Summer shoot in Coventry

One lovely shooting day at Jocelyn's house next to Canley roundabout. It was after all the exams were done when we could finally fix a day to do something crazy as a celebration of the end of just about everything at Warwick. Wei Jean was the amazing photographer and Jocelyn's such a talented model, striking bold, symbolic poses naturally, delivering strong emotions through the clicks. The one below has been retouched by Adrien, a random space engineer from Cranfield who also happens to be a brilliant photographer. Love the retouch done. 

Today I have been drowning myself in reflecting my role as an ethical marketer, going through the case once again for Pizza Hut and its sustainability approaches, evaluation and recommendations with possible ways of improvements, which was fun. During my breaks, I was looking at old photo albums and trying to dig out several favourite ones. Here's a quote from Tony Benn (whose talk I've actually been to at a local church in Coventry during my PPE days): "Most things in life are moments of pleasure and a lifetime of embarrassment; photography is a moment of embarrassment and a lifetime of pleasure." I could vividly recall when I was trying to do some difficult, or even weird poses when it actually turned out to fit so well with the surroundings, background and lightings. 


Photo memories are priceless to me. All the places I have travelled to with the very people I love(d), all the good old times when there was absolutely nothing to worry about, in a city where I was always taken good care of, and most importantly, the emotions, especially the love that was embedded in the gestures and facial expressions, that remained on the prints, always made me smile and carry on.

Back to work now...
