You’ve heard of Trash That Dress…but how about Trash That Car? That was what Alex and Delia did at the end of the shoot. Yesterday was one of those days that made me glad I’m doing what I’m doing. A great couple, whacky ideas, perfect weather, in light of the flash floods we’re getting. We brainstormed the location that allowed us to drive a car into, and secluded lest the cops were called when we start painting. As it was we had a few curious stares. We realized there isn’t much choice in urbanized Singapore. Last time I did something like this was as at the Changi reclaimed land. I think there must be some huge buildings there now. Thank goodness my friend Sean did a shoot like this before and he gave some ideas.

I wasn’t too sure about the light in the evening since Sean did his shoot in the morning. But we drove around till we found the perfect spot. And we couldn’t have asked for more! A big open field that gave us space to move the car and a great clean background! I was all prepared to setup my speedlites but thank goodness, the lighting was just amazing!

We started the shoot with Alex and Delia with the car. I wanted a more lifestyle approach to the shoot and I drove my car next to theirs to get the shot from high. Now you know why I loved the location. Plenty of space to move two cars around. This shoot definitely made my day. Until England lost to Germany. But that’s another story.

Here’re a few of the pics:

And a few production pics taken by Lydia.

Looks like the paint is going to coat the lens. But carefully positioned car made sure the winds prevented that

The last shot for the day. Alex and Delia with their handiwork
