Pregnant Mummy Photo Shoot - Series II

During the photo shoot, a lot of mothers asked me to make them look beautiful.

That startled me a bit because frankly, I don't know how to make them beautiful.

Why? Because what is beautiful to me may not be to others and in photography, it is a losing battle to try to convince people that he/she look good in it.

To that request, I will ask them to act themselves because by acting naturally, I hope to capture the model in their true self.

By that, I hope the picture will still have the ever lasting feel no matter when you look at it even if it is 10 years from now.

And that is the only thing I can promise to do.

大多数的妈咪在拍摄期间常叮嘱我要把她们拍的漂亮。

这真的把我难倒了，坦白的说，我真的不会把她们拍的变漂亮起来。

为何？请问美丽的定义是什么？

我认为好看的别人为必会认同。最难搞的是要说服别人，说他/她在照片里是刘德华或是刘嘉玲。我不知要自扭屁股多少次以免自己会笑出来。

大部分男人看到舒淇会心动，您问问女人有相对的比例吗？

面对这情形时，我大多数会劝她们在拍照时自然些，这样我希望可以把他们真正的自己拍下来。

对我来说，那真情流露的时刻就是个人最美的时候了。

一个人最自然的表情就是最顺眼，最美的了。那肯定是一种百看不厌，什至十年后再回看还是觉的顺眼的。

那就是我拍照所要给的承诺 - 耐看。

Pregnant Mummy Photo Shoot - Series I

From the very first moment I started shooting all these mummies, little did I realise I will end up with such a huge series of collection and it is still growing by the day.

It is not an easy task certainly as the photo shoot requires a lot of coordination between the make-up artist, hair stylist, fashion designer, but most importantly the cooperation of the mother.

What amazed me mostly was the determination of these 'models', having to endure hours of make up, clothes fitting to the eventual torture by myself and the flashing guns. Well, none of them are professional models but all of them got at least a dozen good pictures to go home with at the end.

We all had a good time, or at least I thought it was. Nobody went home empty handed.

I am going to showcase the photos via a series and shared the experience while taking these shots.

Enjoy.

从我那一天拿起相机开始为怀孕妈咪拍照起，我从来没想到回一去不回头，拍了那麽多的妈妈，直到现在我还在继续为她们在做拍摄。

这并不是一个简单的过程因它牵连到很多专业人士比如化妆师，美发师，服装设计师 但最重要的还是妈咪的合作态度。

最令我惊讶的还是大部分妈咪的恒心，她们不但要承受冗长的化妆，试衣什至无数次的闪光灯折磨，但都毫无怨言。虽然没受过专业训练，她们都拿到了最少十张照片回家留念。

我深信大家都合作的愉快，因最少我没听到怨言。大家都没空手而归。

我会在这跟大家陆续的分享这拍摄过程。

希望大家欣赏。
