Charge Up 2010

January 17, 2010

Over the week I signed up for a photography conference called Charge Up, organize by live wire media. It’s a 4 day conference but due to some unforeseen issues I only manage to attend the 2 days, the 3rd day we were given as task/project and would work in a group to come up with a montage for certain NGO/Ministry. Sadly I wasn’t able to join the rest of my new friends there and since I was home all night, I decided to make this lil montage. Please don’t take this montage seriously as it’s meant to be a joke. :P Just to have some fun…since I missed the event.
Enjoy the montage yea!

Francessca Birthday shoot

December 23, 2009

A friend invited me to her birthday party last weekend. She celebrated her birthday earlier as her birthday fell on a weekday, so I have the honor of being the “photographer” for the joyful occasion. I thought it would be nice if I could give her a little gift by compiling some shots in to a photo montage.

The party was held in 7atenine which was the same building as Ascott Kuala Lumpur. It was my first time there and infact was my first time hearing of the place. Food was pretty alright and the place was a nice chill out spot.

Canon Malaysia had a sports photography workshop last weekend, Sunday. The talked was held in Sepang and conducted by Ruddie Khaw. Since I’ve not shot in Sepang before and there was a workshop which would give me a chance to walk down the pits…so why not?

The weather was awesome that day, hot and cloudy at certain areas.

Cutie Pet Fair 2009

November 22, 2009

I know this is a photography blog but I’m doing this for the sake of these beautiful pups which need a home. There’s this Cutie Pet Fair in Central Park in Bandar Utama (just beside 1 Utama) and there are some dog associations there which are offering pet adoptions. One of them is Malaysia Dogs Deserve Better and House of Happy Furmily. These 2 association or group may not be well known and to be honest even I am not aware of them till recently. I’m doing them a favor as I feel these dogs deserve a hand from us animal lovers and to play our small parts lets try to adopt or at least donate a few ringgit to them.

Details are on this poster, do drop by if you have some free time to check out the pet adoption :)

These dogs can be adopted with a low fee of RM50.00, so do help out in providing these lovable darlings a home and I’m sure they will be faithful and thankful to your deeds.

This cute buddy here had some injuries on his back, now that he is healed he is a pretty playful and active young chap, pay him a visit tomorrow.

April here is suffering from some heart issues, her medical fee is around RM100.00 ++ per month, If you happen to drop by please do donate something to House of Happy Furmily. One thing I like bout them is they do not set a limit or minimum requirement to the donation..so do your part and have some sympathy to these poor sick dogs and donate as much as you can :)

Here’s some pictures that I took that night. The lightings inside were just awesome and I didn’t even need a flash when shooting the interior. The organizers has defiantely done a good job for this event and from the feedbacks I’ve been hearing so far…no complains, everyone was happy and they felt it was really well organized.

This Year I’m lucky enough to get the official photographer’s pass for this event. I must say I do enjoy this event as it quite well organize and the show gets better, and as bonus I get to meet local celebs and international ones at the same time. Being just a feet or more away from them and having no bouncers to stop me from talking to them, it’s a rare importunity to be in this position.

So I thought I do something a lil different this time and instead of just posting up pictures of people I don’t know I’ll post up a video on what I do or see on that day. I hope you enjoy the video.

p/s: All pictures are straight out of the camera

Over the weekend I attended ShootFest which was an unconference meetup with photography enthusiast. Basically there were talks and discussion and educational stuff on photography related issues (in this case the talks were more on weddings). If you want more information on ShootFest just visit their site at http://shootfest.org/.

To be honest this has been the most educational and fun weekend I’ve had with other photographers. I would say I’ve learn alot and also hopefully managed to share some of my knowledge with other people.  The environment was very er…how to say, hmm educational?and at the same time motivational? People were participating and asking and asnwering questions which you don’t normally get when there’s a talk/seminar like thing happening. So this kept the spirit up I guess.

Besides that I think the best part is that people were willing to share their thoughts, techniques, methods and workflow of their work. It’s definately very interesting to see how professionals do their work and it does help to improve yours or atleast it has helped me identified my flaw in my workflow.

Some of the professional speakers were Grace Tan, Jenny Sun, Jon Low, Fiona Lim, Zach Chin and many more, you can check out the schedule here

so here’s some of the pictures :

For more detailed write up Mark Leo has some pretty good coverage on it for Day 1 and Day 2. Feel free to drop by his blog.

I took part in the Karaoke Power Point which is basically a game of BS (Bull Shit), you’re given a set of slides to present which you’ve not seen before and you are suppose to present it like you know it.

mine was to convince people that advertising is dead…oh dear..

Thanks mark for the picture best so far I’ve seen of my self. I know i need a hair cut badly :S

With this I end my little post on shootfest, I’m really looking forward to the next shootfest which could be ShootFest 002 : The World, (travel photography) see you guys again then!

Posted up this set of pictures some time ago but didn’t manage to blog bout it due to my pc misbehaving. I’m finally done installing my new pc..and hopefully this windows 64 bit works fine.  If not wrong it was fashion week or something here in KL and there were a number of malls with fashion shows. I happen to catch this one on the 24th April. Kinda made the decision to go last minute so I didn’t have any pass to get a spot at the platform.

Before the fashion show started I was wondering how’s this lingerie fashion show gonna be since it’s a public event and there were plenty of underage kids around…nonetheless, I’m quite impress and satisfied with the idea of covering enough of the model and not reveal too much. Oh and I have to say…they were drop dead gorgeous…love most of them.

Finally went through the sets of pictures the night before…and I don’t know if my taste is getting higher or am I just paranoid with my pictures but I find most of it do not fit my liking. I want pictures that are sharp and good or atleast acceptable in composition. I took the most pictures from this fashion show also thrown away the most pictures. Thanks to one real ignorant/selfish and urgh..god knows what person who was standing infront of me blocking my shots most of the time. I have tons of shots of him moving infront of my lens or having his flash infront of my lens. I’ve already told him to not blocked me but I guess he’s too smart to comprehen. I guess these are the challenges one would face taking pictures as a non official photographer in public places, then again I’m sure the pressure is alot more on the official photographer.

I was there for the 2 session of fashion show which was the Salabianca & Philosophy - MEN and Chinatown Classics.

February 25, 2009

Took these shots on the 18 January, way back before Chinese New Year.  If you’ve been reading my blog frequently again you’ll notice I always delay posting up my pictures. Reason wise it’s because my hardisk is currently very critical on disk space. I have to seriously learn to organize my file or get a new one.

There were two shows on that day which I took, one was the acrobatics and the other was the 24 Season drum which was why I was there. But to my disappointment the drum show was very short and as for the acrobatics, I didn’t really manage to get much good shots as there were too many people in front of me. I guess I cannot do event photography due to my physical limitation =S.
