Joyce Take #1&2 - Behind the scene

2009-04-04T01:41:00.004+08:00

以上旁述全是玩笑，如有不安，请自队几野。。。哈哈！

Joyce take#1

2009-04-01T23:35:00.008+08:00

Joyce is a very optimistic, cheerful girl. Independent with interests in photography and travelling, she adores nature. Hence, in this series of portraits, she plays the “Fun” character element.
Snug in a bath robe looking at her reflection in the mirror, she smiles radiantly alike a blossoming flower attracting many butterflies looking for honey. Her smile symbolizes her drive to enjoy life naturally. Even when contact lenses are put on, a simple gesture would make everything more meaningful.

Joyce 是一个很乐观、开朗活泼的女孩，生活比较独立，兴趣摄影与旅行，喜欢追求大自然的一个人，所以在这系列里扮演着“乐”的角色。
她穿着浴袍面向镜子，看见自己，不经意的绽放出灿烂明媚的笑容，宛如一朵盛开着的花儿，吸引许多蝴蝶蜜蜂向前来寻找花蜜。她的笑容，象征着自己积极的，自然的享受生活，即使是带一副隐形眼镜，一个普通的举子，也使一切变得更有意义。
Take #1

Take #2

Notes: This is the debut photo shoot for Joyce, discovered that she’s a natural talent. Many of her photos are usable, but in the end choosing this shot as it brings out her warm smile, full with a refreshing natural feeling. Believe that this is the start of many good photos.

后记：第一次真正拍joyce，发觉她的所有动作都很自然，在她的照片，几乎很多张都能用，最后选了这张能带出淡淡地笑容，很有清新自然的感觉，相信接下来的照片会更好。

Joselin Take #2

Notes: This photo shoot went on very smoothly, although this scene took a while to complete with Joselin already crying for help with the smoking part. However, the results were satisfying and many thanks to the many hardworking crew members for the night.

As we move into the second take of every character, we will not be giving out too many descriptions, enabling all of our readers to slowly but surely piece out the entire storyline. But of course, don’t jump into conclusions till all of the photos are completed for a conclusion. Give the production crew some time for more inspiring work!

后记：这次拍摄非常的顺利，虽然这个scene花了很多时间，Joselin吸烟也喊救命了，不过出来的效果也让人相当的满意，非常感谢当晚非常落力的成员！

由每个主角的第二张开始我们都不会加入太多描述，让大家慢慢组织整个故事，当然，还需要大家等待所有照片都好了才能有一个总结，给我们时间吧！

Joselin-A day in the life of… 日常生活篇

2009-03-13T11:03:00.009+08:00

Joselin is stubborn, wild and emotionally complicated. Her interest is in dance. Amongst the 4 young women, she plays the big sister role, also the sexier individual who likes nightlife and the ironlady at work, hence portraying the “Anger” character element.
Playing snooker is the choice activity at night, her gaze of concentration indicates that she enjoys winning. Just like in the heat of war, the cue stick in her grasp is like a rifle, zooming into the enemy, taking the perfect aim to claim her prize of war.
Although it’s a time of relaxation, it is difficult to subdue her inner angst.

Joselin,野性、狂野，感情生活复杂，兴趣为舞蹈，四人当中她演着大姐大的角色，也是最为性感，爱夜生活的办公室女强人，此系列她演“怒”一角。
打桌球是她夜生活的普通消遣，她专注的目光流露出好胜的一面，犹如变成煞气冲天的一场战役，她手上握着的棒子就像将士提着的枪械，瞄准俘虏进行扫射，成为她的战胜品。
虽然是松懈的时候，内心的不愤却难以遮掩。

Notes: It was not easy taking shots of Joselin. As it was vital to capture the “Anger” character element in her, but not too exaggerated as it would not be natural. Hence, its necessary for her to carry a soft smile but bring out the impatience and angst in her eyes, which brings out the subdued side of anger in her.
This scene, needing her to be in position for snooker may put her in a “compromising” poses, however she is more expressive is not fluttered by the finer details. It is our heartfelt appreciation for Joselin’s cooperation for the photo shoot. Although not a professional model, she has a very good attitude which should be much applauded and encouraged!

后记：
要拍Joselin也并不容易，因为要带出她的“怒”的一面，不过又不能太夸张，要不然就不自然了，所以脸部也会带些微笑，只是让她的眼神有点煞气，而带出隐藏在心里愤怒的一面。
这一幕要求她趴下来打桌球，我们成员里有些人还提醒Joselin叫她要注意，很细心哦！其实这一幕就是要她带出她比较豪放性感的一面，因为一般上这样的女孩都比较豪放，所以她们都不会太在意，也非常感谢Joselin很愿意的配合，虽然都不是专业模特儿，不过也非常有专业精神，应该掌声鼓励鼓励！

2nd take - Jo’s interests “好好”第二张作品 - Jo的兴趣

2009-03-11T04:54:00.009+08:00

Once upon a night, Jo was on the stage of the restaurant which she works at. Sitting on a high chair, hands on the guitar, singing a soothing tune. Her expression was slightly hurtful, very absorbed into the role, observed by 2 good friends supporting her amongst the crowd.

