| Shirley being posed by Ivan to do Ariana Grande's "Side to Side" |
A couple months back, I went on my first insta-meet/walk with the best friend. At that time (and even now), we were always talking about how we wanted to expand our social circle. To some of you, that might seem like an easy thing to do. But we're introverts and we absolutely suck at socialising. Honestly. So going for this insta-meet was a huge step for the two of us. Well, I kinda dragged him there because I didn't want to go alone. While I did make a few friends there, it was still awkward for me.
Fast forward to last Saturday, one of the friends I made from the previous insta-meet invited me to come on another one. It was pretty timely as well since it provided me a much needed getaway from army after they've been burning plenty of my weekends away. I gotta say, I surprised myself. I actually had a lot more fun than I imagined, and I even managed to talk to more people.
And compared to the first time, I learnt a lot more on this insta-meet. It was amazing to see a lot of them at "work", posing the models and just throwing out ideas here and there. I've never really experienced something like this before so I was just awestruck 80% of the time. I even got to shoot in the dark (something that I've been wanting to try for a long time) because Tampines Hub opened up their Laser Quest for us. Thank you to that MVP who used his phone torch to light up Shirley for us.
And just yesterday, before we went to watch some National Day fireworks, Ivan and I did a little pursuit of portraits shooting after we found a bunch of really nice looking overgrown flowers hanging off a wall. Because you know, everybody loves taking flower bokeh. I'm no exception to that. Once again, I got to see his ability at posing people (which in this case it's me) after he posed Shirley at Tampines Hub. I've still got much to learn from all these amazing photographers, obviously.
