In September last year we were commissioned by Emas Sri Pinang for a photoshoot. The photos are for a campaign to promote their newest branch opening in Danau Kota, Kuala Lumpur.

Why only I share it now? Well, it doesn’t look good to “scoop” (to use a journalism term) one’s own Client no? For commissioned commercial work from a Client, there’s usually an embargo between 3 to 6 months. After the Client has done using the images in the final format (be it print or electronic usage) then I’ll share it here in this blog.

No, I don’t rush to “published” the said work in Facebook, which is strictly a social networking site with unfavourable T&C for photographers. “Budak-budak berkampung di Facebook” dontch nor wanted to unerstand that bit, when their artwork got “stolen” by a 3rd party of course they cried foul but read the T&C then you know you already given your “rights” away lah bro.

Enough rant, it’s early in the Day and I am currently enjoying my tea while typing this blog. A picture sure tells a thousand word, so let the pictures do the talking leerrr….

eh, “Shock! Horror!! Ted Adnan is seen sitting behind a Canon!!!”

A wee bit of direction…

part of the MUA & Stylist crew, in the BTS video too…

Ted Adnan bilang … jenama calculator dan printer serta mesin fotokopi Canon pun BOLEH!

Not to be outdone, Ungku Firdaus bilang… Blackberry Pun BOLEH!

Ted Adnan is seen modelling the “I Joined Ted Adnan’s Lighting Workshop and All I Got Is This Lousy T-shirt” tee…

Some minor adjustment…

..some more adjustment

…okay now you see that there’s clearly a video dewd in the photoshoot. The BTS vid will be shared in my new website soon-ish

A Lowepro roller bag was spotted rolling superfast across The Barebone Studio erm, studio floor during the shoot…

The said LowePro The Pro Roller™ Attaché x50 camera bag in between takes…

The result straight from the back of the Canon LCD screen…

I will always get it right in camera, with minimal post processing equals to faster turnaround equals a very happy Client.

There was a few wardrobe change, in case you didn’t notice lah…

another bit of art direction from the photographer…

the wristwatch on the hand was bought from proceeds from the very first commercial shoot back in 1998 *winks*

A light banter during a break in the shoot …

part of The Crew during a break in the shoot…

Many many thanks to Emas Sri Pinang, the hardworking talent, Ms Faezah Elai and the MUA and the Stylist and the Wardrobe crew for the Emas Sri Pinang campaign at The Barebone Studio, Saujana Impian Kajang…

You must be wondering, where can you see the work lah? Well, if you at The Setiawangsa, Jelatek and Danau Kota LRT station you can see the lightboxes featuring Ms Faezah Elai and there’s a big 10′x40′ billboard at Danau Kota Uptown site too..

another alternative view from the Danau Kota uptown junction… quite heavy traffic there, no?

Anyway, the point of this post here is that without the input and assistance from everyone involved, this photoshoot won’t happen. Remember, there’s no “I” in the word “team”, as such, I am forever grateful to the Client Mr Ghulam and Mr Amin from Emas Sri Pinang, Ms Faezah Elai a up and coming, nay, popular Malaysian female actress, the MUA, Stylist and Wardrobe team (sorry ya?Ttheir names escape me at the moment, nanti lah I look for their business and amend this post oso ler) and last but not least, my crew for the day Mr Firdaus and Mr Faiz (both attended a few of my lighting workshop and talk/outing previously oso) for assisting me in the photoshoot for Emas Sri Pinang Sdn Bhd at The Barebone Studio, Saujana Impian, Kajang, Selangor.

“Thank You” from Ted Adnan Photography & Design c/o The Barebone Studio Saujana Impian, Kajang

Well, that’s all for today’s “marketing” post lah folks. Thanks for reading today’s entry lah!
