Red Tree Album is here

Gary — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 12:36:03 +0000

The Red Tree photo album has finally arrived. This is the first ever order from the Red Tree and I had no hesitation to let my client know that I’m ordering them something even I haven’t seen it in person. They trusted me and I trusted Red Tree to provide the highest quality they could deliver. And they did not disappoint me neither the album craftsmanship nor the photo prints. The prints on fuji crystal archive paper came out as what I see from my calibrated screen. The Japanese silk fabric is so pretty with the texture that sets apart from the leather.

For this album, Nicole selected the Tuscan Red fabric which is well suited for her Chinese background. The debossing is minimal to show the simplicity and elegancy of the album. As how I preferred, the album is lay-flat binding with thick pages.

Now that I have seen the actual product from Red Tree, I will order their sample album and swatches soon to let my clients see them in person.

I will provide Red Tree albums in 10×10 and 12×12 with minimum of 10 spreads (20 pages). A mini size of the original is also available in 5×5.

Tamsin + Dave: Spreading love around Claisebrook Cove, East Perth

Gary — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 07:41:51 +0000

A photo session before Valentine’s Day is perfect for your love ones. Tamsin and Dave arranged their portrait taken at Claisebrook Cove, East Perth. A little area with classy houses and apartments. The area is near the river with beautiful green surroundings. As usual, I brought the couple for a walk around the location and let them enjoy the session and capturing their natural love moments. Luckily the session was taken after the heatwave in Perth. With the afternoon breeze, it was so much comfortable for everyone of us there.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Nicole + Leon Perth pre-wedding

Gary — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 08:05:49 +0000

Many would call their photo session before wedding an engagement photo session. However, in many Asian countries, they call it Pre-Wedding photo session. The bride to be would dress in a bridal gown and the groom to be would wear suits. Whereas in engagement photos, both would dress casual or smart casual. Either way, the most important is to show love while enjoying the photo session.

Nicole and Leon will get married in China. They want to have photos taken in Perth to bring it back to their home to show everyone the characteristics of the city. We travelled from Fremantle, to UWA/Blue Shed and to Swan Valley. To capture the popular Perth sceneries that they would keep in memories. All the best to your wedding and marriage life Nicole and Leon.

Angela + Eric engagement session at Shing Mun Country Park

Gary — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 18:09:48 +0000

The weather was unstable, it has been raining for few days before the photo session. We worried because the photo session have already postponed once. The day turned out very lovely with scattered clouds to cool off the burning sun. The woods also covered up the path, so it was an enjoyable walk. It took us 20 minutes to get to the first location to start the photo shoot. The place was so green, the air was fresh. Plenty of good lights for the photo session. Hope Angela and Eric enjoyed the session and I can’t wait for their wedding day.

Karen + Jacky colorful engagement session at Shek O

I’ve known Karen and Jacky for quite some time and we have built a trust between us. They booked me for an e-session and we enjoyed it every much. The sunny, hot and humid weather didn’t stop us walking all the way out to the rocky seashore, back through the Shek O village and to the beach to finish off with some fun.

Jeraci + Samuel Love in Bali

These are plain and simple. Brought them out early in the morning just before the hard light hits. We started at the Chapel with the sun shine from the back of the Chapel which creates the high key tone. Then walked through the garden and took some more outdoor shots with lots of green!

Jess + Jake 100% humidity + 100% love in Central

Gary — Wed, 12 May 2010 16:56:07 +0000

It was a really humid day in Hong Kong. We know spring is here when it is 99% humidity and I don’t think 100% humidity makes any difference. It was hot, sticky and sweaty. To be honest I hate it so much because I’m a sweaty person and especially I need to go out for photo shoot. But hey I love what I do, and I don’t care what kind of weather it is. As long I have a camera on my hand, I will work hard to find good photos.

With this kind of weather, the photo session made Jess and Jake a bit exhausted. We had to walk around the Soho area in Central for some photo spots. The area is up and down hills, so as soon as we started walking up hills, we were sweating already. Nevertheless, we went to a few locations in Soho. Played with the swings, walk through some old streets and then took a rest at a famous food stall.

This e-session was planned by Jess as a surprise for Jake. Jake came from Perth to Hong Kong for holiday and Jess wanted to get Jake a birthday present. At the end Jess couldn’t keep the secret as Jake found out about me. It was a really a lovely idea and I hope they enjoyed the moment with the e-session.
