Star Wars

Vivien graciously let me be her assistant for her shoot again and so I got to witness a Star Wars photo shoot live. It was nothing short of cool. The studio we worked in was The Pond, and there was a photographer working with kids doing some stuff there so there were props everywhere. Of course, I couldn't keep away much from the giant teddy bear.

Okay, so because I wasn't the photographer, and because I was holding the styrofoam reflector thing, I only had one hand to shoot using my phone. Nonetheless, I really like the lighting for this shoot.

At the end of the entire shoot, we had about 5 minutes to do weird stuff so this happened.

This Tie Fighter Pilot looked the most menacing but without that mask on, he was the most soft spoken dude I've ever met. And his Star Wars figurine collection is mind blowing. There was this exhibition at the Singapore Philatelic Museum last year. Apparently, majority of the 800 figurines were from his collection. And that wasn't even his entire collection. My brother has a long way to go before his collection gets anywhere near that scale.

That (image above) is definitely the best polaroid I've ever taken (though I'm only using my second box of film). It's a bit brighter in this photo than it is in real life. It's a (not that) long exposure taken with the flashes' modelling light at its brightest and the 3 characters moving. The poor storm trooper couldn't move around much (he couldn't even sit) because of all that plastic on him.
