Shooting with MY FM

Though I've told myself quite a few times to not take a free job, I gave in to this one as they needed immediate photos of the announcers for an upcoming campaign and red tape work would take at least a week while I can do it in 24 hours.

As a virgin user of portable (or big & bulky) studio lights, I tried to jump over the hurdles of having to set-up in 15 min, being chased to finish the shoot in half hour due to the announcers' tight schedule, having no physical guidance from a guru (had a crash course on studio light set-up from Sam 2 hours before the shoot), not having any suitable white backdrop but using what's available in Astro building and having to make do with a few experiments to rid the shadows on the clothes - I came up with these pictures. Unfortunately, the shadows problem was not resolved.

Hope the sponsoring client will be happy with them. Only heard a compliment from Jack, the announcer and one from an agency doing the cropping. :)

Anyway, if any of the pictures are chosen, you'll be seeing them in life-size at chinese medicine shops around Klang Valley. :) Will update that when I see them displayed.

MY FM is the number 1 Chinese radio station this year and also for the past 10 years in Malaysia. The 3 announcers photographed are the number 1 Chinese Breakfast Crew in the country.
