I spent my Christmas Day 2009 at Patel’s residence,  and I exposed a pack of expired instant film. It was my first pack of fuji instant, only wish I could afford a pack of polaroid now.

All shots taken handheld in available light, which wasn’t much!

I shot my first roll of transparency not long ago, didn’t know what to expect since the roll was expired in “2002″.

Now I am thrilled at the result! Never mind the framing or other aesthetic aspect of photography, the clarity, tonal range, colour and overall feel is nothing  close to what digital has been offering so far. I haven’t had a chance to try digital back yet, so we’ll leave that to another time in the future.

Shot of the actual film.

He was once a pop sensation with Brother Beyond and Worlds Apart, he later managed music talents and produced successful TV show, now he is taking yet another challenge in his career – acting.

I had the opportunity to work with Nathan a little while ago, and it was a great pleasure to get to know someone with a rich background in the show business.

What struck me the most is how humble Nathan is. From the very first client meeting to the shoot, Nathan has made it as easy as breathing, which I was very grateful for. To my pleasant surprise, he is really open minded to my ideas, despite me being an “infant” as a professional photographer. I also thank him for passing on advice without making me look like a tool.

I sincerely wish him a smooth transition into an actor. Especially after my recent discovery of how incredibly challenging acting is as a profession. I certainly look forward to seeing Nathan continue to bring us entertainment in the future.

I would like to thank Emma my agent for setting up meeting in the first place; my assistant Duncan and Jess makeup artist for the hard work, and of course, Mr Moore himself, for bearing the 3 hours that had to put up with me
