Superstardom Snap Shots

I'm not a model. This thing is actually very hard. My manager Yasha worked out a deal with his old friend back from his MRA radio days Erich Silalahi. Erich has recently started out his own photography business called CMYK. Saturday was the first day of two, and the photographer is Cka who spent years taking fashion photos for Indonesia's Harpers Bazaar.

We started before noon at this studio in Cinere, and finally finished at 21:00. It was 14 hours of work for me, the make up artist, my make up artist start doing his work on my face at 7:00 am. It was really exhausting for me, to hold every pose in hours. I went home feeling like I have worked out at the gym for hours, with muscles tensed everywhere. No wonder models are skinny. Being a model is a tough work..it is very physical..and they have to act in order to get good pose and good expression. So thank God I am not a model. To all models, I salute:)

The pictures you see on this page were taken by Yasha (with his pocket Canon Powershot), at the set that was built by Cka and his cousin/assistant Adit.

The pictures taken by Cka are now being processed and I'll definitely share the results with you when they're finished.

For now, enjoy the first peek of it... Sunday will be Erich's turn, and we'll see how that turns out




The 'Catok'. What a great invention

These pictures were taken using a pocket digital camera by my manager, for documentation purposes. That's why there are the silly pictures so we can all share to you the process of it. But the actual pictures of course use professional camera by the photographers, Erich Silalahi and Cka.

They will retouch the photo, add different backgrounds and effects. Well... it is kinda like making music to me:)
maylaffayza wrote on Jan 28, '07
just call Erich Silalahi at 0818110482 or 02170096670 or email him erich@cmykcore.com

these photos were taken by pocket camera, but the set and lighting were very pro. It takes skills and experience to compose them. Even the lights for the shoot are lightings for film, not for photography, to create a more dramatic feel to it.

Cool, huh?

I'm glad you thought of Lara Croft. I was afraid that people would say that this looks like that popular singer in that 'vitamin' commercial... ha ha

Justin's been shot by your "sexy back" :-)
fecelin wrote on Jan 28, '07
wah ini asyik lho actionnya, kesannya misterius gitu alias bikin penasaran, hehehe *o^
fecelin wrote on Jan 28, '07
ini juga asyik gayanya...lightingnya itu lhooo...kerennnn *o^
aryan wrote on Jan 28, '07
Yes I can see that. The artist seems like to play with shadow, apply at the color n teksture of background to give old n misterius feeling. It makes you like angel that come from a dark world. Hehe, am I exaggerated?

Yes It's cool.... and sexy ;)

bagus...katanya bukan model...tapi gayanya kok luwes bener ya..heheheh...
maylaffayza wrote on Jan 29, '07
mungkin karena pas foto aku selalu pasang musik, jadi gayanya bisa luwes...berhubung aku musisi,kalo enggak ada musik aku pasti mati gaya,)makasih ya kalo memang bagus:)

Ini sebetulnya foto dokumentasi pada saat photo session tersebut berjalan yang di foto oleh managerku Yasha, jadi memang mentah karena sebetulnya ini dokumentasi, bukan foto yang aslinya nantinya akan dibuat oleh fotografer.Iya, dokumentasinya aja udah bagus, apalagi nanti foto dari fotografernya yang sudah di retouch. nanti pasti akan kukasih lihat hasil fotografernya...sekarang masih aku pilih2 dulu,soalnya ada ratusan totalnya selama 2 hari foto itu, lalu baru nanti hasil pilihannya akan dikerjakan fotografernya .

I also think it was a beautiful idea the photographer had come up with.The lighting was dramatic, it's like as if it shines from heaven:) I like the old couch..it is really old but comfy:)

Hi!
Of course I would love to. Me and my management has been working on expanding to our negara tetangga which is Malaysia and Singapore. We also would really love it if we can reach out to anyone whos is well connected to people entertainment and showbiz in Malaysia. I am now working for my album that Insyaallah will be release by this year after Ramadhan. I hope God will help us make this come true.
