A New Year Resolution

December 31, 2009

It’s almost the end of the year now, and it’s been one year and a half year since I started photography and owning my 1st ever camera. It’s been a fantastic journey so far. I’ve learn how to be a better person, make new friends…amazing friends, and not only have I get paid doing what I like, I get to make people happy with what I do. Besides that I’ve also got blessed with opportunities to shoot with people who I’ve admire from reading their blogs, Jenny Sun, Patrick Low, Edwin Tan and Andy Chin. This all would have been possible if it wasn’t for Grace Tan from Wedding Story and Alex Lam from Integricity and the team of people behind Shootfest. I’d believe that my journey would not have been boosted forward without this event and therefore I do owe you guys as well.

I started out learning my photography from forums and the internet, but with the guidance of my new found friends sight and perception with details and things around has changed. I’m not sure how exactly to put things in to words but I do sense the difference from what I see now when I walk around.

Besides meeting a whole bunch of great local photographer like Louis Pang, Robin Ng, Ian Chong, Jon Low and many many more I’ve also had the opportunity to meet greet and talk to international ones like Jerry Ghionis and CM Leung. I must admit it was a definately a great honor and pleasure to be able to talk to these people. I’ve been wanting to meet Jerry since I saw Masters of Wedding Photography and since then have fallen in love with the way he does his work. Hopefully next year I’ll get to meet Joe Mcnally who would be in KL for a workshop and seminar.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the ones beside me for their support and chance to grow my career in photography. Oh I must not forget the wonderful brides and grooms who I’ve shot too…without the chance to shoot your wedding I would not be who I am today or have grown to who I am. Thank you once more for entrusting me with probably the biggest event of your life, and you and your other half be bless with the joys of life.

I’ve decided to be a little more active next year in photography, not in terms of getting more jobs but in terms of using the camera more. With that I would TRY to take a picture a day and post it on flickr and maybe my blog. Hopefully I could successfully have a complete 365 album.

With that I would like to wish all of you a Happy New Year and may the coming year be better for all of us, I know I may have missed you many many names but it doesn’t I do not appreciate you help, advise or your presence in my life. You know who you are if you know me 🙂

Goodbye 2009

ShootFest 001 : The Wedding

June 9, 2009

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..

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!
