Harman’s 40th Birthday

Amit Bhatia — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 15:35:03 +0000

I know i know! It’s been far too long since my last post. I apologize. The past few weeks have been crazy busy both with photography and of course, much needed leisure time from work – India for a cousin’s wedding, then USA for my best friend’s wedding.

I received a call sometime in November to shoot a birthday party. The deal: 25 “loud” adults….at a posh French restaurant…”challenging”. Went there promptly at 7.30pm and little did I realize how dimly lit this place was. Seriously, I would’ve hyper-ventilated in the past but the trusty Nikon D3 proved to be most handy in this circumstance. All in all, it was a fun-filled night – you can tell from the pics that Harman and friends had a blast!

Prerna & Lawrence

Prens and Lawrence are getting married! Woohoo! For this photoshoot, we wanted to do something ultra casual to really showcase those two love birds as themselves. The only drawback was that we started off too late in the morning around 11am (coz some people wanted to sleep in! ). That’s when the sun is high and too strong. Any photographer will tell you that the key to good outdoor shoots is good lighting…so waking up early to “catch the sun” is worth every bit the sacrifice. In any case, I’m really happy that they’ve found each other – truly an answer to a prayer! Congrats once again guys!

Dilshen’s 6th Birthday

Dilshen is one blessed kid I tell ya! Dressed in F1 gear, accompanied by a magic show, transformers cake, movie tickets for all the families – his parents went all out to prepare the ultimate birthday party. Those kids carried such joy, innocence, laughter, excitement…check out the pics and you’ll see it in their faces. Here’s to wonderful parents and to their wonderful son…Happy Birthday Dilshen!

A Quick Note & Brunch

I just wanted to take a quick second and write a short note : it’s been a busy past few weeks and yes, I’m aware that I’m behind my blogging. I do have other shoots backed up in the queue to post but it might take some time. Things have been picking up. I’ve received a couple of offers for weddings/family shoots…fingers crossed, more will come by. Here are some (non-official) shots that I took 2 weeks ago during the long Diwali weekend.

Ben & Hannah

Ben & Hannah’s wedding reception has got to be one of the best I’ve attended. There was a warmth and special touch to it – the Fullerton ballroom was stunning, the MC, speeches, video tribute, and of course the beautiful newly weds…everything came together very well. I was a guest and seeing that I wouldn’t know anyone there, I shamelessly suggested to Ben the idea of taking some photographs along with his official photographer, Ash. I really didn’t want to be bogged down with all my heavy equipment so I used the light and trustworthy 50mm lens. Wedding photography is a different deal compared to outdoor shoots. You need to constantly adapt to the different lighting and simply cannot afford to miss the special moments. Was a great learning experience and I know exactly what gear I’m going to buy for my next assignment (24-70mm!). Many congrats to you Ben & Hannah!

The Nehals

Last month I had the awesome privilege of doing a family photo shoot for my beautiful friends, Jasjit & Sarbjit and their little one, Kabir. I’ve known them for a loooonnng time – over 15 yrs! Amazing how our friendship has just grown closer over the years.

They’ve been keen on doing a photoshoot for a while now and we’ve had various discussions over the past few months. Last month we finally set out to meet on an early Sunday morning at the Botanical Gardens. We walked around for a bit before finding our spot at the little white gazebo – such fond memories of playing there when I was a kid. Kabir was excited as always, running and jumping around (not bad for an early Sunday morning huh?!). Barely an hour into the photo-shoot, it started to rain!!! We took shelter at the gazebo which turned out to be ok – got some decent shots there too. Below is the end result – check it out and let me know what you think.

Some of my favourite shots…

The single kid was back…but not for long!

Nieces

Visited Raj and Rakhee and their lovely kids (my lovely nieces!). Just look at how adorable the three of them are. What an amazingly blessed family!

Shauna

Puja, Kiran and Baby Shauna visited from Australia. It’s been a year since I last saw them and man, has Shauna grown! She’s begun to talk a lot more…funny how kids make up their own lingo along the way. Everytime she sees a dog (real-life, cartoon, picture, etc), she says “Patupa”. Go figure!
