005 - Don't play with your food! (Part 1)

Our parents always tell us not to play with food. But for the sake of photography and blogging, we'll be breaking this rule for now.

We want to recreate this blog using materials available in our homes.

Here's the list of what we used in this shoot:
1. Fish bowl (with  water)
2. Reading Lamp
3. Calamansi (or lime, or lemon, etc.)
4. Improvised reflector (illustration board covered with silver foil)
5. Backdrop (for this I just used a blank wall)
6. Camera
7. Tripod

Timing is a big factor in this photoshoot. We took several shots before we were able to capture the image that we wanted.

You can play with different background colors in order to achieve the look that you want.

Watch out for the second part of Don't play with your food! :)

003 - Model Photoshoot (Michelle)

We miss photoshoots! It's been a while since we had our last photoshoot so we grabbed the opportunity we had last Thursday (06.13.13). We collaborated with Mhickoh Production's first ever model, Michelle, for the shoot. 

While we intended have a theme for the shoot, we had limited resources. So for the outfit, we had this blue floral dress from tiangge for around PhP 350, beige high-heels, round dangling wooden earrings we borrowed and a vintage necklace. For the hair, we just went for small curls/waves. We would also like to thank Jenn for doing Michelle's make-up for free and for giving some tips for Michelle's poses :) 

It was raining very hard so we decided to shoot in our unit, hallways and fire exit. Most of the photos are not fully focused. Something I have to work on and learn ASAP. 

At the fire exit. Changed the paint to blue.

Yellow dress. In my top 3 list of favorite photos. 

Pink and purple dress.
A little more natural could have been useful but yeah, we're in a no-window fire exit,so no sunlight.  

White dress. Haggard look? Haha.
Used radial blur  (spin) for the background. 

Mint green / Blue green dress. Curious about what she is looking at.
The shadow is too strong due because of pop-up flash. 

Pink dress. This is one of the shots I like the most. 

Candid shot. Just  tried a different background for this one which reminds me of a telecom network.
Originally shot with a plain white wall as background. 

Emote. Also one of my favorite shots because it has a little emotion in her face.
Most of her  poses are poker faces (peace! well she knows that. ).

001 - Baptism Shoot for Yeuro Emmanuel

Last May 5, we covered a baptism in Bulacan. This is the first official out-of-town coverage of Mhickoh Photography (our business in-the-making). Since the client is a relative, the fees are pretty much discounted than our target fees.

Here are some of the few photos from the event. 

Aside from not being as sharp as I wanted it to be, I wish we had a different background for this one. Here we just used the bed cover as the background which is apparently pink - not the usual color for the baptism of a baby boy. But, we have to make do of what we have. Maybe we just have to be more prepared for this kind of situations next time. 

Yeuro's clothes and shoes. 

This kid is just adorable. I'm very lucky to be able to capture his smile, a picture that every parent would want to see. 

Baby boy Yeuro. 

 This pretty little girl, Yen-yen, loves her photos being taken - but only if she is solo (see next picture). She has a bag full of poses when she had her mini photo shoot in the reception. Here's her gwiyomi pose.

Yeur'o's sister, Yen-yen. Future model? :)

See? I told you Yen-yen does not want to be in a group picture. The photo could have been better. But nevertheless, it still depicts a happy family. 

Bulaong Family. 

That's it for my first post. If you want to see the rest of the photos, click here.
