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 :

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!
