Outdoor shoots at NTU campus, Marina Barrage and Singapore skyline at night!
Every year, thousands in Singapore graduate from universities, and so many let it pass without truly having a keepsake of images that will last till they grow old. When they look back, all those memories of joy, stress and friendship will serve as a reminder that they had a fulfilling college life.
When Christopher (one among the 8 here graduating) contacted me through a mutual friend, I jumped at the opportunity to take proper outdoor portraits for these graduating folks. We spent about 8 hours traversing the NTU (Nanyang Technological University) campus, driving down to Marina Barrage, eating dinner, and finally strolling the Singapore river bay in front of the skyline.
They were a seriously happy bunch. All they wanted were photos of happiness, and they made it easy by goofing around like they always do. I wish I had gotten to know everyone better but was so caught up in making sure I got all the moments captured!
Apart from photojournalistic shots, we did pose some as well. Perhaps the biggest challenge was coming up with creative ideas for this medium-sized group. Posing 1 to 2 persons is simple enough to direct, but as the numbers increase, so does the difficulty. Thankfully, the results were still great, and I’m happy to report that they were awe-struck by the photos as well!
Take a look and tell me what you think:
