Concept 4

I walked into the studio looking like an absolute mess: a perspiration-soaked white tee, a pair of red shorts, stained yellow slippers, and two bags full of clothes dragging behind me… And it definitely didn’t help much to see the other people in-line all dressed up to the nines.

It wasn’t long after settling down before I was told to change into my first set of clothes. Basically, I was going to have three sets of shoot, each with a different concept. I went for the quirky, “happy-go-lucky” look to start things off. I had my makeup done and boy, how I wish my skin looked as flawless all the time…

Concept 1

I felt a little nervous while posing for the first shoot but I managed to shake it off. Nervousness won’t be of much use, as I have learnt time and time again. Someone was instructing poses to me, and although I followed, I took the liberty to improvise a little. I didn't want my shots to be generic! It was a good ice-breaker though, as I let myself lose and started to have more fun with the shoot.

Concept 2

For the second concept, I was advised to go for an edgy, “cool” look. In all honesty, this wasn’t exactly my strongest image and the eyeliner I was wearing made me feel a tad self-conscious. Awkward poses prompted one of the models present to lend me a helping hand. A few advices here and there went a long way, and resulted in a shot that I personally adore.

Concept 3

I utilised my velvet blazer for the third, going for a formal, “classy” look. At this point, I was thoroughly enjoying the whole photo shoot process. It was fun, creative and exciting! I felt adventurous and requested to take a shot with only my blazer on. I know that I don't have the to-die-for chest and abs but I think I pulled it off pretty well.

With that, I was done. I changed back into my tee and pair of shorts, slipped on my slippers and left the studio. My makeup was still on and let’s just say that Singaporeans are not accustomed to eyeliner on males.
