Welcoming...!

Hi guys!

Sorry for being really, really, really quiet lately! The uni life has been hectic and mind-killing. *cries* Anyway, let's move on, shall we?

Back in March, I made a post about one of first photo shoots that I did for a friend. If you guys don't remember, here is the link. Now that you have clicked on that link (I will just assume you guys have or not X3), Luminary Photography is introducing a new member to the team ~~

LY

Now I shall let Ly introduce herself in this post. Please welcome her aswell!

Hi Folks! The name's Ly. Currently an undergraduate student. Have a habit of capturing moments of vagueness and awkwardness. My photography skills picked up during High School where I would secretly take photos of myself (I do love taking selfies) and other people when they are unaware. *Ninja ^.^b* This obsession of taking photos whenever and wherever I was and am, was constantly at the back of my mind, demanding me to take as much pictures as I can and of this instant (hands twitching) and not let anything go to waste! That was when I realized, I have a hobby for photography. And boy, lads and gents do I have an eye for great detail. ;) I hope, further down the track, whatever commitments I have, whether it be uni, work or maybe going to the toilet, I would still have time to share my photos with you hungry photo bloggers out there! BRING ON THE CAMERAS CAUSE LIFE'S TOO SHORT!

AKA, LYTHEZOMBIE.

We'll be back soon! 

Coming together like Yin and Yang

On Saturday night, the 11th of May, Luna and I attended an 18th birthday party of a two friends of ours. We were asked to take photos of their special night, to commemorate, not only their 18th year on this planet but their friendship that they have shared since the day they were born. Happy belated birthday to our friends, Andrew and Tony.

The night was quite spontaneous with various activities provided by the host themselves. This night was actually challenging for us because we have not had much experience the flash. Taking photos, trying to get the flash bounce off the roof to give a nice light fill to the photos. It was quite fun trying though and looking forward to using the flash in the near future.

The theme of this party was Yin-Yang where everywhere you look, majority of what you see was black and white, even the birthday boys were wearing black and white. There is not much words I can explain this night aside from saying it was an enjoyable night, celebrating with these beings and sharing to us their touching story. Here are the photos!

We walk great distances to get to where we are in life

Hello folks!

Sorry for being absent for almost three weeks! We did mention we had a shoot on the 6th of May and we've edited the photographs. However time has been constraint for me (Marie) due to uni work -- it's hard to juggle everything and trying to get this post up ASAP. *sad face*

Anyway, during these three weeks, we've been planning projects and experimenting with Adobe Photoshop. We were also preparing for the recent shoot we just did too. Quite hectic going to places, trying to plan before the actual date. Also bought a new lens! Now our cameras are twins!

Enough of that, let's move on to the day and some sweet and innocent photographs of our dear friend, Alexandra. Alexandra is another friend of ours from school, and it was really fun working with her. The theme of the shoot was Life and Strength, personally chosen by Alex herself. We also had Alex pick the location and she chose Royal National Park, Watamolla. A really nice and relaxing location South Coast of Sydney. Although it took us more than an hour to get there (due to wrong turns) it was all worth the travel.

It took us less than 2 hours to make these props that we later gave to Alex to keep.

The water at the beach was so blue. Could not resist to take pictures of it. If you guys ever come to Watamolla, you'll love it here! 

Also, throughout those three weeks, we had to help Alex to pick out outfits for the shoot. So it resulted in a white dress and a red one also. Luckily, it took less than 2 hours to pick out dresses. 

Now moving on, finally~~
