To Some This Photo Shoot Is Already A Lifetime Experience - Here Are The Ladies.
Most thought is was going to be a conventional pageant photo shoot session, but it turned out to be better than they thought. All were told to come without any make-up, but some took no heed. However, they were quick to remove their make-up. Fortunately, they were also equipped with their own make-up remover. With all the ladies dolled up, our shutter bugs were eager to get clicking. With all the girls in their "uniform", white top and blue denim jeans, it was not difficult to match the background with their outfit. Simplicity was the buzz word and we knew it was difficult to go wrong with simplicity. Especially so for first timers.
After the make-over, each lady came out wearing a fresh look and hairstyle. Feeling zesty and transformed. We wanted the shots to be as original and raw as possible. Hence, no effort has been made to edit or polish any photograph. Afterall, this is only the beginning of a fairly long journey. It was clear to the team that once the confidence starts to build, the desired look will reveal itself. Miss Indian International 2012 is about challenging the abilities of each lady to go beyond the norm, to bring out the best in them without losing focus on the original slogan which illustrates the pageant's concept of timeless beauty......inner beauty.
From the word go, a brief brilliant flood of light took control of everyone's attention as it did the Bayview Room. We were ready to guide, coach and cajole in order to get that one expression captured on camera at each stage. Indoor shoot was nervy indeed, but when it came to the outdoors, fun and frolic really started and their cheekiness began to unfold. All in good spirit even when the weather turned on us all.
The mission for the day was to ensure everyone had their head, full body and action photo shots. As this was a first, we did not expect too much but we were trying to create the look we were trying to get. That said, we know it will take more sessions to capture the personality we desire from each contestant. It will only get better.
If there was one feature we managed to capture, it has to be their smile. Hence the video is aptly titled "The Smile".
