Observed & now with remarks & sometimes asked to stop, me to looking at women and I must shamelessly to admit, how my mind instantly imagine how beautiful they will look like in front of my lens with hair & makeup done by my makeup artist and get into their favorite dress and open up their soul to me.

For the love to what I am doing, how can you not be grateful for being able to see for yourself the beauty created on the universe by Almighty. The images in this post is Maya. Weeks before she left for Denmark to celebrate Christmas with the loved ones in the motherland.

  This post marked my first post of the year 2013. It has been a wonderful year of 2012 that was a minute ago, for me and with the power of gratitude to posses around my life.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013! For our year ahead will full with gratitude, happiness & love.

Most women who talked to me about booking in will go like “one day when I lose some weight, I want you to photograph me. I am on diet right now.” Mostly, the time is hardly to come for them to be happy of their weight and ready to be in front of the lens. Times up! This image shows how curvy and gorgeous can happen at the same time and not waiting until the uncertain time for her to be happy and ready.

I promise you that every time I bumped into Nazia, her look were so inviting to be photograph. I am addicted! Addicted to keep looking at the everyday women and mapping in my mind how gorgeous they will look like sitting in front of the lens, with hair & makeup done. Equally gorgeous with the magazine materials!

Embrace, be happy and feel good of yourself now. Celebrate!

“I think I start like to be 50…” Dorota Davidson

Our local culture has own very own name like Sarimah, Anita Sarawak & Noor Kumalasari are still amazing despite of their age! Celebrities like Madonna, Michelle Pfieffer, J. Lo, Julia Roberts and Hellen Mirren are smoking hot. They are all over the screen and all right in their 40s & 50s. And I am looking forward to be as hot (or less and humble!).

Women always concern of the age, but I am in my 30s and to photograph a hot women in her 50s were amazing! She’s doing yoga, wearing stylish outfit and feeling healthy! When I photograph Dorota, she was just naturally strong and beautiful! I didn’t get enough of her and enjoying every click! When I look into the photograph, I was stunned myself! How amazing she look like! She blew me away!

For whatever you figure is, embrace and appreciate. Be grateful for how healthy & beautiful you look like.

WHAT IS IT BEHIND THE GLASS WINDOW?

Behind the glass door. I had one shot of the painter for the exhibition back in 2011. Glass always attract me. Some mysterious feeling of shooting from behind the glass. The communication proves that even behind the glass door & not listening  but still we can bring out the personality of that someone.

These images of Rhonda behind the glass window at the home. The top one with the background of the yellow brick pillar next to the pond and I got Rien to hold a reflector from outside (yes, I made her cross the pond & it was so hot until she had to tiptoe!). Rhonda was sitting by the window next to her white & red roses. She really brought me to the time where I never been to & her look, I almost shed tears looking her through my lens.

Bottom was in her wedding anniversary outfit with the background of her front lawn looking beautiful!

One man said to me, “keep looking beautiful and things will come to you smoothly”. Until I understand what it meant and I see it’s coming.

Keep looking beautiful,
