Casuals

Had a great day out with James and Shoba today. Totally new ideas at the same old place. Here's 3 of my fave pics from the short shoot. Can't wait to see what film images i have.

WPN Workshop 2008 - Huy Nguyen

Finally i have time to scan the images and blog about Huy's workshop. Its my 3rd workshop in a year after Jose's last year and David Oliver and all 3 had their own styles of photography and business models and its always an eye opener when photographers are so willing to share all they know about the trade. 

The most important thing i learnt from this year's workshop is communication. Communication with clients, the people at weddings, be it friends or family. Coming from a photojournalist background, Huy shared the importance of connecting to the people we are photographing and how it brings about better images.

Dino Lara taking a snipe at Kelvin. One of the other great value of this workshop was the interaction we had with the foreign participants of the workshop. Its great to find out how other photographers from the region are performing their art and what they are doing to bring it to the next level.

Indian Weddings

Have i ever mentioned how much i love shooting Indian Weddings? And it is amazing how many such weddings i get to shoot, i can easily count at least 10 since the last year. Well, its not amazing that the first wedding i shot when i turned full time was an Indian celebration. 

Here are some images from Mu and Bel's marathon ceremony last month. (Yes i know i took a long time but good things take time :) )
