Photographer: Christine Lim
Speciality: Fashion and beauty portraits
Biography: Christine started taking photos in 2005 when she purchased her very first camera, a Canon 3000N film SLR for a photography unit at university. Originally she was studying film and television and only took photography as an elective, but soon fell in love with it after her first black and white studio shoot.
She started taking fashion and beauty shots mid-last year when she got the Canon 40D, with her friends Marlene Lim agreeing to be a model and Marilyn Lim a hair and make-up artist. They shoot almost every weekend, sometimes twice a week, in between their full-time jobs. One day the girls hope to be able to do this full-time by owning their own studio.
Christine freelances by taking beauty and fashion portraits, modelling portfolios, weddings and events photography.
"Photography is such a big part of my life now and well, I really cannot imagine doing anything else. Its endless creative possibilities are just very challenging and a motivation for me to always strive for something new, something better."
Equipment: Christine uses the Canon EOS 40D, initially with the 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens but now uses the 24-70mm f/2.8L USM lens. She also has a Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens and the 430EX speedlite, plus a dedicated Bowens Gemini 500 lighting kit (a softbox and a 90mm silver/white umbrella) for studio shoots. Photoshop CS3 is used for post-processing.

This was taken in my friend's house when I first got the lighting kit. We used one key light and a fill against a white wall.
