The Moment Which Will Never Repeat: October 2008

I was watching 2008 Beijing Paralympic Opening and Closing Ceremony at home this evening. Suddenly when i tried to move my head due to long time watching LCD screen of my computer, i saw my neighbour's house post outside. There was the light of evening on the posts. It was really beautiful..I quickly took out the camera to try to shoot,but when i manage to get all my photographic equipments, the light was gone!!!!
What to do....i jus played with my camera for a while.
The result was not really what i wan, but what to do..

Looking at Louis Pang's pre wedding shots on his blog, I felt wanted to cry, because it's so touching lah!!!!
I love his imgages!
check out more about his blog on my blog's sidebar!

It's a very good experience for both of us, Cathy and me, to shoot our very first Chinese wedding invitation. Though we charge the couple for the price of frienship, I personally felt so nervous to handle their big day ever in their lives!
Not to say I am not confident on myself, but I think the responsibility is big enough to record down their very moment.

This shooting session has made me realise about purpose of photographying for client. We are the photographer, we should decide how will all our images look like at the end of the editing process. But not to fully follow what clients are asking for. We are the person who decide the image, as long as it's not too bias from client's request. I strongly appreciate this statement, as to me, no one know how much money and hardwrok we spend for this job:(

Btw, i am quite happy with all the images i took this time. In addition, i have tried using the extreme adjustment to bring out the subject in my shots. For this time, i purposely boost up the brightness and contrast of my images, so that the skin of the bride looks more elegant and has better skin soft bright tone. I have to admit that, i love sharp and colorful images. Personally i prefer black and white shots. I dont really like hanging in the middle of every exposure, but i like going for extreme. Vivid color is a must for my images!!!

Oh no...wasn't it our client's biggest day in her life?
I questioned myself for the way to post processing the images i took. And i know i am going to make this bride, friend of mine, to look more elegant and feel like a high fashion's model. Hence, i boost up the brightness a lot.

The bride loves Hello Kitty a lot! Just before the shooting, she asked us to snap more of the car, as it was designed specially for her. We didn't know how special was it until the groom was horning from far to her house!

Isn't it cool???I love these toys!!!

The event went quite smooth, but the weather was hot. We were too busy until we didn't really have time to have some water:(
But during the session, I snap a lot of children! Here is my favourite.

Just before we went back, the bride asked us to snap another corner of her room----

I can tell, she is really in love with these kitty. No doubt that they look cute, but it's a bit too cute.

We finished the first session around 3pm due to her gang of the relatives for the tea ceremony. The we went home to take a shower and rushed back to BM for the dinner shots. We reached quite early ,then we went into the restaurant and took some so called "artistic" images.
