Night Fashion Photoshoot with Marjorie Lining
Since Marjorie was very accommodating and didn't mind travelling longer and having a much later dinner, I decided to give her a night shoot with professional lighting. Therefore, I didn't set up any lights at the supposed-to-be final location because it would take up lots of time for setting up and dismantling them.
We moved to the Supertrees at the heart of the Gardens by the Bay. I was using my new hand trolley so that my legs wouldn't be killed by the heavy equipment but I realised my hands were "amputated" by the load instead, especially when I made a big mistake of hanging the load at the handler as it would require more strength at a higher placement. By the time we got to the trees, my hands were both shaking, but I had to pretend to be perfectly fine in front of the model. The darkness had probably hidden my fatigue face. The place was crowded with tourists. Before I finished my two-light setup, the light and music performance had begun. I didn't want to be bashed up by the audience with the constant flashing of my lighting and thus we waited for the show to end.
I was glad that I had made a good decision to let Marjorie feel like a professional model because even the couples who were doing pre-wedding shoot over there had only a bare speedlite without any light modifier. With the crowd dispersing, the background was much cleaner even though there were still many photobombs around. A Caucasian lady made the night by doing a photobomb right next to Marjorie and I didn't miss the chance to snap a shot of it.
I could have done much better if any of my assistants was available. I was glad the wind speed was slow by then (I had already done my research) and I was proud of my endurance. Of course, I was even happier with the end result.
