I did not place much hope of being selected as there are many good photographers in Singapore and only a handful of photographers (around 40) will be selected for the photography session. Each selected photographers will be given an hour to take photos for 5 pairs of contestants. Meaning there is only 10 minutes per pair. It is quite a rush for a portrait session, before the photographer and the subject could warm up, it will be time to move on!
On September 29th, I was surprised to find an email from Promo 8 when I open up my mailbox. The email stated that I was selected for the Star Search 2010 photography session!
"Congratulations!
You have been selected to take part in our “Star Search Photography Contest”! Your portfolio is truly amazing and we are
honoured to have you in our contest. We are happy to have you make beautiful pictures of our contestants."
For others, being selected for a photo session may not be something significant but for me, I'm happy to be selected because it goes to show that my photographs are being enjoyed by others.
The photography session was held last Sunday, 3rd October 2010. I was allocated the 10 a.m slot to photograph 5 pairs of Star Search Contestants. They are Jerry and Kristy, Jeffrey and Sora, Jeff and Mika, Lucas and Yilynn and finally Romeo and Peggy. All the contestants were very friendly and I had a wonderful time taking photos for them. Here are some photographs from the photography session. If you wish to see more pictures, please visit my photo-website http://ctsm88.zenfolio.com/p752636125.
