film // two seconds singapore

I filmed a lot on my trip to Singapore. When I came back I banged my head on the wall for about 10 days. I didn't know what to make of all the footage. There was no story line I could think of that wasn't sappy. No music that perfectly defined the essence of Singapore. And then I thought of this: no story line, no music, just a conglomerate of the footage. Two seconds worth of clips. Smooshed together. Introducting, "Two Seconds Singapore".

singapore - little india // november '11

Just got back from a 10 day trip to Singapore. Out of those 10 days, 5 were spent lugging my camera around. This is some of the shots I came up with. I figured I'd take this little trip to expand on my street photography, but it's rather tricky to do with prime lenses. When taking portrait I have more control moving back and forth. Not with street photography, moments end in an instant.

This is part one of the few photographs I took in Singapore. All in Little India. It's amazing how Little India is literally like a miniature India, it doesn't feel like Singapore.

autumn ends // october '11

It's actually not the end of autumn, it's the end of spring here in Australia.

film // carter's theory

Again, not photography related, but I have written and directed a film called "Carter's Theory". I'd be grateful if you'd watch it. It's the comical journey of Hannah's break-up and the explanation of Carter's theorised five stages of a breakup. 

dolphin cruise // september '11

Didn't really get to see dolphins, just the fins amongst murky waters of six little ones. But got a lot of good picture of people.

peek-a-boo // august '11

 Under a make-shift cubby house these two sisters, Claire and Laura, played peek-a-boo with my mother.

parisienne balloons // july 2011

Inspired by Siebe's Cookie Splash! set. This is my second attempt, the first one can be found [here].
This (adorable) mug was bought from Typo Australia.

This was a lot fun to do, though a pain to get right. I am extremely happy with the end result. I used two small potatoes, which I dropped into the mug simultaneously. And check out my Mum's adorable red capsicum in the background :)

sienna // june 2011

I finally saved money and instantly spent it on my new lens - a 85mm f/1.8. I figured that since I've been taking so many portraiture photographs that I should get a better portrait lens. I was a bit skeptical at first but I don't regret it at all. It's amazing!

This is a single shot of Sienna, with her killer blue eyes.

film // pohela boishak

I know this isn't photography related but it is my work. I was forced asked to make a film for our Bengali New Year event. This is what I produced:

laura // growing up

Laura has been under my Mother's care for about six months and I have been taking photographs of her since. Here she is, growing up through the last few months.

aleisha // february 2011

I want more time with this one, she's absolutely adorable and very entertaining with her blabber. Aleisha has killer eyes, which makes shooting her so much more time. Future model alert, yes?

roadtrip // mt. gambier

I just got back from a six day road trip. Although I didn't take many photo's there are a few nice one's from the beginning of my trip.

We started at Mount Gambier, which is known for the Blue Lake. It's a lake situated above volcanic debris that turns to this most vibrant blue only during summer, which is now. The photo's of the Blue Lake below are not heavily edited, just some changes in contrast. The colour of the water is the same as the photograph. 

Below are pictures from the sink hole in Mount Gambier.
