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.
