Hong Kong Fashion Week

2010-02-16T11:59:00.000-08:00

Last month I went to Hong Kong for photo shoot with Indonesia fashion magazine and to attend HK fashion week at the same time. Ali Charisma is one prominent Indonesian designer and held a big fashion show in the event of HK fashion week. Saw his collection being presented in front of the international media is flattering and makes me proud to have a visible talent in this country.

New year, new mind, new passion, new adventure... and most of all: new commitment to this so called blog haha!!

2010-01-13T21:32:00.001-08:00

It was raining during New York Fashion Week, all the models and makeup artists is fully booked for the shows but we can finally squeezed good talents for this AMICA fashion spread. The shoot itself only took under 3 hours (including running around in the city from Grand Central Station to Downtown to Brooklyn Bridge because Flynn -the model- has to catch the show just after the shoot and she's already late for an hour.. opsie).

Ops.. Sorry!

2009-10-23T09:41:00.000-07:00

So sorry for haven't been updated this blog for a while.. These past four months I was juggling with crazy schedules and long long trip to different continents, about 40,000 miles for what stated in my flyer card. Shortly: I broke my camera twice in two different trips, got sick after Shibuya's 2am raining shoot, getting burned for shooting my sister in Palm Springs, shot a fashion spread for Amica Indonesia in the rain in big apple during New York Fashion Week, attending Vogue Fashion's Night Out and met all my idols, went down under for the first time with lovely clients and also shot them. Me? No complain at all so far.. Life is beautiful :)

Being 25th again

2009-05-17T09:33:00.000-07:00

I don't usually like birthday even when it comes to mine. For me its no more than just everything-gone-wild parties or remembering that your happy days is numbered. But when mine is on Sunday this year, I decided to throw a Sunday brunch and gathered my inner circle. My friend, D created the theme and it was hampton brunch and all about upper east sider. It really was a blast. Xoxo..

Couldn't be happier when I see my work appeared in three different magazines this month: cover story and photo spread for Maxim, fashion spread for Her World and a special project for Esquire. I'll upload the images right after this.

Bazaar Wedding Exhibition

2009-03-08T10:15:00.000-07:00

I know this posting is long overdue and should be done a day after the exhibition. But I had a shoot for Maxim the day after the exhibition, had a photo trip in Singapore, got home for a day then headed to Lombok for a couple shoot, continued to Surabaya to extend my passport then finally got back home yesterday. The exhibition was a great success and beyond my high expectation. Trust me, I have high expectation and it exceeded them all. Can't wait to participate the same event for next year :)

I'm so excitedddddd for the many good things that will be coming up this month (I know it almost end of February, but still).
First of all is my special project for Esquire Anniversary Edition that I happened to shoot my muse Fitria Yusuf, Nicoline Patricia and Imelda Therinne (warning: one of them is barely naked so you guys better mark your calendar to get Esquire this month :)
Second, my first cover for big men's magazine (I couldn't tell you the magazine, I'm afraid it will jinx!).
Third, my photo spread for Her World magazine that looks a bit artsy, at least for me ;b
Forth, the photography seminar at Grand Indonesia (it will be my second workshop but definitely my first open public speaking).
Fifth, of course the Harper's Bazaar Exhibition in less than 48hours.
Sixth, my 2 photo shoots for editorial before I'm leaving for my photo trip.
Yepeeeee!!!

Lost in Love - Harper's Bazaar Wedding Ideas

2009-02-14T06:02:00.000-08:00

Las Vegas summer 2008 at 103 Fahrenheit (around 40 C). There were 2 models, 1 makeup artist, 1 fashion editor, 1 photographer, 1 assistant, 1 vintage car and 15 outfits that we brought all the way from Indonesia to shoot for a single day. The main concept story for this shoot is retro American classic yet me and Dien Tirtobuwono as the fashion editor of Harper's Bazaar didn't want the photo spread look too serious, so we asked the models to play around and I just captured the moment. We also rent the vintage Cadillac 1959 for this shoot and it's look awesome. I had to drive the car myself to the location without the car roof under the sun heat at 3pm. Go figure! During the shoot I drank a bottle of water every 15 minute and still it didn't make me go to the rest room after a day, well probably the water inside my body just dried up instantly. But poor Dien she got sun burn on her head after a long day. At nights we paid all those hard work and try everything the sin city has to offer, from fancy dinners, casinos, Cirque's Du Soleil shows and eyes retreat :D

ps: I know I put bad scans from the magazines but I do like tearsheets :)

Bazaar Wedding Exhibition

2009-02-12T17:07:00.000-08:00

In the past few days I haven't been slept that much due to Harper's Bazaar Wedding Exhibition preparation, the event will be held on 21-22 February in Four Seasons Hotel, Jakarta. When I have exhibition coming up, there's always crazy week lead up to that. And this time it doesn't change either. So for you guys who will getting hitched or have friends, relatives looking for wedding vendors, this exhibition will fulfill your needs from a to z. Don't forget to look for our booth PPF photo on the very back :) See you!

Photo Shoot for Astro TV

2009-02-08T04:51:00.000-08:00

I'm so dead in front of the camera and it's no coincidence that I have to work behind one. It makes me super groggy all the time just like fish out of the water.
For Astro TV behind the scene photo shoot, I decided to take pictures of my dear friends once again, Hendry & Fanny whom I also took their pre wedding photo last year in Shanghai. Before the shoot, we already discussed the concept with the stylist Thornandes James and makeup artist Adrian Suryapradipa. Fanny showed us the beautiful dresses that she intend to use for this project and told us that she like the Annie Leibovitz' Sex and The City photo spread in Vogue last year. From that idea we took the essence of the Vogue photo spread that even the makeup & hair of Sarah Jessica Parker in that shoot is messy and not very 'clean' but still looks glamorous and polished. In the end I'm very pleased with the result and would like to thank you to the team that helped me for this project, James, Adrian, Chekka, Indra from Astro TV and the cheerleaders Dien Tirtobuwono & Dewi Utari. Really appreciate it guys!

Art Issue

2009-02-04T09:45:00.000-08:00

I was like a kid in a candy store, shooting for art issue of Her World magazine in IKJ (Institut Kesenian Jakarta) overwhelmed me. I've been looking for a location like this for some time. A very rough studio with paintings, sculptures, and other art pieces scattered all around the place. What a perfect mess! The shoot itself was very laidback and done in under 3 hours for the whole fashion story. Love the model, love the makeup, love the outfit. Couldn't ask for more..

Le Mariage

2009-02-02T08:15:00.000-08:00

Today I shot a cover story for wedding magazine called Le Mariage with Kicky Alexander and Stella Rissa as the stylist. Le Mariage used to be free magazine that you could grab anywhere around the city and start from March they will be going to be sold with a price tag and trust me it's worth it. With all details information about wedding and the latest dresses from well-known wedding designers you won't regret it.

February 2009

2009-02-01T08:52:00.000-08:00

This month lead with a packed first week is quite a busy month for me. I have photo shoots, tv shoot for Astro Awani, exhibition (with Harper's Bazaar Wedding at Four Seasons Hotel on Feb 21-22) and ended with a photo trip. I'm so excited and up for it all. Bring it on February!

First one

2009-02-01T08:23:00.000-08:00

After a soul searching and deep chat with my friends under a heavy rain in a small cafe, I decided to make my own blog and tell about my own opinion, view and life about everything (well, maybe not everything everything). First of all, telling you the truth that I'm not good at writing and as the reason of that, more often I'll just upload pictures and I'm sure they will tell you more than I could. I'll try to blog as often as time would allow me and hope that you keep looking to this one :)

Cheers,
Stanley Allan
