Javis + Jean + Dave

Photography: Yong How

I got a surprise email from Jean some time back to ask me about taking some shots of her boy...and she identified herself as my secondary 2 classmate. It is only when she told me her chinese name that I knew who she was from the following email. Also, we've not kept in touch since we left school. I'm glad that it's a gathering of sort with this shoot with Jenny, another of my Sec 2 classmate who popped by. :)

Children have always been one of my favourite subjects to photograph as they exhibit so much innocence and energy. I had never taken a paid job to do that but I've been getting quite a bit of shots of children from the weddings I've covered. My own little boy has always been a good 'model' too.

It got me pretty excited when I knew that I'll be shooting Javis (Jean and Dave's boy) exclusively in their home. Javis is really easy to warm up with and it took me just a minute for him to get comfy with me around. The whole session was done very casually and there's literally no art direction. I'm glad that Javis, Jean and Dave are so cheerful throughout the shoot.

Here are a handful of images to share. :)























Thank you Jean and Dave for this great opportunity. We'll keep in touch again. :)
