High School Sweethearts: Sheila & Hafiz

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009. I was commissioned by Sheila to take photos of her post wedding. I was excited for this shoot as she wanted to take photos at their high school. I was really surprised to see that they wore school uniforms for this shoot. And they actually just bought 'em brand new. Ah, the things people do for love eh? And it was so wonderful that they shared some ideas and actually brought some props of their own. I think they were even more prepared than I was.

We went to a few spots around the school, starting from one of the classrooms. It was pretty dusty though, since it's still the holidays. Which of course was the perfect reason they chose this time to do this shoot. Or it would have probably been impossible. They did write a formal letter asking for permission though. Such a great and cooperative couple. All I had to do was come to take their photos. They even brought me the door gifts from their recent wedding. So very sweet. I very much enjoyed this session. And I hope you do too! Okay, so here are the photos. -Anna Joe

Hi Anna! This series really give me inspiration to do a shoot with my partner, whom is my primary sch sweetheart ;) Keep up the good work! Love it!

naqibmiller said...

cute gile....

Xora said...

cute! rasanya Udin from CS pun pernah buat tema cam ni gak. tema dah menarik sgt tapi execution agak terkucil sikit dan lari dari true school theme. tapi apa2 pun, good effort :)

Thanks everyone for your nice comments. Mwahs!

Wana Zainal:

You definitely should. I sebenarnya ngan hubby ni pon takda couple shoot tengah preggy ni. I should soon before the baby comes out!!!

Xora:

Itulah, I rasa macam pernah tengok someone did this school theme before, but can't quite put my finger on it. Apa-apa pon, I can't take the credit for the theme idea, since it was the clients!

As for the execution, I've never been personally 100% satisfied with the execution of ANY my works. Always feel that I can do better. Plus, I'm new to this whole wedding and taking photos of other people. Sangat kekok nak direct orang, since before this buat self-portraits memanjang. I really need to practice more on communicating my ideas and thoughts.

However, considering this is my second time shooting this kind of photography,I'm quite happy. Kalau boleh macam-macam lagi I nak buat during this session, tapi I takut nak push myself too much since I pon tengah sarat mengandung 8 bulan ni. Itupun ada jugak I panjat-panjat kerusi. Hahaha.

But I shouldn't really make that an excuse. Hehe. Cheating :P

Hopefully I can be better with more and more shoots. Thank you for your honest input! Motivates me to improve myself.

Thank you thank you!

Daniel Ideris:

Thanks dude. If it was only real film. Pergh.

eila said...

sukalah tgk pic niee..... teringat zaman sek bercinta.... hehehee

yunayuni said...

This an awesome shot anna. I like the finishing touch, looks vintage and nostalgic.

have been trying to find how to make such effect, perhaps if you dont mind sharing :)

Sue Anna Joe said...

eila:

Huahuahua. Thanks babe.

yunayuni:

I won't tell you the step by step, since it's always different each time I do it.

But the main tools I use would be curves and selective coloring. Then some adjustments to the brightness and contrast.

You can check some of these online tutorials.

Photoshop vintage effect | Verlee's blog

Create a vintage photo effect in Photoshop: Emanuele Feronato

Vintage Photo Effect by Denny Tang

Or you could just use ready made actions like Vintage Effect - Ps Actions - by ~photoshop-stock

There's a bunch more of these actions on deviantART Vintage Photoshop Actions on deviantART

You don't really have to follow every single step as mentioned, just adjust here and there to suit your own taste and style. It's pretty much about experimenting.

Hope that helps!

yunayuni said...

thanks anna!
