Eddy Family

A recent assignment for a colleague and also a close friend of mine. Eddy has been asking me to shoot for their family for quite some time, it was either my schedule was packed for the last quarter of the year or Eddy is not ready for the shoot, he wanted to look the best!

We've finally been able to pin down a date and I was told they have been eagerly preparing for the the big day to come, shopping for the family clothes and on diet to look better!

I did quite some googling for ideas and thinking of what would be a good theme for them. Really wish to able to capture some nice photos for their memory. Eddy has the intention to blow up some large photos to be hang on their hall.

We've decided on Haji lane and the Changi beach would be quite ideal locations for the shoot as this would be more lifestyle photos than studio shot. We are now preparing for the formal studio shoot to happen sometime later after the Chinese new year.

Warming up the family for the shoot wasn't too difficult as I know them well, so it easier to get them in a more relax, natural pose for the shots. It was like a pre-wedding photography for my client in a way too. The youngest daughter, Lisia is such a natural born model, she changes pose with every click of the shutter! and I really wonders where she learnt those porfessional poses.

One thing I have realised for a family shoot as compared to the wedding shoot is that we should not stretch the timing of the photography session to be too long as it more difficult to co-ordinate a larger group and children tends to get distracted and lose interest easier.

For this assignment, I have gotten the help of my best buddy, Vincent which offer fantastic help in terms of both logistic, choreographing and getting alternative shots, Thanks Kawan!
