This is my entry for the daily #monomad challenge hosted and curated by /@monochromes

Hello and happy weekend everyone. A good weather with a good food is a good day. How was your day my friend? I hope all is good and all of your plan today is going smoothly.

Yesterday I had a request for a video. It was 10pm just before went to bed. It was one of my friend from the entertainment industry. He asked me for a favor if I can help him take a photo of his cousin.

His cousin was the winner for the Unduk Ngadau Kaamatan for the Queen Elizabeth Hospital here at the capital city of Sabah. She was crowned last year 2024 and this year she had to pass down the crown to the next winner.

Since I had a lens to review for the Sony 28-70 F2 GM lens. I told him that I will do a video instead of a photoshoot. He agreed and he was looking for a videographer to do a video for her farewell. Great timing. He gave me the location, time and theme for the shoot and today, I have taken the clips for her cousins and it was a great experience with the new lens and working with them is amazing.

I reached home and went to take bath, ate my lunch and transferred all the clips into my computer. After all is done. I went to sleep and after two hours I woke up and start to prepare for this post today.

The photo below is not related on my story above but I just want to share what I did today :D

So this photo of Belle, was taken previously from a friend's studio. I was invited to his portrait session with another two of my friend. He brought three models during that time. So, we had to take turn for the shoot.

EXIF - 1/100 sec | f/ 1.8 | ISO - 380 | 85mm | 0 step exposure bias

Actually while waiting for them to finished their session, I went to check on the storage room. I found one light and a tripod, a big beauty reflector and one long power cable. I took all of it and went back to the very corner of the studio to setup a small studio for portrait. That was how I had this photo taken during the photoshoot.

I love how she do the poses. And her expression is just amazing. She really knows how to pose for her good angle. I am looking forward to work with her again in the near future.

But before I finish my last sentences. I have one question for all of you.

Can you guess what kind of characteristic that Belle have?

And that is all from me today. Have a great day, have fun and stay safe always. Cheers!
