So, arrived in KL 24 hours later than planned. Which was unfortunate as we had a tight schedule ahead of us. This is a nihgt view of the city - unfortunately the Petronas Towers are obscured by other buildings here, but more about them later...
So, a day late but we eventually got away on July 4th and headed for Kuala Lumpur.
This shot was taken from our flight (on a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777) somewhere over either Kazakhstan or Turkenistan, just as we were flying into the night sky.
In order to blog about my recent holiday I need to start at the beginning, which is where Paris comes in. The thing is, the holiday was actually to Malaysia & Singapore!
Due to a combination of weather & technical issues our flight from Dublin was delayed by almost two hours, which meant that we missed our connection at Charles de Gaulle airport and had to spend a night in Paris. Let's face it, if you're going to get stuck anywhere then Paris is the place to be!
So an afternoon was spent in Paris. Not a lot of time to shoot but as it had been four years since my last visit to the French capital I was happy to be there, however briefly.
I had an idea for a group shot with The Sedettes that was based around Helmut Newton's (in)famous 'They're Coming' shot, but without the nudity.
In the end, I'm not sure if it works - obviously it needs the second shot but I can't help thinking it looks a bit 'girl band' as it is now.
The indvidual shots worked out well though :)
More work with Sedition Industries, this time a studio shoot to provide some headshots and promo material for their website.
I shot with four of the Sedettes, Kay (aka PostModern Sleeze Sedition) is the subject here and I really like her eye makeup! Looks cool to me anyway.
The studio was The Joinery in Dublin.
Past and forthcoming travels...I need a new memory card :)
This is from a shoot with model Lareina and makeup artist Tracey that I worked on at the weekend. It was a wedding theme, with the emphasis on the makeup.
The setup was pretty simple, 2 speedlites for this shot - a 580ex on the right via a white brolly and a 430exii to the left with a diffuser.
