Hannah Tan Promo Shoot in Genting
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while you should know I’ve shot Hannah Tan quite a few times in an events setting, the first time (when I got to know her) was the Hannah Tan Private Session at Mardi Gras (1-Utama) where she later found my pics and blog post and e-mailed to thank me for the pics and find out if she could perhaps use some of them for a magazine interview.
Shortly after that I shot a portrait session with her (yes it was that long ago) for some promo shots she could use for premiums, a while after that I shot Live and Loud where she sang.
Then in 2008 there was the Intimate Acoustic Session with Hannah Tan at Somo, Mon’t Kiara and well that’s just about my Hannah Tan history.
Anyway if you’ve received any of her gift CDs, postcards, calendar or seen her buntings at events you will have seen some of these pictures.
This shot seems to be well liked, it was used as a full page broadsheet spread in Berita Harian (front page of the youth/entertainment section HIP).
I like this one, it made me think of some funky kind of Japanese album cover.
This is more of your typical moody strobist shot.
This is one of my personal favourites, I printed it out and framed it and gave it to her as a xmas present.
This is an image she seems to like a lot, she uses it on her buntings and some other promo material.
This one too is her xmas postcard and used on the website and on the gift CD.
And to finish this one, which worked out just nice.
It was a good shoot all in all, got some images that I wanted and Hannah was really great to work with (she even bought us Baskin Robbins!). I did lose my GF Lightsphere on the shoot..which I was a bit gutted about. But never mind!
I contributed one of my shots to Creative Commons for the Wiki entry on Hannah too here.
I have to say this one of my first photoshoots where it was under my artistic direction and it was good, I really enjoyed it. Not to mention Genting is still one of my favourite places to shoot as it’s not so bloody hot and humid up there.
It’s much more pleasant.
There were quite a lot of other shots, but the above are the ones I like and have been well used in the media. I finally got around to uploading them as I thought there’s no point taking them if no one gets to see them right!
Anyway you can see the full set on Flickr here:
I’ve finally got my Facebook Portolio sorted out too, for Portraits anyway – Events and Travel to come later. Come be a fan!

That is awesome, she looks so good in photos – or you’re just excellent! The side profile one of her makes her look like Carmen Soo, the one she uses in buntings. Excellento!
Using
Nice pics…and she is gorgeous too!
I’m so jealous too! She has so many of ed hardy! =(
I want one too!
Using
Looking good. I’m glad she’s out of her pink & white phase. Hahah.
Using
is this for ed hardy? most of the apparels were from there..
Using
Dude, i think you’ve found your calling in life – why not go pro or open your own studio?
Using
wait i’m confused. are this in studio photos or what?
photo 2 & 3 – i like. really gorgeous. where’s the place with so much flowers??
Using
Hannah Tan is really pretty! I’ve met her once before completely randomly, and she was really sweet too.
Using
She definitely looks gorgeous.
Your shots are just awesome. Seeing all the fabulous shots just make me feel the itch to learn photography for self satisfaction.
Keep it up ST.
Using
Did you make her put on that tiger outfit? lol
Using
Awesome ST! Both Hannah and your photography. I’ve recently been motivated to try and take better shots with the dSLR too. Cheers!
Using
trying to pin out which picture i like most but can’t. i think i have to say i like the model most lar.
Using
Excellent shots bro, definitely very professional looking at the results. Awesome photos!

Kim Ong: Thanks! Well I’ve taken your pics before so you should know how I am..not sure if excellent is the right word.
Rachying: Haha yah she’s very photogenic…and Ed Hardy bloody expensive wei.
thatjames: Yah and the whole hats thing.
jen: The local distributor for Ed Hardy sponsored the clothes, but the shoot wasn’t for them.
Pat: Thanks dude, thinking about it still..maybe in a couple of years.
Erisha: Why are you confused? As stated all shots were taken around Genting ad hoc. The flowers are near first world hotel main entrance.
Mellissa: Yah she’s really very nice and humble.
moons: Thanks, make it happen bro!
KY: Hahaha no her choice.
Huai Bin: Thanks
Well first thing I did was spend about RM3000 on books – that helped a lot 
Plus attended some workshops and courses.
Myhorng: Typical la, want a date with her?
Mark Leo: Thanks! I was happy with the results.
Using

Zi Sheng: Thanks, you have some nice pics too

i dunno if i should say this but she’s somewhat related to me. her mom is my aunt’s younger sister. i just knew when my uncle celebrated his 60th b’day in january.
btw hannah’s folks happened to be at the party too. i didn’t know they were her parents until her mom mentioned about her.
gosh. you’ll never know who you’re related to, heh.
Using
She is stunning, and she looks incredibly petite – something I’ve always coveted. I’m 5’8″ and that’s just weird lah for a chinese girl.
Do you alter your photos or were those put up as they were taken? How do you get the colours to look so perfect?! And sharp.
Have you considered wedding photography? Been looking at photographers and all the ones I’ve seen on offer seem so soft-focusy and cliched. I want something journalistic verging on realist. I love your style. OMGGGG
Using
Arth Akal: Yah she’s from over that side of the world, her mom is lovely. BTW your aunts sister is also your aunt no?
Elle Zhang: Yah she’s is very petite, she won some Ms Petite title before I think. They are processed from RAW to match the style of the picture taken. I don’t mind doing pre-wedding portraiture (fashion/lifestyle kind of pics) but I’m not so into actual day etc. Never really tried.
Using
Excellent shots~ Best of all Hanah Tan! Wow…so envy you work, hahaha. Hope to see more of your pictures. Would be nice if you to share with us the camera setting for those shots: )
Using
Vincent: Thanks
The EXIF is intact so you can check out the settings on the pictures in Flickr.
Using
Love your shots, especially the lighting. =) By the way, there’s a lot of Ed Hardy’s. =D
Using
Nicholas: Thanks, and yeah local Ed Hardy distributor sponsored the clothes.
