Photo shoots

SO busy recently!

Well Im not complaining and it is DEFINITELY a good thing as $$$ is coming in.

I got a chance to work with a photographer who is into high fashion shoots which suits my tastes just fine!

So, I jus GRAB whatever chance I have to work with him. He uses caucasian models who just look gorgeous like 99% of the time. Just fantastic...... I feel a sense of euphoria after I see them all made up and dressed up in fantastic clothings and the pics turn out just GREAT.. Really. I feel so proud of me. :D
It just makes me feel Im in the right line.

Besides, I get to discover 'exotic' locations I didn't know existed that make for fanstastic shooting locations.

Hair and makeup by me

Check this, one of my favourite pics cause it's in pink and also the model looks gorgeous!Location Botanic gardens! Amazing.....

This is her second outfit with a different hairstyle.
Everytime I see all these gorgeous-ness, I dream of how it would be perfect if I had their height and figure and all those clothes!
*btw, clothes are from photographer's wardrobe. Courtesy from his mum........ ARGH sooo lucky! Not for him of cause but his sisters!!

My next favourite pic:

I just love her expression. Never in my 1001 cam whoring pics that I ll achieve an expression like that.
sighhhhh...

But if get the chance to cam whore with this hunk, it is totally worth while..... no? Look how happy I am!

and this is him in motion...
*swoon...*

Being in this line is great! I get to touch, see and sometimes criticise models who are more gorgeous than me! wahhahahah!!!

What I truly dream of is to become the hair and makeup team of America's next top models/Janice Dickinson modelling agency. They have so many artistic directions for photo shoots with the different outlooks (ultra ultra exciting) and plus! the different locations, which means there is a high chance of travel?!!!!!!!!!! Victoria's secrets are great too because of the outrageously gorgeous costumes!

Will I have this opportunity??? Everytime I watch the videos I become sooo inspired and I will daydream to no end. Sigh..................

ABOUT ME

I work with a team of fellow artists sometimes, which allows us to better ourselves and also work as a group to deliver the best services to you all out there.

Previously graduated with a Diploma in Optometry, I realized that being an optometrist is not what I would be happy working in for the long term. So I decided to pursue the unknown in the artistic industry, which is what I've always been fascinated in since young.

I figured: You only live once, why waste it?

So, after graduating with a hair diploma course from Kimage, I realized styling is what I love most and decided to focus more on getting experience in this sector which unfortunately was not taught in-depth during my time in hair school.

I strongly think that hair should also really go with makeup for a lady to look ‘complete' and that beauty IS the whole package!!

So, I started to read up on lots of information on makeup and went hands-on on my own face and whoever I can get for practice!

Armed with self-taught makeup skills, a hair diploma, and MOST importantly a very determined and passionate heart, I took a huge leap of faith out into a new career path to get more involved in the industry.

I proudly say my forte is my versatility in my style for (with an added speciality on asian faces) and is often engaged for brides styling, fashion and commercial shoots/print ads, corporate functions and beauty workshops, personal makeovers and collaboration with fashion designers, photographers and videographers. (Pretty much anything you can think of)

Being able to do what I love and good at, often keeps me in an uplifted, jovial and cheeky demeanor, making people feel at ease around me very easily.

Currently striving to better my skills with experience and looking to expand my expertise in related hair and makeup projects.

I am proud to declare that I am Cozycot’s 100 most inspiring women for two consecutive years 2011/2012 and want to thank all the people who have supported me so far!

If you would like to read about bits of my life in fashion and beauty or some random nonsense, scroll on down.

"It is ok to be mad, a little madder, or as mad as u can be.

Your parents would still have loved u.

But afraid of hurting them, u would have paid the price of ur dream.

Some people build exaggerated high defences against the outside world; against new people, different experiences and leave their inner world stripped bare.

And that is why, we become embittered people, lacking the will to live or die.

The Embittered, find heroes and madmen fascinating. In the end, both would die. (Heroes offer their lives in the name of a cause whereas madmen would commit suicide.)

But Because they forge ahead regardless of what other people say.

It 's only, at this moment, the embittered person would have the energy to climb up his defensive walls and peer over at the world outside, but then his hands and feet would grow tired and he would return to daily life..........

Yes I wanna be mad and as mad as I can be."

Until we meet,
Gerra
