Upgrading!

photo above taken from Assad & Intan wedding that will be updated soon
Support Our Photographer
By the time moves on, there are few changes out there. In real world, all industries player have to compromise with two things, cost and quality. Going specifically to wedding photography industry, this 2 things they dont missed up too. I believe, customers today are more open-minded in pricing issue, and they are looking for service quality rather than the pricing itself. I'm not a full-timer wedding photographer, but I hardly recommend all wedding photographers to put their price in standard of your service quality.
For myself, with a few feedback from previous customers, and a few comments from other senior photographers, and after a few calculations on how to put my service (photo) price, i made up my mind to revise once again after recent major upgraded on it...Wise man said, "what you give, you get back"..but for me, its not applicable...i'm surely to say to my customers, "what you give, you get extra back"!.

Street Photography | Taiping
|
|
Finally, Azmean plan to conduct a street photography in his hometown was successfully proceed. Actually, I’m not really know him before, only when we meet on the night before the street photography and get a cup of tea together with Wan, I found that he’s a very2 enthusiast with photography (there’s a different between enthusiast with photography and enthusiast with camera where photography more on interest to capturing image while camera more on interest to the gear itself). Since this is my first time doing street photography, so, most of the time I only watching Mean and Wan shooting and snaping around while me, just smiling with their action...hahahha...
Anyway, Mean, thanx for the plan, its very2 interesting...thats why the day after, i'm doing again...hahaha...Wan, next time u'll guide us to shooting more interesting places here...since you are "anak jati tepeng"...

Zulkarnain & Fazlina
|
|
Setelah dikira, dihitung, dibelek2, akhirnya dapatlah jawapan...wedding ina & zul ni adalah job yg ke-8 oficially..dan sebelum itu ada 3-4 job yg saya buat percuma untuk cari pengalaman... bagi org baru yg baru berjinak2 dalam wedding photography, rasanya 8 job dah cukup untuk menilai sejauh mana kesesuaian saya dlm wedding photography. ya, dah 5 tahun memegang digital camera...daripada Casio 3MP (beli tahun 2002 dan hilang selepas setahun pakai), kemudian ke Sony camcoder (beli tahun 2004 hilang jugak), kemudian Panasonic Lumix (beli tahun 2006) dan sekarang DSLR..namun tak tergerak untuk melibatkan diri dalam bidang wedding photography sehinggalah someone memperkenalkannya....