画面描述：
(S03C兴趣篇)
某个晚上，Jo在自己工作的餐厅的台上，坐在椅子上，手弹着吉他，唱着抒情的歌，表情带点哀伤的，很投入的感觉，当时有两位很要好的朋友也到来捧场。

Notes: The previous photo attracted many unselfish comments and thoughts from everyone. That was much appreciated as it encouraged everybody in the team. We hope that everybody can offer more comments, be it good or bad, we would accept any feedback to improve on the following photo shoots, hopefully coming out with better work, thanks…

This photo was also taken at Feeling Café, thanks for allowing us to have the photo shoot there. Thanks to Marcus for the lighting equipment, especially the one at the back. Also appreciate William and Kuan’s effort in helping to blow out “dry ice”, helping to create the smoky effect and Gradient as it was very difficult to source for the dry ice, which is not readily available these days…

后记：
之前那张很多人都好不吝啬的给与意见，非常的感谢，给了我们大家很大的鼓励，希望大家可以多一点上来发表，无论是好或不好的评语，我们都愿意接受，而在下一次的拍摄更能加于改善，拍出更好的作品，谢谢大家。。。

这张照片也是在Feeling Cafe里拍摄，也非常感谢他们当时没有阻止我们移动他们的舞台，嘻嘻！很感谢marcus的灯光制造，尤其是后面的那一盏，也很感谢William与Kuan当时很落力的帮忙吹干冰，制造那些烟的效果，也很感谢Gradient很辛苦的才找到干冰，现在的日子，也真的非常难找到了。。。

1st take is finally out of the oven!! “好好”第一张作品出炉了！

2009-03-08T21:18:00.012+08:00

Jo is an emotionally driven girl, hence potraying the “Sorrow” character element.
On a particular night, as it was raining gently outside, she lifts up the wine glass on the dinner table, carefully tasting the fine wine served. She gazed out of the window into the rain, it was as if there was this indescribable impatience creeping out, making the silent rainy night not peaceful anymore. Her date was quiet as the atmosphere was like winter with the uninteresting topics of conversation. Rain beads were all over the window glass pane, reflecting the neon signs and street lights. Together with the weak light in the restaurant, there was this sense of sadness and unexplainable hollowness.

画面描述：
（S01C 窗外篇）
Jo，是个感性的女孩，此系列饰演“哀”一角。
某个晚上，下起绵绵细雨，她轻轻地拿起餐桌上的一杯红酒，尝试细心品尝涩而不苦的红酒。她带着忧郁的眼神眺望外出的雨景，仿佛她心里有种说不出的无奈渐渐地涌现出来，恰似使平静的夜雨不再平静。相约好的男生也毫无情趣、无聊的话题使气氛冷得像身处在摄氏零度以下的冬季里。玻璃窗口都沾满了雨滴，反影着外面的霓虹灯和路灯，再加上餐厅里的微微弱光，是否增添了一丝丝的忧伤和一种难以形容的缺陷美呢？

特写：

Notes: This was the first actual photo shoot. Many thanks to the ever hardworking crew, as most of the team members were present to help out. Seeing that everybody is participating and teamwork is high, was very happy as this was very rare and deserved some encouragement, especially when we successfully recreated a night scene in the morning. Not to mention the raining scene and the glass of “wine” which was mixed by Kuan and the crew, all of which was very ideal.
As this is the first actual, I am very impressed as the results were beyond my expectations. This is the result of everybody’s hard work, thanks!! Besides this, we would also like to thank Feeling Café for allowing us to run the photo shoot at their location with their helpful employees.
Hope we will be able to progress to the 2nd scene as soon as possible. Keep up the good work, guys!

