Preview from series with Zhang Jingna for Singapore Brides

here's what the photographer zhang jingna had to say about the picture:
"It was just starting to get a little chilly around the time when we shot this. But the weather was kind with us on the day itself -- kind of a rare thing when I shoot overseas, something I was infinitely grateful for.

The location was empty save for a cellist playing when we arrived. I had Lauren leaning against some pillars at first, then a few different poses and I was more or less ready to move on. We were pressing for time and I was trying to finish within a few frames so we could change into to the next dress before the light went out for the day.

However the music kept playing, and playing, and it was so magnificent and poetic as the melodies echoed throughout the halls I felt an urge and need to capture the beautiful moment in which we were submersed in. I told Lauren to hold up her dress, to twirl and walk and move towards the light. She did, and everything came to live in the viewfinder. I had my shot.

It's one of those 'simple' photographs, where everything else is stripped away and the image is about the essence of a certain moment. I had my assistants moved away with the reflectors to give her full space for movements and photographed with whatever natural light there was left before the sun went down. In those moments it was just about the harmony between the two of us, and it was beautiful."


The rest of the series will be up sometime later this week at Fashion.SingaporeBrides.com, and there will also be a behind the scenes video posted on my blog! So check back soon :)

Zhang Jingna shoot - day 1

Had an amazing shoot today with Singapore photographer Zhang Jingna. We had a trailer all day, and shot in some really great places in the city (brooklyn park, meatpacking district, flat iron, central park, etc). The model was Lauren, who was fabulous, and the Hair Stylist Crews was also phenomenal. Furquan, the stylist, was also from Singapore, and was super awesome and terrific. We shoot again tomorrow and I'm really excited. Expect some AMAZING pictures soon. and a video!
