Vince Chong, winner of the Akademi Fantasia #1, recently contacted us to have a set of photos done for his upcoming Xmas album. We were more than happy to oblige. We’ve done several album photo shoots before but this one was special. Vince had wanted a classy and yet modern look to his images for his album. Something in between Harry Connick Jr and Michael Buble.
Vince Chong, since winning AF#1, has been busy himself. He’s now into live theatre performance, he’s a singer, songwriter, producer, script writer, actor, creative director as well!
Collaborating with Vince was a fun experience. We bounced ideas back and forth and experimented with various types of lighting and styles to create a set of images to choose from. We wanted to create a serious demeanor of him, show the fun side of his character and yet still make sure it is true to his personality (which can be quite funny, entertaining and yet a very grounded down-to-earth guy).
This album collaboration was with the equally talented Daniel Veerapan, son of the award winning musician, Michael Veerapan. You can see some of his youtube videos to check out their collaboration.
We finally decided on Hollywood-styled look to his images and here are the results!
Here’s the signed copy of the final album cover that he chose <smile>