后记：
第一次真正的拍摄，大家都非常落力，大部分组员都有到来帮忙，看到大家都分工合作得非常愉快的，非常开心的，真的非常难得，值得赞扬一番的！加油！尤其是我们很成功的把早上朔造出晚上的效果，还有那个雨景，看起来非常理想，很好！差一点忘了Kuan他们一伙人所调出来的“红酒”，嘻嘻！

关于第一次的拍摄，我非常地满意，出来了效果出乎我的预料，这些都是大家的功劳，谢谢大家！除了这些，我们也非常感谢Feeling Cafe能借出这个场地让我们拍摄，他们的工作人员也给了我们很好的配合，在此非常感谢他们！

很希望能尽快进行第二场，大家继续加油！

“好好”的第一次试拍 - Joyce

2009-02-25T02:59:00.006+08:00

这系列跟之前Josline的不一样，想要带出另一种比较开朗的感觉，所以颜色方面都是偏于原色，比较艳丽的色彩，希望大家会喜欢。。。

之前有些人给了些意见，都觉得不能太接受Josline的那种色调，因为那是要看完整套才能真正了解到要带出的感觉，加上照片需要个别去看，如果单张看的话，相信大家比较能接受，希望大家能耐心的看，去思考，在此也非常谢谢愿意给于意见的朋友，也希望大家能继续支持我们，谢谢！

现在大家再看看Joyce这系列，再强调，这是都只是预拍而已，都不是真正的作品，希望大家能明白。。。

“好好”的第一次试拍

2009-02-22T20:08:00.012+08:00

21'02'2009

由于我们美术组很难用幻想力去画出构图，我们决定会先来试拍，先把每个构图简单的拍摄出来，过后再商量用哪一个女生来表达照片里的感觉，所以就安排了今天的试拍。

预料之外的今天有7个工作人员到来，3个临时模特儿出席，他们就是Gradient, Marcus, Choo Kuan, 3sung, Chao Siang, Ming Kang, Alan， Josline, Joyce 以及 Yik Kuan。这次的试拍我们决定在最容易找到景色的Perdana Lake Garden。

这次的试拍进行得非常顺利，每个人都很开心，也学习到很多的东西，如如何用反光板，如何构图等等。。。Choo Kuan 也不断的在当场画构图，我们的组长也很搞笑的教导模特儿们如何摆pose以达到更自然更生活性的动作，逗得工作人员们嘻哈大笑的！还有摄影师Marcus也非常卖力的在拍，还趴在地上呢！果然够专业！需要一赞的时我们道具组的Chao Siang也服务周到，一到就自动去买水来给大家喝，应该赞扬一下！

大约花了三个小时，已经来到中午了，每个人都喊肚子饿了，所以我们都收工了，我们一共拍了5个镜头，第一次，也算非常好了！相信现在我们的构图很快可以完成了！

以下先送上几张Josline的，其他的陆续会来。。。

（跟之前有点不同了，经过组长与摄影师商量后，觉得想带出另一种感觉，所以颜色改变了，看过的人希望能在看多一次，谢谢！）

ISO的第一个计划 - “好好”

2009-02-20T17:26:00.002+08:00

组长前言：

多年来我有一个概念，我看到很多摄影师拍的少女写真都围绕在沙龙作风，就是说找一个模特儿，进入摄影棚，或者选择一个地点外拍，当然，拍出来的作品肯定都很美，这都是摄影师的功夫，女孩的美丽，化装的效果。。。当很多人看这些照片的时候，第一个注意的就是里面主角有多么的漂亮，多么的美艳，几乎都把摄影师所花的如构图，曝光率，调色等的心机全把抛在后面了，所以很多时候那张照片漂亮完全是模特儿的功劳了。

而我就喜欢逆行而走，也许这是跟我的性格有关系吧，我一直以来很希望能拍出一些作品是让人先看构图，调色，气氛，才延伸到模特儿的配搭，对我来说，这才是一个真正好的作品。

到了最近，我才能有多一些时间去思考，去真正实行。当我打算走出第一步，我决定把它们拍成一个系列的，一系列的少女照，我想做到很生活性的，让看的人不觉得是模特儿所摆出来的pose，希望能用很自然，很生活化的手法，看的时候，会给人一种很生动的感觉，就像电影一样，不过发觉这样的作品不是一个人能够完成的，所以就找了一班朋友组成了这个团体：In-Sight-Out。

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

经过一伙人花了好几次的讨论，我们决定把这系列可以编成一个故事，就像拍电影那样，不同的是用照片呈现出来而已。故事的内容是描述四个女生生活的点点滴滴，这四个女生来自不同背景，不同思想，不同性格，不同兴趣，不同遭遇，不同的人生，不过很奇妙的是，他们都有一个共同点，他们都喜欢艺术，一个喜欢音乐，喜欢弹钢琴；一个喜欢跳舞画画，一个喜欢唱歌，另一个喜欢摄影，也因为这一点，他们成为了好朋友。。。

就因为这样，会出现四个不一样风格，色彩，感觉的照片，以能符合她们之间不一样的性格，最后也会呈现一些她们聚集在一起的照片，让大家能看到她们之间的友谊。。。

经过讨论过后，我们决定把这个作品名称为：“好好”

我们也非常希望“好好”将来除了照片以外，也能制成手册、小品或e-book，或甚至电影。。。

Logo出炉了！

2009-02-18T17:59:00.002+08:00

20/2/2009

Logo finally completed!

