I’ve been advertising myself on AADB for over a year now, and while I have gotten lots of auditions from there, I haven’t been able to clinch any job so far.
That is until about two weeks ago. Wendy called me up for a last minute photo shoot and with that, I finally get my first job there at last.
We were told we were going to Bintan for a shoot, but when we arrived at the Tanjung Pinang jetty, I realised it was a part of Bintan that I’ve never seen before. A totally new and very different world existed at this part of Bintan, a far cry from the picturesque resorts that one usually associates with Bintan.
This part of Bintan was populated and rural and one could see from the surroundings that this wasn’t a very prosperous part of town. I would be told later that this particular area is where folks go for cheap sex, although I really didn’t see any women hanging around street corners as we made our way in a mini van that had a non working air-con.
Our first location was a very nice beach.
My phone camera don’t really do the beach justice, but the scenery is really nothing short of amazing. I doubt very much any of the main resorts in Bintan have such a nice beach front.
After that, we went to a few plantations as well as a few farm stay houses that had these interesting murals on its walls.
The scenery wasn’t half bad as well.
I actually had a blast doing this and I certainly wouldn’t mind doing more of such shoots in the future. But since I’m not really model material, I can only hope and pray. 😛