My friend's wedding | Jamali & Masdura
|
|
A words taken from "Mr. Bright and Lady Dark" blog at http://unpublishednotes.blogspot.com :
Introduction
Jamali Nordin a.k.a Gobeck...I started to know him since we were at the same college somewhere in Kulim. we were also later at the same university but in different faculties.. From the outside...Jamali looks cool and composed ... but inside- only God knows! During our years at collage...Jamali was superb in playing pingpong, Jamali's pingpong-mates were Fadli aka Pali Bucit and Puyu (what was Puyu's real name?? cant remember..!). As I remembered...Jamali never beat me in sports because during the inter-collage sports, the pingpong team only got silver but the BADminton team won gold... Suddenly really miss Mohd Nasrun aka Dr.Nasrun who currently works as a lecturer at UUM. Still owe him RM250.00 ! Ops...please don't forget the phase 'holly-shit', very synonym to Jamali.
The Amani Phenomenon !
Never could forget the hottest gossip in Jamali's life. i still clearly remember the gossip between Jamali and NurAmani, a Kelantanesse girl (whom i should address as a woman by now) who was good friends with her civil coursemate Nur Sarah aka fair Sarah (whom i use to adore). But through it all, Jamali tried avoiding the gossip by acting cool. That's why I said: From the outside...Jamali looks cool and composed ... but inside- only God knows! But... the never-published rumours was that once upon a time somewhere a cafe Jaya, Tronoh...Badrul Hisyam aka Bad Langkap (Die-Hard Lover of Cikgu Umi) told me that he over heard Jamali's confession to arwah Zulhafiz aka Bahouk (al-fatihah) that he LIKED amani too! Err...I myself personally never believed any story from Bad Langkap. But...this is just the rumour by Bad Langkap, Personally...I suggest we all forgot that story (FULL-STOP)
Bad Langkap...the scar at my left-shoulder will always remind me of the 5bikes-accident after solat-hajat opposite of Lembaran Cafe. "Hang bodoh...awat hang tak breakkk!!!"
From AEE to WMG
AEE was the plat number of the RXZ which belonged to Jamali and was part of the Kabo-RXZ-Team. The other members were Shahrul Azwadi aka Kojekoff, Fairul Azman aka Peyol, Mohd Fathul Hakim aka Patul, Khairul Azhani aka Ed and the most remembered team-jokey, Tunku Saiful Bakhtiar aka Sepu Udang. Among those 6 bikes, Jamali's bike was always wiped and polished ... like Kojekoff's and Sepu's RXZ. The worst bike condition was Ed's. No wonder Ed's bike went missing just like that! The last time I saw the AEE was 2years ago at Puchong...but the appearance and condition dropped to the lowest level because of WMG. WMG is Jamali's current vehicle and it is an ISWARA S.E ! I do not know whether this WMG is already registered under PERWIRA Club (Kelab Pemilik Iswara) founded by Mohd Fazli aka Bob or not. I noticed that only Wan Rosli aka Seli EE registered his car with Bob. Recently I saw the WMG 2 days ago at Jamali's parents in law's house somewhere at Kampung Nangka, Pengkalan Chepa. Till date the millage is already nearing 65000km and the current price would definately drop to less than half its original price. Jamali also complained to me that the condition of his car was horrible especially when the air-condition was ON. But...right now, Jamali automatically is the owner of a Kancil belonging to Jamali's wife. For sure...the total maintenances for his cars will rise exponentially with the increase of cars he owns. Please contact Muzzamil aka Men to register that Kancil under PERKECIL club (Kelab Pemilik Kancil). As I know, among our friends only Men uses a Kancil 660.
3hour before angkat nikad
25 May 2007...6.15pm, 3hours before Jamali's akad nikad, I picked Jamali to have a drink at Warung Pelayan, Pengkalan Chepa. I drank Teh Beng and Jamali ask for Kopi O. I asked Jamali why he did not order a cold drink, Jamali said "Untuk jaga stamina laa....". We ate some sate but...to my surprise, Jamali only ate 3-4sate."Nervous la..."he said. Jamali had already trimmed all the hairy parts of his face but he looked pale. Around 7pm I sent Jamali back and wished him luck.
Wedding Day
26 may 2007...12.20pm, I arrived at Jamali family's house to escort Jamali to his bride's house 3km from where he was putting up. I met Jamali's father, Pakcik Nordin and asked him "Berapa kali akad nikah semalam...?"Pakcik Nordin smiled and said"Sekali sajaa....". From outside of house I could see a very handsome guy whom i knew as Jamali wearing his suit which i wold like to name 'Last Minute Maroon Virgin Warrior". We arrived at the bride's house 40 minutes later along with 6-7 other cars and a specially rented bus from Kuala Kangsar. NurMadura @ Hadura @ Nadura was already waiting for Jamali at in front of house with her suit which i named 'Nervous Maroon Virgin'. At the pelamin, Jamali tried to control his nervousness by act like cool. But...I knew Jamali was VERY NERVOUS because he couldnt find me even though I was sitting just 2 meters in the angle of 4o degrees away from him. Jamali also try to cover his face when I wanted to snap his picture (the reality...take a look to the picture above).
4 Days After Wedding
Yesterday evening...I went out to have a drink with Jamali at My Curry Restaurant at Pengkalan Chepa and Jamali look tired. Maybe Jamali hasnt slept enough. From the conversation between me and Jamali, I knew that finally Jamali has someone to share his feelings with. Jamali grumbled that he was quite frustrated because he had to cancel his honeymoon-trip to AWANA KIJAL cause there were too many dinner invitations from his MakSu, MakLang, MakTeh and so on... Honestly, I didnt care much about Jamali frustration, I only cared about wanting to know this..."Sedap dok...?". Jamali smiled and said "Rugi mu...kawin cepat2 laa..". Now...Jamali principle is "Pantang gesel...jadi selaluuu....!". When I sent Jamali back...his father in-law was waiting for him outside the house. Maybe he was worried about his son-in-law.
Outro
Jamali...my friend, I pray to God that he blesses both of you. May God bring happiness to you and you wife, Madura @ Hadura @ Nadura. This article is a symbol of appreciation from me to you in hopes that we will be both reminded of the great friendship we have. Thanks for being a good friend to me.
Aboo

