While I was swiping images taken in during the "close-door" TCWPhotography's Studio before Lunar festive season commenced. Find this particular shot drawing my attention, so zoomed in just and look at their lovely expression. I suddenly find it this could be a very good wallpaper too (in my humble opinion), so leaving this cropped version on my wireless white doughnut charger.

 

From the angle I looked at it, I find it very interesting perspective, so decided to take up my iPhone 6s and shot, so this shot considerably taken unprepared and unintentionally. After 2 shots attempted, I find the first shot somehow got its potential to process further. I then started to do processing on my iPhone X, the result was good but the "wallpaper" on the phone horrible distorted.

 

Because it was taken from the iPhone 6s, AirDrop over to iPhone X to process further with the limited editing tools could jeopardize the image quality, I am talking about the little tiny things here. I then decided to AirDrop over to my MacBook Pro, utilizing the full features of Lightroom and Photoshop to salvage the shot.

 

By using the original couple image (from iPhone X, which already got AirDrop into MacBook Pro) select the crop section which is the same length and height as per the "wallpaper", then bring it over to the Photoshop over and started to erase those unwanted borders and I am quite satisfied when zoomed in the end result of the couple image would be as clear as possible.

 

The entire process consumes a few hours from taking random test shot until the final product. Keep doing trial and error to get the final result that I wanted, I always having this issue, once started the task I will only stop when the result meets my expectation. Luckily it is only 1 image, else not sure I have the patience to do mass production like this fashion.

It is super rare to see the professional photographer himself taking his own portraits not to mention their couple shots, I truly honour and given the opportunity to do the courtesy. In the meantime let them experience how the usual couple facing in front of cameras, lenses, not forget the postures, facial expression and etc before pressing the shuttle. It was a wonderful experience for all of us, am always grateful and treasure to have such a friendship. If there is a chance in the future, probably we can try something spontaneous photography again.

 

Note: This shot was taken by iPhone 6s, when I first show wifey she told me this shot looks so instagramable... So I've decided published it on my flickr for the first time. The only thing I regret is I should have shoot this via DSLR instead of smartphone.
