zero2hero Season 6

Posted by | Posted in Personal, Photography, Portraits | Posted on 21 Jul 2009

Once again, I have the opportunity to photograph a bunch of talented youths. I’m so excited about this that I can’t help but to finish editing them as soon as I can. My friends from Vertical Care Services (VCS) invited me to help photograph some of the band shots for Zero2Hero Season 6. If you have read my blog entry back in February, I posted some photos from Season 5. This time round, I was in charge of taking some individual shots for each of the band members.

I didn’t know that shooting by the beach can be such hard work. Look at my Crocs slippers! I think I have to get a new pair after this.

Thanks to James and Gerald for inviting me. Here is a photo of James from 14-85. (Sorry Gerald, didn’t get to take a photo of you earlier!)

Thanks to my lovely assistant, Eunice, for helping out. She’s a star and I can’t say enough to thank her for helping me hold the light throughout the shoot. Thanks for enduring my many requests and not complaining a single bit!

Here is a photo of Eunice hard at work.

Zero to Hero (Z2H) is a community programme by Vertical Care Services (VCS) towards the enrichment of youths in the area of music.

Many youths today have great interest in music, but they may not have the finances or resources to help them grow and discover their talents in this area.  Hence, Z2H, as the name describes, was chosen to transform youths from not knowing much about music, nor being able to play much of a musical instrument, into a youth band performing to their family and friends.

Z2H goes beyond the learning of music to the ability to play as a band.  This requires teamwork, camaraderie, and a whole host of other life skills to be learnt. For more information about Z2H, click here. Already on Facebook.com? Visit the group to check out the latest news, awesome photos and great people!

I’m back to editing more wedding photos. Hope to share them with you soon!

  1. Amazing photos, Ian, I love the head banging shots.

  2. Hey, I just love the photos! Especially the use of off camera flash outdoors. How many flashes were there in the softbox? it looks pretty powerful.

  3. Thanks Grace! ;)

    Anonymous of anonymous.com, only one flash was used.
