So I went to the beach with a friend yesterday (April 9, 2014) to just hang out and enjoy the nice RARE spring weather that Vancouver has blessed us. I had no intention of taking photos of people and just wanted to take some nice scenery shots and maybe some timelapse photography. I was sitting on the grass and had my tripod set up for my phone for some timelapse when I noticed a couple sitting on a bench shouting out peoples’ names while they were walking pass by them. I quickly realized that the couple we’re trying to play a “guess the name game” with others.

So the next logical thing was to get involved, LOL. My friend decided to ask them if they wanted to guess our names. So one thing led to another and it was GAME ON! They tried to guess our names and we tried to guess theirs. I actually managed to guess one of their names and they couldn’t guess ours. (I guess i’m psychic!)

After I have guess Kyle’s name (the guy on the right) they both decided to shake my hand.

We all started to talk with one another and shared stories and our backgrounds. His name was Kyle and her name was Kylie, a very cute and energetic couple. It’s hard not to get infected by their super friendly nature. After our conversation my friend suggested that I should take some couples photos of them and send it to their e-mail and I obliged. They we’re a good sport and we just decided to do a very quick shoot by the sand.

So here they are…

What a very lovely couple and I wish them all the best in their future. They find joy in the simplest things and make the best out of every situation, even as simple as guessing people’s names on the beach. Their photos could easily be used in a lifestyle magazine showing how people should be living and just having fun.

Cheers to seeing old friends and feeling like nothing has changed at all. Iris has been a long time friend of mine since my high school days, has been on hiatus for a while and a really close friend of mine bumped into her while she was on a vacation in Asia. (Very small world) Its scary, haha!

Anyway, going back to the topic of “everyone’s a model” I mentioned the idea to her and she was very excited about the idea and we decided to give it a go. The shoot was quite last minute and we both can’t decide on how I would shoot her and where. Thanks to the unpredictable Vancouver weather, it started snowing in the middle of the shoot and light suddenly became dark. We were both freezing our asses of, trying to keep it cool (literally and figuratively). Iris suggested a park near her place and that’s where we went.

So here are some of the shots!

She really wanted a photo with the swing and might I say it turned out pretty darn well.

Candid smiling shot, did someone fart? LOL!!!

Staring into somewhere, can make a great stock photo.

Last two photos could be used for an advert for boots.

So as you can see, this was a last minute shoot, nothing really planned, weather was against us and we still managed to pull off some amazing photos!

Jiwon and Ryan

Now here’s the lovely newlyweds of just over a year. They have their cute dog named Ritchie who’s very hyper and who greeted me right away when I entered the couple’s home.

It was very clear that they love their dog a lot, they couldn’t stop playing with Ritchie while we were doing our shoot. I didn’t mind it at all as well as it made them feel comfortable while I was taking their photos. Jiwon actually mentioned to me that this photoshoot session reminded her of their wedding photos. They got it done in Korea and got over 2,000 photos taken. She even said “our eyelids we’re twitching at the end of it because we were trying to smile the whole time” and I just responded with a laugh. I told her that the life of a model isn’t actually easy, they make it look easy and comfortable but it does take a lot of skill and she agreed.

After a while, I got the couple to feel a bit more comfortable and got a few snaps of them smiling and not worrying too much about the camera in front of them. I was getting much more organic photos and you can probably tell from the photos as well.

And here comes the money shot of the couple. Both laughing and smiling while playing with their tablets. I couldn’t quite remember what we were talking about and why they we’re laughing but you can tell that it was a good one.

These set of photos could possibly be used in a lifestyle magazine or in a catalogue like IKEA. Regular couple who have no experience in modeling yet the results show that it can be done.

So here we are, I tried to start a mini project but I haven’t gone quite through with it. But now, I do promise to be a bit more consistent. I will start with my own photo that I took a while back when I was bored.

Poser

I am not the most photogenic person in this world, which just goes to show that everyone’s a model.

First few photo proofs

Here are some Models that I have encountered on my walk today.

Please notice that these are normal people going about their normal lives. None of these photos were planned nor were they even aware of the shots being taken of them.

This might seem “stalker-ish” but this was just done to prove so that in regular attire and in our regular stature without even posing, everyone’s a model.

This is one of the few photos that I have taken today and you could probably say that she’s maybe “out of the ordinary” type of mom. She’s a model in her own right.

He’s just relaxed, sitting down and drinking his coffee. Grandpa still has it going on…

Need I say more?

As you can tell, these photos were all taken in the same street while I was just taking a stroll and I didn’t choose these people specifically. They just happened to be in front of me and I snapped a photo of them. This was all random shots and everyone’s a Model as it looks.
