BTS Heartlight Sunscreen Shoot

Good morning. Today we’re going to capture photos and videos for the Heartlight Sunscreen, our very first shoot for our own brand.

Literally me at 6am, let’s do this.

And the co-founder, Joseph.

We drove to our studio of the day, Kota Spaces @ Empire Damansara. What a nice place, honestly. Still early, people are still arriving. I’m the first talent of the day, so time for make up.

The director of today’s shoot, @jaredle3 He’s the best director in the world! Huge shoutout to him for driving the shoot to make our visuals look so good (Look around the website! Beautiful photos), and for helping with everything.

Just little ol me with lights and camera

What an experience, to direct models to showcase skincare. (Something that I’ve been doing for years. Haha)

I heard they use this camera in big hollywood productions. Mind blown, and grateful for the opportunity to shoot with one. It’s called ARRI. I’m honoured. Thanks best director (Jared)

There’s always time for laughs and coffee. We consumed so many cups of coffee that day. (I’ve since became a matcha girlie btw.)

Breaktime snaps at Kota Spaces @ Empire Damansara I want to come back for a shoot. Maybe a video shoot next time. This place has 4,000 sq ft of modernist loft aesthetics.

The green gang that we brought but didn’t get to use due as main photos. (Mainly to respect the IP of the respective brands). They cute tho.

The art team’s work table. Fascinating.

Director Jared: You want to call it? Me: Okay….It’s a wrap!

It’s a wrap!! I can’t believe it, what a day. They say it takes a village, this was my village of the day. My heart is so full right now.

From 6AM to 11PM. Thanks everyone.

Love always,
Alicia
