It was showtime!! Miss Indian International 2012 journey began with a photo & video shoot at Singapore Flyer. The girls were thrilled, excited and joyful. After the auditions at Pan Pacific Orchard on 10th Dec 2011, the first batch of girls were selected. Those successful were contacted. Some were expecting it, others could not believe they were selected, resulting in screams of joy. To our surprise, some parents called us back, offering their appreciation for giving their daughter an opportunity. These contestants started posting messages online almost immediately. Congratulatory messages and words of encouragement started to pop-up on various social media sites.
To the organising team, the challenge was to make the photo and video shoot scheduled for the 14 Dec [4 days after the auditions] equally, if not more, exhilarating. The idea was to do a photo shoot soon after announcing the result, to capture the excitement in all the girls. Sure enough, we did. The joy in the girls was very evident when they started to gather at the Bayview Room, Singapore Flyer. Their faces glowing with excitement but the mood was one of a mix of anxiety, uncertainty and even apprehension. Many were trying to hide it but it was all too obvious. Guidance was key. Most of the girls meeting for the first time. After the pleasantries and a short orientation, the make over started. The make up team, lead by Sarah Chaudhry, got into action. When the girls took their seat for the makeover, the team transformed them and styled their hair, ready for the photo shoot. Soon, Billy and Julian, the photographers, starting snapping away. The heavy downpour did place a damper on the plans, but not the spirit. Hence, the photo shoot did go on, after a few adjustments to the original plan. Each girl given a touch up and make-up artist consulted before each shot was taken. It was all too professional for the young beauties but they loved it all, as much as we did. The comments on their respective profile and fan page are evident of their excitement.
The first photo shoot has been made into a three part video. First of which is entitled "The Make Over"
We could not thank the people at Singapore Flyer and Flight Experience enough for their support and sponsorship.
This is going to be an enriching experience, indeed !!

ReplyDeleteMost Awesomest Experience for me. Very first time doing a photoshoot, was very very nervous! Initially I couldnt seem to get the pose right for indoor photoshoot, Sashi had to try different ways and technique to make sure i get it right. Finally I got it right when she said "BOOM!". Everytime Sashi striked a pose,I will try to copy and follow, from behind. So many poses, I wondered how she would come up with it. Jay and Sashi would never fail to drop us tips and advice for us. I know for sure I have alot of homework to do. I cant wait for more!! Hope to learn and improve and do my best everytime.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the opportunity
