Good day, As normal begining part of the introduction, my name is Edwin Tan…..
Back in May 2007, when I bought my first DSLR Canon 400D, my intention was to record the precious moments for my family. I was in photography classes during my study in The One Academy back in 1990’s when I was teenager. During film time. I still remember the time I spend on developing film, and photo outing at dataran merdeka to capture the magic hour moments. Everything was so exciting and I fall in love with photography since then even it was just a semester with less than 13 classes. However, due to financial problem, I have to quit The One Academy and join a gas industry. As developing films are very expensive at that point of time, I have to hold back on photography After all these years, when i am back into photography, I started shooting portrait and some still life and same time was thinking may be marco photography will be my choice..However, in July 2007, after I join one of the master of wedding photographers in Malaysia, Zung, ThePhotoz’s workshop, the slideshow that Zung show us really touched me and it turn out to be my passion and my part time job now. I love wedding photography so much and it is the most satisfied moment for me when I see how the couple appreciate and happy about the images and moments that I capture for them no matter how tired I am at the end of the shooting session.

Came back last night around 2am after shooting. Yesterday is our first experience in wedding shooting during raining day. My partner felt down and injured himself during the process and worst, 2 of his lenses was broken. Well, this is the point when we have 2 photographers, at least I can still continue shooting. The church wedding was cancel due to some misunderstanding between the couple and the Church management and we couldn’t do outdoor portrait due to bad weather. Luckily, we still have some good shoots during the tea ceremony and evening dinner shooting with their cheerful and fun relatives and friends.
Now I am at home editing photos and reading some of my emails. Will be going out soon for another couple shooting today.
This is the 3rd time I purchase goods from Shashinki, Malaysia online camera shop. So far I love their service, on time and professional. Too bad their credit card service is in USD exchange which really not competitive compare to local shops.
As for syder2express, I have been thinking about it for a while, one of PPA members told me, there are millions of monitor screen (be it CRT, projector or LCD) in the world, there is no way we could guarantee that our clients will be able to see the exact same colour, same display as our images displayed on our screen. However, the least we could do is to ensure what shown on our screen is the accurate colours that it should be. This product will calibrate my monitor to ensure this point. Very often I come across our slideshow during wedding dinner venue play back came out totally different colours and some with tinted green or yellowish colours. I really feel dissapointed whenever I am in this situation, just imagine, after the whole morning session shooting and the non stop editing in the afternoon trying to show to the guest on the happening morning wedding day, all we could show is the inaccurate colours images which totally give no impact on the photos at all. Hopefully one day the restaurants and hotel management will able to look into such issues and couples will do a precheck before their actual wedding day with them.
I post this before but it was the following days for Geoff & Winnie’s AKad Nikah. Now finally completed this part of the assignment, pls allow me to share some of the highlights and my favourate shoots. For more photos, pls click here
Kiam Leong and Emily’s registration of marriage at Tian Hou Temple in June itself. I still remember, Stephen and I were just back from Ipoh wedding shooting a night before around 2am and within 5 hours slept, we need to be ready at the temple for this lovely couple. Never feel tired when shooting wedding photo, that is just me hahaha. Kiam Leong and Emily came early for some portrait shooting before the registration and we did have some fun time shooting that morning. Best wishes to both of you:
are my wedding photos contemporary style or wedding photojournalism?
According to Wikipedia, “Photojournalism (sometimes called photo-journalism) is a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that creates images in order to tell a news story”. In recent years, this approach to wedding photography has lent itself to the practice of capturing matrimony by many top wedding photographers around the world. This artistic, documentary style may entail black and white or color photos, film or digital wedding photography. Wedding photojournalists work in a documentary manner, easily replacing the narrative itself.
As defined by Encarta, Photojournalism is “journalism using mainly photographs: a form of journalism in which photographs play a more important role than the accompanying text”.
Wedding Photojournalism is characterized by its candid, creative and natural results spanning serious to humorous scenes. While traditional wedding photography dictates the setting, a wedding photojournalist documents the moment as it naturally happens.
What do you think?
