A change from the normal to a more unnatural and abnormal stance. For this model, I am trying to break from conventional male poses and form.

Testimonial: Celestina Tiew
It was a wonderful experience working with Samuel Tan . I felt comfortable working with him even though it was the first time i met him. It was more than a shoot as after the shoot, he brought me and my friend around Kuala Lumpur , and accompanied us throughout the day … A very helpful and great photographer to work with!?

Testing the 5D mark II in KLCC
Had an opportunity on my birthday to test out my new gear, the 5D mark II in Kuala Lumpur.
I think the KLCC shots has been overdone, but nonetheless it is still a very beautiful place.
This is taken from Trader hotel window. Yes, this is the view from the room. On that night, I also tried out some auto bracketing functions in the 5dm2 but this came out as my favorite as it is almost SOOC. I did a minor tone adjustment, saturation, resize and adding a watermark using photoshop.
Shot with the new 5D mark II with 24-105L IS USM
Focal length – 28mm
Aperture – F/9
Shutter Speed – 10 seconds
ISO – 50
After putting it into test, I realize that it is far from what I’ve been using in the past, the Canon 450D. Even the controls are different, the AF speed is different, shutter sound. There is so much for me to get used to and I need to start adjusting myself to suit its tempo.

This photo below is taken the next morning. A day time photo. It’s non HDR, just a simple edit in photoshop.

Some of the winkles are ‘CREATED’ on purpose so that the lines are showing clearly and well defined.
