Im Batman!

Recently Ive been toying the idea of taking some cool studio shots. Spoke about this to my photography buddies Photogmao & JR from JRN Portraits, whom I'm working with for my current project (about that in another post, soon).. and the photography duo agreed for the shoot.

Wanting the shoot to be different, I thought of a theme for it and came up with the idea to make the theme be Superheroes.. for I do like superheroes anyway.

I conveyed this to them, and they agreed.. so, I brought along superheroes tees for the shoot.

And, here's the outcome. Yes, I am Batman! :)

The shoot was pretty fun - with us trying a few different poses.. which we thought would relate to the theme Superheroes.. or in this case, Batman.

Btw, I think this pose above suits the t-shirt pose that Batman is in.

Apart from the poses which I worked with the photographers, I also like the play of shadows & also the blue colours in the photos which gives some feel to the whole Superhero theme... all I can say is "really cool lah!".

Btw, apart from the Superheroes shots, we also did a close up.. and here it is.

Thank you, Photogmao & JR... you guys are cool!

Which Superhero?

"Which superhero best represents him/ her?" I asked my group of friends.

This was part of a game we were playing - to see how well we know our friends. We can ask any question, and the group is to guess about each friend.

I thought this game was quite insightful - not just to know our friends better, but also to see deep within, on who we really are... and how our friends/ the world perceive us.

Amongst us, we came up with answers like Batman, Superman, The Incredibles, She-Ra, etc. Most of the time, our superhero mentioned is the idol of that friend. Some of us agreed instantly, while others took some time to ponder - reflecting how true the synonym is.

The game did give me some reflection on who we aspire (look upon), and how we relate to him/ her.

And though we may not think ourselves as superheroes, however, it is worthwhile to think what would our Superhero do if he/ she is trapped in the same situation like us.

Would he/ she complain, make a fuss... or would he rise and do whatever it takes to solve the issue? And how would he/ she do it?

The fact is, if we think like our superheroes, we might just be like them - not on having supernatural powers but more so supernatural positive actions & supernatural attitude.


So, who is your idol superhero? And are you like him/ her? :)


*Some other insightful questions we played were:
Which animal best represents him/ her?
If he/ she could do anything in the world, what would he/ she do?
Where would he/ she retire? (This is coming up next!)
