Fashion Photoshoot with Shermaine Koh

This day was one of the most challenging days I had been through as the weather decided to be gloomy. It was pouring heavily by the time I met up with Shermaine. As none of us wanted to waste the morning since we had already gotten up so early, we proceeded to the location, praying hard for the best.

The weather decided to give us a break but happiness was a short moment of joy. After fixing up my softbox and moving to the pond side, the rain started pouring soon. We retreated to the nearest shelter.

It was a beautiful morning despite having been stuck under the pathetic shelter for a long time as I got to know more about Shermaine through our conversation. Apart from her ability to split, what impressed me most was her easygoingness. I admired her for her love of her work; she was simple. I was flattered by the trust she placed in me. I saw her maturity and I could feel the ease in her when she shared her stories as if we had known each other for years.

Since the rain seemed persistent, I decided to make good do of what we had. The shelter was small and boring, and its surrounding wasn't interesting enough to make a good backdrop. She was very bold and cooperative, although I wasn't too cruel to make her lie flat on the wet grass beside the pond like what I had initially planned less the rain. I decided to drop her onto the dry ground under the shelter instead and, fortunately, by that time, she had already gotten into the mood. Within a few clicks, I managed to capture her best expression from a flattering angle. She was as beautiful as her soul.

We did manage to leave the shelter for a while. As she has something on in the early afternoon, we weren't able to do much after the rain stopped. If it wasn't for the wet grass, I would have gotten a few more breathtaking shots.
