Local (Singaporean) photographers come in several different breeds.
Guy with Camera (aka GWC): This is the "hobbyist" who takes pictures of models in lingerie and assorted sexy outfits. Mostly for wank-material. May bargain shoot prices or pay, quite eagerly, however much I request.
Arty farty: He doesn't care how others view his work. As long as he gets the shots he wants, no matter how eccentric, he's happy. I like this kind of people; this is when work becomes play and there's so much creativity exploding from the both of us.
Commercial: Shoots only trendy stuff. Wants cliched poses. I find these shoots to be more work-like rather than fun... But oh well, money is money, so bring it on!
I really love the photog who did this series of shots you see here. He's the arty farty kind who lets me be myself. Not many photographers in Singapore would do that. Usually, they'd prefer standard shots of pretty girls in trendy clothing / lingerie. Perhaps it's the "be safe" mentality from the Singaporean mindset overflowing into this realm of art and creativity... Or maybe it's just commercialism. Whatever it is, I'm glad to find him, and glad that he's one my my regular photogs. I'm just waiting to get COLOR versions of these pictures, cos they're almost high-fashion-esque due to high-key lighting. Mmmm, high-fashion.
He's pretty open to the goth / fetish concept as well, and WE WANT TO SHOOT SUICIDE GIRLS' STYLE.

Who knows, I may turn him onto goth yet!
Be bringing him to the local alternative parties come 18th Sept.
Stay tuned for my next fetish shoot~!