Shahril & Ziana | Majlis persandingan
|
|
Majlis persandingan Shahril dan Ziana pada 2 Jun 2007, Taman Lela, Kamunting. Thanx Shahril, hari yg baik dengan layanan yg agak istimewa...dah agak lama dah photo2 ni dalam simpanan, bukannya tak nak di publish cuma sangat2 kekurangan masa berbuat demikian...jadual harian Luqmanaziz:
Isnin - Jumuaat:
6.30am - Bangun dan bersiap untuk ke office
8.15am - Slot-in kat office dan memulakan kerja2 formal
5.30pm - Waktu balik....tapi selalu akan terlewat hingga 6.30pm..dan singgah mengalas perut.
7.30pm - sampai rumah...mandi dan apa2 yg patut dan wajib...
8.00pm - Berita
9.00pm - makan
10pm - Kerja2 editing photo bermula
12pm - zzzZZZ
Sehari 2jam untuk editing...termasuk turn-on komputer, editing photo request kawan2, nescafe, dobi, toilet and etc. Kebanyakkan editing job hanya utk printing purpose, i'm very concern on delivery due date. Ussually I request 2-3 weeks for delivery and all the job must done within this period. But sometimes, client will make a call as earlier as 1 day after the ceremony..
"bila gambar2 I boleh siap?"
"Tak sabar nak tengok gambar2 tu"
"I nak tgk gambar2 I kat fp U...bila nak upload?"
.....these are the "main" question almost from all clients..
Hehehe...I know it's ur beautiful day...saya sendiri takkan sabar nak tengok photo2 perkahwinan anda yg siap dialbumkan...alhamdulillah, so far belum ada lagi album yg lewat sampai ke tangan client walaupun semua kerja daripada shooting ke editing saya buat sorang. and so far, belum ada complaint daripada client tentang album2 tersebut...kepuasan sebenar seorang wedding photographer (wlupun bukan profession saya) ialah ketika melihat client teruja dengan photo2 mereka...perasaan yg agak sukar diungkapkan, dan mungkin sebab itulah saya lebih cenderung pada "wedding photography"....
Seorang kawan bertanya.."what kind of photography u interested to?".....dan saya jawab "i'll shoot everything that i think beautiful, and most of beatiful things I found in a beautiful day".....and i'll try to make ur bautiful day perfect in ur memory...
Thanx to all my clients who trust me in their big day...and my promise, it's very2 painfull to broke ur trust...to all, happy shooting......

Malam tadi...malam jumaat..
|
|
malam tadi.....
Aku bersama rakan2 sekerja menghadiri majlis makan malam bersama Mr. Paul Chan di sebuah coffehouse di Taiping. Majlis bermula pada jam 7ptg tapi kebanyakkan tetamu tiba kira2 setengah jam lebih lewat terutama yg muslim kerana perlu mengerjakan kewajipan terlebih dahulu...agak meriah...
dalam perjalanan...
majlis agak meriah dengan ucapan2 yg secara langsung ditujukan kepada Mr. Sivadas kerana beliau akan meninggalkan kilang ini pada hujung Ogos ini.
Selesai majlis, aku bersama tiga org rakan singgah di sebuah "kopitiam" untuk melepak memandangkan agak tersentuh dengan ayat yg disebutkan oleh salah seorang kawan yg berbunyi seperti berikut:
"org yg dah kawen klu dapat keluar dengan kawan2 macam ni, terasa macam bebas dan seronok..."
Kebetulan, satu tragedi yg agak sadis berlaku dihadapan kopitiam tersebut. menurut sumber, ada seorang laki2 berada di dalam sebuah kereta (proton saga) telah berhenti di tengah jalan, mematikan enjin dan mengunci semua pintu...ketika sampai, polis sudahpun berada di tempat kejadian untuk memujuk lelaki tersebut supaya keluar..dan kebetulan, kamera ada ditangan ketika itu, lalu terpanggil untuk menjadi wartawan tidak rasmi seketika..kesudian tersebut disambut baik oleh pihak polis apabila dibenarkan utk merakam detik2 kejadian tersebut dengan lebih dekat...
pihak polis gagal untuk memujuk lelaki tersebut menyebabkan bantuan pihak bomba diperlukan...setelah kira2 setangah jam, akhirnya keputusan dibuat utk memecahkan cermin depan bagi mengeluarkan lelaki tersebut...(lelaki ni mungkin dalam keadaan tertekan - malam jumaat)..pergelutan berlaku ketika lelaki tersebut berjaya dikeluarkan, pihak paramedik telah bersiap sedia untuk membawa lelaki malang tersebut ke hospital. ketika saat ini, suatu kejadian sampingan yg tidak diduga terjadi kepadaku...ketika merakamkan gambar kejadian daripada pintu ambulans, tiba2 seorang anggota paramedik telah dengan angkuhnya menutup pintu tepi (tempat aku berada) dengan sekuat hati tanpa sebarang amaran...aku agak bernasib baik sebab sempat mengelakkan diri daripada terkena pintu, namun tidak bagi lensa kameraku....ia menjadi mangsa sampingan kejadian ini apabila tersepit diantara pintu ambulans tersebut..."baammmm!!!"...terkedu aku seketika...org sekeliling tergamam...perasaan marah tiba2 menyirap...pandanganku berselang seli diantara lensa kameraku dan paramedik tersebut, terasa tiba2 seperti ada didalam lahar gunung krakatoa......
melihat itu, seorang rakan paramedik tersebut dengan sopan kemudiannya menutup pintu ambulans...dan aku masih kaku memandang ke dalam....entah berapa lama, ambulans tersebut kemudian bergerak...tinggal lah aku bersama lahar2ku....seketika, baru aku tersedar, siapalah aku sebagai org awam utk mengganggu tugas mereka....aku berlalu.....
