syaf’s journey throughout

Hello, blog hoppers, friends, family, clients and photographers alike! This is my first blog post since I shut down my blogspot.

The reason why I needed to open up a new blog is to establish a platform for me to showcase my latest works, or any update in regards to my life. Expect a few other posts which are music and basketball-related, as those are my other two passions.

I’ll start off by posting photos from the photography workshop that I was invited to yesterday, the inaugural Shoot Like A Pro Workshop by Louis Pang.

Louis is no stranger in the Wedding Photography scene. Here’s an excerpt from one of the press releases by Louis Pang Studio:

“Louis travels the world to photograph weddings, engagement sessions and
modern portraiture. The Star calls him “the passionate newcomer” with his
fresh and contemporary style of work.

Louis is Malaysia’s most awarded wedding & portrait photographer and the
first Malaysian to win first place in Wedding & Portrait Photographers
International (WPPI), the world’s largest and most prestigious wedding
photography competitions. Widely regarded as the Oscars of wedding and
portrait photographers, Louis had won five WPPI awards since July 2007.

Louis was appointed Epson Stylus Pro in 2006. This is an elite fraternity of
professional photographers specially chosen for their exception vision and
technical know-how. Louis is a dedicated educator of digital photography who
teaches and writes on this field.

Wedding assignments have brought Louis to Australia, England, Holland, Hong
Kong, India, Philippines, Singapore, USA & Thailand. He thrives on the challenge
of working in different environment and cultures, and enjoys the fun of seeing
the world wherever his work brings him to.

He and his lovely wife, Jasmine, make picturesque Sabah, East Malaysia their
home and are making beautiful memories for themselves in their marriage.”

Without further ado, here are my photos from the workshop. Comments and critiques are very much welcomed. It’s the fastest way to grow, so shoot on lads!

My most favourite shot from the workshop.

Making use of video lighting - creative lighting.

Using natural light to accentuate the subject, making use of the shadows and posing techniques
