Oriental Charm Collection by NiGel. CHiA

This is a collection inspired by Chinese Cheongsam where it is full with oriental mood. High cheongsam collar, tight fitting, chinese buttom as well as chinese motive fabric are the elements can't be missed out in the collection. A total of 4 dresses had been done and 3 combination of black, gold and maroon is the main tone of the collection. I have spent around 2 weeks to finish it up with 2 of more conservative designs and another 2 with much creative designs. Photoshoot was being done indoor this time in my little small studio.

NiGel.CHiA Bridal Couture & photography at Kellies Castle

It was prior to my brother's and brother in law registration of marrige and we decided to go for a outdoor bridal shooting at Kellies Castle, Ipoh. Early in the morning, after we had done the make-up and hair, with the bride in NiGel.CHiA bridal couture, we headed to our destination and reached around 12p.m. It took RM50 for us to enter for photoshooting. Since it was saturday, there were quite lot of tourist visiting the castle and we had to avoid to have any tourist on the background.

Heavy rain came in the middle of photoshoot! Thus, we had no choice but to do it inside the castle while waiting the rain to stop. After some time, the rain slow down and we decided to have some shoot under the rain and we had some great shoot! We had total of 300++ photos and I had pick the best 18 shoots. Enjoy it!

NiGel.CHiA Bridal Couture outdoor shooting

It is a bridal couture commission by a Belgium Iplehouse BJD owner and I have taken the chance to give it an outdoor photoshoot with my Alessandra before sending it out. It was a deep V ball gown with seqean detail at the waist line and some texture design at the dress with sheer chiffon. It was nearly afternoon when I took Alessandra in this bridal couture to the back of my collage where there have a great view of grassland and trees. The sun was above the sky and I have no choice but to search for a shade for photoshooting since I don't wish to have my Alessandra turn yellow faster with UV ray. Too bad the reflector I had ordered haven't arrived yet, so I had to use the flash to brighten up Alessandra under the back light condition. Nearly 200++ photos had been taken and I am quite satisfied with the result.

Alessandra outdoor photoshooting with NiGel.ChiA Red Carpet Gown

It's Saturday! The excitment is not comming because of school off but I was taking my supermodel, Alessandra for her 1st ever outdoor fashion shooting with my latest red carpet gowns!

It was 7.30a.m in the morning where I woke up and quickly rushed to the window to ensure that there wasn't raining. What really upset me was there were small little rain dropping from the sky. Due to it, nothing much I can be done in raining day, thus I went back to my bed for another sweet dream......

The next woke up was around 9.30a.m. Thank god that the sky was all clear now! I quickly grabded all the stuff I had prepared last night, my camera and also Alessandra in her doll bag and rushed to the spot of photoshoot. Feeling relieve that there ware no other people on the spot and I can do my shooting freely without people looking at me.

Gosh, Alessandra looked wonderful when all dressed up but what I was really fustrated when she ignored to stand properly when I posing her! This gave me a good lesson that I should bring the doll stand for her when doing outdoor shooting. After spending quite a long time to make her stand stable with pose, my camera was ready!!!!!

Total of 2 location in my photoshooting journey. 300++ photographes have been taken and it end up I was chasing by a heavy rain during the photoshoot. Life is about unpredictable stuff and you have to be ready all the time!

Browsing through the photos, I have picked up some of the best pictures and retouched it! Thank to my new camera, Canon 1000D, the process of editing photos was rather quick! My wonderful Saturday ending up with 11 photos which I am quite satisfy with the result. It is all worth it!

Enjoy the photos!
