罗忆诗
Profession: Singer

I became aware of Yise a few years back when the radio aired her songs. Her voice really caught my attention as it was so fresh and energetic, it just felt there was something different about this singer. Fast forward a few years later, and I am working with her on a photoshoot for the magazine feature.

Yise is a witty, fun and talented artist. She was so natural with the camera that is was so easy and fun to work with her. We started the session slowly, but as the shooting went on, she became warmer and more natural. One of the best and most friendly artist I have worked with.

Originally hailed from Johor, Yise is now based mostly in PJ, with occasional trips to China to promote her album. She is trying to reach out to every corner of the world and I wish her all the best. Check her out yourself! She has a facebook fans club and blog.

TRUE BLUE MICHAELIANS
Location: St. Michael Institution, Ipoh

After the registration of marriage at Chin Woo, the couple and their best mates whisked away to St. Michael for the photoshoot. It was great being able to do the shooting at our school. Most of us spent a good part of our lives studying at this school; 12 years in total for me (kindergarten + primary + secondary level)

It was a shame most part of the school was locked. Still, it was great being back, using this magnificent building as the backdrop of our photoshoot.


We started out shooting inside the La Salle Centre, and found this nice turquoise wooden door. Brilliant colour!




This was selected to be used in the wedding card design.




At the school parlour with the statue Paterfamilias (Parents).


Upholding the great Michaelian Ethos!


The long corridor...It would have been better if the red fire emergency hose is not there.




Choon Foong was natural and Khee Fatt tried his best with about 20 people watching over them during the shoot. lolz.


The main building block as the backdrop.


The group photo of Khee Fatt and Choon Foong with all the "Heng Dai(s)" and "Ji Mui(s)"


Da' fun version.


This did not turn out as what I initially planned. But I still like how this turned out, the actions and looks on the dudes were great!


Another try, freezing the action!


Girls aloud! The bride with her "Ji Mui(s)"

We just couldn't leave without going for a final round at this water feature.


That's all folks! Thanks to Khee Fatt and Choon Foong, and the rest of the boys and girls, this turned out to be a very fun shooting session and gathering.

Khee Fatt & Choon Foong's ROM

TYING-THE-KNOT on A MASS 20092009 WEDDING
Location: Chin Woo, Ipoh

September 20th, looked like any other date on the calendar. But let's put it this way "20.09.2009" and you could see it's double 2009. It was also the 2nd day of 8th month in the Lunar Calendar. At the same time, the day also fell on the Hari Raya festival weekend. This couldn't be a more auspicious day to get married...

My long time friends, and housemates (one is permanent, the other occasional), Khee Fatt & Choon Foong chose this auspicious day to do their registration of marriage. Together with them, there were 48 other couples doing a mass wedding affair at the hall of Chin Woo, Ipoh. My first time witnessing a mass wedding and I must admit I was quite overwhelmed with the crowd and photographers and journalists from the local press covering the whole event.


Some early shots in the morning just after the make-up session. Looking good and ready to go.
Left: The bride with sister cum maid of honour; Right: The bride with William aka "the driver".


Here's the couple, before the mass registration begins.

Sista Love!


Getting in line and ready for the group shots. A total of 49 couples to be wed on that day.


There were really a lot of brides and grooms! Massive event!
