my north cemetery shoot did not go as how i expected it to be. one of the model did not arrive who was suppose to wear the bride's maid dress- which i don't really care as i'm having trouble as to how i'm going to incorporate the bride's maid in the theme that i conceptualize. instead, i asked jona as an extra- supposed to wear casual wear. i have 4 looks on my head, audrey hepburn, morticia addams and two 19th century chick. more than anything, i am more excited about this concept than the marriage theme litratoz guild organize, as it is more restricting and the only variation that i can get is movement and facial expression.
argh! i was rooting for a high fashion editorial-ish...
but because of security constraints, we were compelled to shoot for only 2 hrs in n.cemetery, and as a result of it, the casual wear was put out of the scene and i cannot just enforce my own way as i am in a group.
another disappointment was the groom, he is too effeminate and something is quite wrong about his expression, like someone who is pissed off because of the impending marriage contrary to his preference, but still trying to keep a poker face. i wish i could have told him what was wrong, but then again, due to time contraints, the other 4 members shoot simultaneously as press my shutter. which leads me to the one-on-one shoot as planned... it never happen. again, due to constraints which is impossible given the time that we have. we also wasn't able to use the lightings because we don't have a lighting stand. the smoke machine which i'm most excited about was too lame, like someone just hitting a cigarette on the side of the model.
nonetheless, given all the rants, the experience was great. the members are very humble, which is re-assuring because there is no atmosphere intimidation. but the downside is, because most of us are newbies, this stopped us from making any comments for the betterment of the shoot. perhaps next time.
my shot's.
