Ali - Memo

A new album is on the way by singer/painter (the first in Malaysia!!!) Ali of Dikala Jingga entitled Memo. Check out the sample song on this album here and if you like the song be a fan and when the album comes out, buy.

Memo

A promo shoot for his music project he's been working on. Will update on it later on.

Guitar Hero Project begins - Joe Wings

Group shot of Wings after the show

Me and zul travel all the way to Penang hunting the first Guitar Hero in my list and he was none other than Joe from the legendary band 'Wings' back in 1987. I got the privilege to be backstage and setup a simple lighting for the shoot thanks to Ijan of Sayap-sayap Wings for making it worthwhile.

Joe 'Wings'

The shoot went well. I was backstage and shouted "hey joe, come and sit over here! I wanna shoot your head!" and he said "Yea! Ok!" After couple of shot we shake hand 'rocker' style and they went on to perform. After the show me and Belanda arrange a group shot of them before we all went to Kapitan Restaurant before we head back and I was sooo cool.

It's partially true... actually it went like this.

The shoot went well but I must admit that I failed to make the subject comfortable with a laid back conversation. I was fucking nervous man! A rookie shooting big names. But they were cool with it and that helps. I was getting ready with the setup and they were on the other room when I noticed Joe getting ready for the show. After a while I approached him, intro myself and invite him for a short sitting. He was kinda reluctant that makes me more nervous but I got the shot.

And then came Black the drummer. No problem taking a straight forward portrait of him.

Eddie(Bassist) is great striking an old school year book pose.

And then came Awie, the vocal. I think he was so used to the magazine photoshoot he got no problem getting a magazine look in his photo.

After a while he got self-conscious and strike this one..."Provocative pose from chief of Naga Keramat" he joked about the roumors of him getting involved in a mob.

After the show me and zul went back to our hostel we checked in earlier near Kapitan restaurant to eat. And there again they came at the restaurant. They seems like they can't get enough of us!

Now was the day tomorrow is

Got a call from Suddin 'star' Lappo to shoot an album cover+promo that still in progress. Last minute power as usual. Tiring but good.

And tomorrow I'll be off to Pesta Pulau Pinang to start the much awaiting 'Hero Gitar' project. Wings will be playing at Tapak Pesta Pulau Pinang tomorrow night at 9 on 24th and 25th Dec. Yes 2 nights in a row. See you there.

None More Black

Triangular Lighting

Just came back from Melaka for a job and this guy here brought an extra light for a quick shoot. Three light, means triangular, means cool lightings. His sb800 is spot on but i have a problem with my cheap wireless receiver. Sometimes it flashes but sometimes it doesn't. But hey! I can get 8 of it for 1 pocket wizard. Stop complaining.
So I took this chance for my self indulgence.
