A Night Out!

Someone recently asked me what I do besides work. I couldn’t give an answer. Seems like work has swallowed me whole.

And then last night I watched a movie that flashed a series of black and white photos during the credit roll. It hit me like a bus. Black and white! My roots!

I needed to get back to my roots.

When I first learned photography, I processed the film (yes, film) in the bathroom of my old house. I was in my early twenties, and I can still remember the actual photos and when and where I took them and how I processed them. I can’t remember last week, but I can remember that!

So I told my favorite model, good ole Lipton Jayawickrama, we were going on a photo shoot tonight after dark. He wasn’t all that thrilled, but I stomped my foot, pouted and shouted a bit and he finally agreed – all that got us into a really great mood to take photos! But you know, when I pick up the camera I automatically feel great and even Lipton got into it by trying to direct my shooting. Always the director.

Enjoy the start of me getting back to my roots. Share them!

I love the shadow on this!

Colorful Hindu Wedding and Homecoming! Yea Again for Google!

Isabel and Ravi came to Sri Lanka from Switzerland to have their Hindu wedding in super style. They contacted us through Google! Yea again for Google!

It was a 2-day affair. The first day was the traditional Hindu wedding ceremony, which is always fun because it’s colorful, filled with the music of drums and small trumpets, the hustle of activity on the Hindu wedding stage, the Manavarai, where the priest conducts the traditional ceremony for the bridal couple, and lots of comings and goings of family members.

Their second day event was a full-on Homecoming reception with family and friends; with lighting the oil lamp, cutting the cake, toasts, dancing and lots of fun!

We did both the photography and the videography for both days. Watch below. Please share!

Enjoy!!

Super Sexy Swimsuit Model Shoot!

I received an email on Saturday requesting us to do a shoot for two European swimsuit models staying down in Weligama as they travel around SE Asia. They wanted the shoot to happen the next day, Sunday, or Monday at the latest as they were leaving Sri Lanka on Tuesday. How’s that for short notice!

They found us on Google. Yea! for Google and for doing business over the internet!

After several emails back and forth, we worked out a time on Monday (as Lipton was busy with an all-day shoot on Sunday) and the price of the shoot. Everyone was happy. Lipton had a wedding video shoot to do on Monday evening and I knew he’d be tired working from 6:30am until Midnight, but I saw pictures of the models on the covers of Playboy Germany and I knew he would love taking their photos!

You look at the photos he took and tell me if you think he loved doing the shoot!

Spoiler alert: This is a swimsuit shoot! With bikini models! Oh, and some yoga shots...