Finally after about 2 months, the In-Sight-Out logo is complete, fresh out of the oven!

The important theme of In-Sight-Out is to use a humanistic, lifestyle driven approach to photography, hence, in the logo, you would be able to see the outline of a person, not to mention the outline of the age old Chinese character (REN) which means “human”. To each their own as a quick survey of opinions showed: some would say that the outlined figure is taking a photograph; some would say it’s dancing… The red circle in the middle represents the eye of the lens of the camera, which complements the very purpose of In-Sight-Out, the capability of insight from the inside out.

In terms of color selection, grey and red was used. Grey is a monotonous color, which brings out the simplicity which is a basic characteristic that human life should possess. Red symbolizes a focal point, alike the center of focus through the lens of a camera. Red is a sensitive color, the color which is the fastest to come in contact with the human eye. It is also one of the primary colors examined in the study of color. Red also symbolizes passion and ability, just like our team of dedicated photographers…

经过两个多月的时间，In-Sight-Out的logo终于出炉了。。。
In-Sight-Out这组合的主要动向是利用一种较为人性及生活化的摄影手法为主要风格，所以logo里出现一个人的外形，加上也呈现出一个中文字“人”，看上去可以让大家去猜想那人的动作，经过访问，有些人觉得就像一个人正在拍照，有些人觉得像在跳舞。。。中间那圆形代表着眼睛或相机镜头，符合了In-Sight-Out的含义，由内到外的洞察能力。

色彩方面采用了灰色与红色，灰色是属于无彩色，带出回归简单朴素的人性原有生活特质；红色是代表焦点，就如用相机里的对焦屏对焦颜色，红色也是人类最敏感，眼睛最快接触的颜色，色彩学里最原始颜色之一；红色也代表了热诚，能力，就如同我们这一班成员。。。

Formation of the team 组合成立

2009-01-06T15:49:00.012+08:00

1/1/2009

“In-Sight-Out” is finally formed, known in short as “I.S.O”, its meaning is deriving insights from the inside out, which is in line with every team member’s attempt to incorporate creative and artistic elements into portrait photography.

By establishing this team, we have an objective of adding more artistic elements to a fresh angle of lifestyle themed photography. This concept is actually the norm overseas; however it is something that photographers in Malaysia rarely choose to go for. We hope that we can be catalysts in this area of photography through our works of art which we call as “Living Style Photography”.

After a discussion, we have agreed that we will only accept 12 members, focusing on the following simple entry requirements as listed below:

* Equipped with a good artistic sense
* Knowledge of basic photography knowledge
* Responsible
* Serious in handling work
* Honest
* Forgiving
* Willing to work hard for the extra mile

我们这组合终于成立了，名字称为“In-Sight-Out”，简称“I.S.O.”，意思是由内到外的洞察能力，以配合大家能把设计艺术的元素加入摄影学里。

我们成立这组合的目的是想通过一种以人性生活化为本的摄影方式再加入多一些美术因素，以呈现出另一种风格的作品，这种风格其实在外国都很普遍，只是在本地鲜少摄影师采用。我们希望通过我们的作品，能让本地摄影出现多一种风格。我们简称“Living Style Photography”。

经过会议商讨后，我们一致赞成只录取12位成员，加入成员的条件非常简单，只需要以下几项条件：

- 富有审美观
- 懂得摄影的基本知识
- 有责任感
- 做事认真
- 坦白
- 宽容
- 刻苦耐劳

Back up member 后备成员：
13. Bobby Lau

If there are any others who are interested to join us, you are always welcome; but you will tentatively be one of our back up members. Although you won’t be getting accreditation for the completed photos, there are plenty of opportunities to study and practice photography techniques. However, in the event that if an existing member quits or is required to leave the team for whatever reasons, the back up members will be nominated to replace the core team members.

The accreditation for all finished works of art will belong to those who possess the self discipline needed to go through the planned activities. Team members can opt to quit at any time. As long as members are not present for 2 consecutive meetings, no matter what reasons are given, will have their membership revoked, and will be replaced from the back up member list.

如有其他人有兴趣加入我们这个阵容，也非常欢迎，只不过只能成为我们的后备成员，并不能享有最终的成就荣誉，好处是可以有机会学习关于摄影技术，不过如果中途有某个成员放弃，就会直接补上其位子成为正式成员。

所有作品成就荣誉只优待于那些能坚持完成计划的成员，成员可以随时要求退出，凡是连续两次没参加会议者，无论以任何理由，一律直接被取消成员资格，另外让后备成员补上。
