Silver Bells; an act of love
Posted by ally (: (Singapore, Singapore) on 23 July 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
constructive criticisms and suggestions are greatly appreciated as always! (: thank you guys so much.
don't you just adore the love you can sense oozing out from her parents as they drape on her veil? <3 i thought sepia gave it an interesting olden-day feel.

This is a nice triptych, you have done very well at the wedding shots. A little tip here would be, try different angles. I see most of your shots are taken from the same straight angle. In wedding photography perspective generates a lot on interest. Try holding the camera at different levels from the ground and shooting the subjects. I do that so much to the extent that i dont even bother to look thru the viewfinder as the camera is almost on the ground or sometimes way above my head hahaha.....
Very good processing here pal, black and white always rocks and sepia is cool.

I love the sepia tone and the idea of a triptic for this kind of picture. I also love the movement you give in the second one

A creative use of the triptych format with the sepia adding an atmospheric touch.

Very nicely done...I agree with Rahul too, try some other angles, it's amazing what you see from below or above instead of straight on, can't tell you how many times I have been on my knees, belly or my tippy toes to get a shot...wonderful series, you can feel the love and warmth in the photo. Oh and I like the sepia too! : )

This is my second time today. You've come a long way Ally.
Keep it up. Keep it going. You're doing terrific. The Sepis looks way better than the isolated color one. Very nice indeed.

Nice series of shots. I am not sure I am a big fan of the sepia though. It felt a bit 'murky' for me. I liked the clarity of the shot that followed though.
