Casual Lifestyle Bikini Photoshoot with Esther Choey
Esther is a sunshine girl filled with energy. She is cooperative and easygoing, which helps to make this shoot a success.
Unfortunately, she only had a set of bikinis and very limited tops that could match her bikini. No professional hair and makeup artist was involved and she could only do her basic makeup. With all the limitations, especially the lack of a professional stylist, I decided not to be too ambitious; thus, instead of a glamourous supermodel album, I suggested a lifestyle bikini shoot that could utilise her energy and cute bikini set. It would be so much easier for a young girl who was new to a photoshoot.
I chose the most suitable hairstyle that I could find among her Facebook photographs (doable by herself). We set for a swimming pool because doing a bikini photoshoot at the beach was more mainstream. I also planned some props that would suit the theme well. Esther took the trouble to source for the venue and props. She then sent me photographs of the items and outfits for discussion. I was amazed by her enthusiasm and effort.
Unlike other girls, Esther did not grumble about having to wake up early on a weekend and we managed to begin the shoot almost on time. There was no slight sign of tiredness on Esther's face throughout this early morning shoot and it took off one of my usual worries.
The buildings around the pool helped to block the direct sun but the shiny glasses reflected some spectacular light on Esther, which reduced the quality of the ambient light. We forgot to bring two of the planned props along. Eventually, we ended the shoot as it started to drizzle.
