ME as NiKiTa...

Here’s my first ever photo shoot courtesy of Shutter Up Inc. Dubai. I am so thankful to my cousin Kristine for making it one hellah exciting and fun experience. It’s my first and I am totally nervous but thank goodness that all photographers are easy to work with. I was really aloof coz I am sure I ain’t gonna meet their expectations. I’m never photogenic neither appealing in real life, but the push of my cousin to give it a try even for once convinced me to give it a shot, thank god I did as it turned out good.

It was a Friday when our humble home was temporarily turned into a photo studio. Suddenly I felt butterflies in my stomach when I saw the set with all the lights and backdrops plus the packed of photographers consisting of 5 the least. I was melting like an ice when I went out of our room wishing I could disappear but no, there’s no turning back, I have to do this, I have to fight with my shyness.

So the shoot went on, I was frozen as ice during the first set. I can barely move my feet as I lost the grace to do a decent pose. It was too embarrassing to be manned to pose and you're supposed to be posh pose turned out stiff and ugly, what a crappy model am I?!? deep sighhhh. Eventually the magic words of the photographers paid off and move me inch by inch to put me into character as Nikita.

I guess this is a once in a lifetime experience but it was fun and I feel great.
