After the presentation, Mr.Vinod brought us to photo studio (i'm this week first model for photo shooting exercise) XD . Mr.Vinod taught them how to set up the lights . Moreover, Our topic for this exercise is 1940 - 1960's make up and fashion so we have to dressed up exactly the same in the picture that we choose.

Reflection -
Experience : In this exercise , I went around my hostel which place Subang Jaya SS15 . this time I only took the pictures around my hostel because I didn't go back to my cousin house or hometown like usually . And , there is nothing special around the place and there have a lot of rats and crows , lol .When I was taking the pictures I was so afraid of the rats and crows . At that moment , I just wanted to finish taking the photos as fast as possible , therefore I know that the final products are not that good .
Observations : I observed that my subject matter would be something nature , maybe is grass , trees or flower . Things like grass and trees are more suitable for me , so i have to try my best to find a suitable angle to take some good pictures as Final project .
Findings : Since I am the model of this week , I found out that modelling was not so bad after all. I would much rather be behind the scenes helping the photographer but not actually being the photographer, rather than be a model, but it was fun and very awesome to be able to do it and see the success in the outcome in the photograph.
