Thrilled to blog about this behind-the-scene entry because not only does this upcoming launch consists of a SELF-MANUFACTURED satchel, it's actually Yventually's first outdoor shoot with Su =)
Having had zero experience taking outdoor shots, i had to spend more time than usual planning the photoshoot route, outfits and coordinating with my helpers.
RECCE SESSION
Had a recce session with theBF a few days before the shoot to plan the route and check out the locations of the toilets at various shooting locations. hahaha. TOILET IS VERY IMPORTANT OK. lol
I realise i needed a "model" for my test shots in order to gauge my lighting and determine what equipment i need to bring to the actual shoot and since i've got to be the photographer, theBF had to be my stand-in model. Make sense, right? :P
Check out his poses. HAHAHA. He said Su likes to pose with one leg up so being the very "spontaneous" model he is, he had to imitate the poses to accurately depict what the scene would be like during the actual photoshoot -____-"
He actually did a whole lot of funny poses/expressions but i shall not pose them here because im quite sure he will kill me :/ Let's just say what you see here is 1 on a scale of 10 in terms of funniness. hehehe.
See, buay song face by the end of the shoot :P haha.
ACTUAL DAY OF PHOTOSHOOT
Initially i only asked SH and Sally for help on the actual day but HL decided to stay for our shoot after her lunch meetup with SH. So in the end, SH became the "behind-the-scene photographer", Sally's the "Tweeter/Su's nanny" and HL ended up as my nanny as she made sure i finish up my Starbucks frappe before the ice melted under the hot sun. Im blessed, so blessed =*)
Erm, yea, we were travelling with a huge Winnie the Pooh luggage throughout our shoot :/ Unglam much. haha.
And the shoot began!!
From Raffles City SC...
to Chijmes...
to SMU..
to Fort Canning Park...
And lastly to National Museum =)
Su was playing around with my camera in between shots and she suggested posing at the pretty fences near Fort Canning Park. Well, as compared to our gorgeous model, we all looked so noob posing in front of the cam!! HAHA.

What did my friends do while i was snapping pictures?
(1) Hiding from the camera, trying to make sure they don't appear in my photos. lol.
(2) Posing for random pictures in between shots
(3) Taking pics on their own with my S95 and entertaining themselves in National Museum. HAHAHA.
Ending our shoot with a group shot of my temporary Yventually team :D Each of us carrying a different shade of the new bag!
In case you are wondering, this is the design the bag was inspired from.
Instead of patent leather, i picked soft faux leather for Yventually in 4 different shades - Universal Black, Rose Pink, Classy Nude & Funky Grey =) Everyone was impressed with the quality of the faux leather, even YL who normally only purchase real leather bags!
The bag fits A4 documents just nicely and comes with a backpocket for your ez-link card and whatnot!
I was torn between Nude & Rose Pink and ended up with the former. SH took Classy Nude as well while Jie went for Funky Grey and my aunt took Universal Black as a birthday gift for a colleague! I think Mich's considering the Rose Pink one so yea, every color is loveeeee =)
Some pics from my iPhone carrying my new arm candy:
Teaser pics are already posted on Yventually's twitter and facebook account and im in the midst of preparing a Lookbook to showcase the versatility of the bag so stay tuned ;)
Until next time~
