Girl in Cheongsam

One week after I photography a model in kimono, I took part in another similar event. This time, the model wore cheongsam (a.k.a. qipao 旗袍). The organizer even brought a guzheng (古筝), a type of music instrument originated in China. The venue was Sau Seng Lum Exhibition Centre in Puchong. Here are a few shots for sharing…


This is a challenging shot: The hall was slightly dark, but it was sunny outside the window. I was unable to get the exposure right. The model is “playing” guzheng in this picture…


Can you spot her name?

    Of all the pictures I like the first one. :D It has that little mysterious feeling to it.

    I love qipaos. They are classic and beautiful.

    Ah ah, qipao is something only Asian women wear well. I try one on once, doesn't work for much, not thin enough and too many curves ;-)

    Not sure if she was born in April.

    Maybe you can try the lose-fitting type...

    Is it May, June or October? Haha, kidding.

    In that photo with the guzheng, April looks like her legs are stuck inside.

    Anyway, April looks yummy! Our country sure has lots of good-looking babes. =p

    I like the third picture of April though the photo is a bit cluttered.

    Did you have to request permission for photo-shoot in that premise?

    I also have pictures of her playing guzheng while seated on chair, but they don't look so good.
