We had the opportunity to photograph this Persian beauty in studio up close and personal. She’s currently a full time catwalk and fashion model available for hire.

I on the other hand was lucky enough to attend the Masterclass held in Tanjung Rhu, Langkawi from 20-23rd July 2011 www.tanjungrhu.com.my/ and also the workshop held in Kuala Lumpur on 24th July 2011. I have watched ‘America Next Top Model’ for most of its seasons and was blown away when i knew one of its judges, will be coming to Malaysia. Everyone in Malaysia who have watched the show will surely know the tall, dark and handsome Photographer “Nigel Barker” I knew him as a renowned and respected fashion photographer in America. However i was really surprised that he was more than just a fashion/commercial photographer that most people knew him for. On the 1st day of the Masterclass he showed us images based on project he had worked on. The first was the HSUS’s Protect Seals campaign which highlights the gruesome act of cruelty to seals, the 2nd was a documentary on Haiti: Hunger & Hope  and the 3rd documentary, Generation Free. The film highlights the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation’s fight to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV in Tanzania. All of the images and the stories behind it had made a profound impact on me as a Photographer. Photography in itself is a powerful tool as it is able to move hearts and change minds. Thus i had learned much more than just studio lighting technique or how to get a superb reaction from people. I am truly inspired and i know the rest who attended the Masterclass in Langkawi could not agree more with me. Congratulations to Epic Voyage team who had worked 24/7 on the bringing Nigel Barker to Malaysia. Best Regards to Lee Adelaine, of Epic Voyage for her hard work.
