[Instagram Archive 30.3.2020] How To Jordan

The idea comes up when I really want to shoot a sporty look. But the thing is, I want to copy someone persona and put it on the talent for this. So I choose Michael Jordan. He is one of the best basketball players I ever know. Then, I started scrolling on the internet to see how he act in court.

There is one signature move that he always does before scoring, sticking the tongue out. He copies it from his dad. Based on my research, it's the way for him to show confidence and to tell his teammate he is in the "zone" before shooting.

I'm really grateful I choose Fisa for this. She is young, energetic and keen to try new stuff. She can fully understand my direction and vision for this particular shoot. Thank you so much for making this happened! Also, thank you to Verity for beauty makeup. Great team!

Lockdown & Virtual Shoot

Hi there, I’m currently residing in Sydney, Australia. I’m originally from Bekasi, Indonesia. For the past few months, Australia went on the lockdown to flatten the curve of Covid-19 which means the public must stay at home as much as possible. The greatest challenge of this situation is that we lost the privilege to meet face 2 face which was terrifying. So now video call is the most viable option to stay in touch with the loved one.

I did try shooting via video call or the so-called virtual shoot. Not the most favourites medium of shooting for me, to be honest lol. On one hand, a lot of issue while on the session such as bad reception, blurry video and etc. Also, the direction is really important, otherwise the images look so so. On the other hand, doing a virtual shoot is fun. We learn how to trust the model aesthetic with framing which makes it really natural yet majestic. Because at the end of the day, the one who understands the most about their best angle is the model itself (fight me on this statement lol). In addition, I also have a chance to meet virtually with the models I always want to shoot in Indonesia.

I shoot a couple story for this series but I only attached some of my favourites. Hope you like it :)

Ps. Since the lockdown is easing, will start shooting outdoor again anytime soon. Stay tuned!
