The Second Press

The photo above is my first attempt at replicating the “Dave Hill” look.

Dave Hill is an accomplished photographer and his photography has a distinct look which isn’t easily replicated. The look is gritty and extremely detailed.

Unfortunately, there isn’t a one-click solution or action to replicate this look and each shot has to be processed differently. Another crucial element is proper lighting.

Cute photos alert! You might want to avoid this.

I have no inside information so please don’t blame me if the prices listed here are not accurate. For existing Singtel users, you may use your existing voice only plan but you are required to add the mobile on broadband plans. Bear in mind that the prices of the handset will be more expensive and you need to re-contract.
