Bridal isn't something that I typically photograph. But narrative and cinematic fashion is. So when the very lovely Faz -- who styled many of my favourite shoots, including Sin Palace and Golden Age -- offered me a chance to shoot with her for Singapore Brides, I had to say yes.
The shoot idea that Faz and I came up with was suburban-housewife-doing-mundane-tasks-around-town-in-a-wedding-dress; a simple idea with a slight social commentary on marriage and managing the day-to-day tasks of a household.
Assisted by Zam (Photographer's Assistant), Iggy (Stylist's Assistant) Dewi Mahoney (Make-up) and Ash Loi (Hair), we photographed the series in Singapore's Bedok neighbourhood.
It was a lot of fun to shoot this spread in such a public sphere, and (for once) not be concerned about people standing in the frame, staring at the camera or generally being part of the photograph.
Here are three images that didn't make the final cut for the spread (but I like a lot, anyway). See the whole feature online at Singapore Brides.
