1 – I started my career as a full time photographer on 7th of November 2008, that is my first time going out of Malaysia to do a pre wedding session for a wonderful couple from Sabah+ Sarawak In Bali.

2- Ever since i quit my daytime job, i strive very hard to learn, educate and equip  myself with with as much knowledge as i can about photography.

3- Because i don’t like theory or reading thick book with thousand of pages, i decided to learn photography on my own.

4- I bought Canon DSLR 350D, because i frustrated with my Nikon coolPix 7.1Mp, the super slow point and shoot camera which i finally gave it to my sister. So NOW I lOVE CANON and not NIKON. it is your choice. either you go for the brand / the physical product itself.

5- I never thought i will end up as a Wedding photographer nor i ever dream to quit my job to pursue photography as my full time career, because at that time, i only knew one sabah born Successful photographer + award winning which is Louis Pang

He is one very inspiring photographer who open a lot of eyes to start doing Wedding photography.

6- i was born as a kg boy, my community do not speak english, my mom converse in kadazan with me and my dad malay, while us the siblings converse in malay.  in short i can’t speak chinese language…which is a big lost to me. So at the age of 12 my mom ask me to go to kedai tukang gambar to get my IC photo to be done there.

So the title is TUKANG Gambar and does the word sound delicious to you? NO right. I have to be honest with you that i never really in love or have the dream to be a Tukang Gambar one day, as i always wanted to go to University to pursue my education for a better future. ( Which i did.)

7- being a full time photographer, i browse around the net checking others world top wedding photographer and do a quick scan about their photos quality, and the composition. In short, i always ask myself, HOW DO THESE GREAT PHOTOGRAPHERS, Came up with jaw dropping, eye popping, pin sharp, real colors, vignetting effect, creative edit, fine art photo. I always have these question in my head even until now.

8- So the answer is Photoshop. Long time ago, i always think like this;  if you are good in photoshop, you will produce great images! just as the top notch photographers around the world.

the fact is? I was wrong, there is no way for a photoshop to fix or to create the images, because you create the images inside your camera not from Photoshop to your camera.

So, i was dumb enough to believe photography is just like a graphic designer work. one big slap on my face.

9- now, i understood very well, photoshop is just a complement to create great images (with post processing)

10- very simple, take a look at these question:

a) Will you buy a Working  BMW (3 series) without paint on its body? knowing that you don’t

know how to paint.

b) Is it Okey, To eat at KFC if they don’t put any flavor to their fried chicken? and you still

have to pay the same price as of now?

I believe the Answer is NO.

11- The same goes with photos, is it appropriate to simply post Bad photos / improper photo / or the subject looks real bad / not processed carefully

My answer NO.

because i want my subject to look 200% stunning in their pics, it is as simple as because we all want to look good, beautiful and handsome in photos.

12- Photoshop? A complement to digital photography World, it is a standard that we can’t ignore.

We want to highlight the subject in the picture

We want to create a stunning picture without altering the subject / person in the picture.

We want to create fine art picture.

We want to create good quality product.

13- But i don’t like Photoshop, How? I Don’t know which photographer don’t like photoshop, but if you are one of them, i have to give you my best Salute.

14 – Ask this to yourself ; Is it because you don’t like photoshop or it is  because you do not know how to use it? or you sincerely don’t like photoshop because you just don’t like it?

15 -Because Camera is just a tool, to let you capture great images in normal condition and with   acceptable quality.

Photoshop is the only way for you to create something different, eg, Fine Art digital images.

16- If you are a photographer, it is your choice  whether you want to present the normal picture without post processing to you client, But to me it is like selling a BMW car without paint on its body.

17-  is this a photographer dilemmas or simply a defense mechanism ? You ask yourself.

18- What type of photos do i like? the one already being manipulated, carefully crafted, edited, with a great punch to the photos, and something that can create a timeless images, yes this is my taste.

19- Now let me clear the air, it is your choice, to use photoshop / any photo editing software or not. this is not a must for every photographers. because in the end it will still you yourself who produce the images and not anyone else.

20- at first I thought photography is easy, No, it is not easy, because it require more than just a camera or skills to create art quality images.

21- i read one article in a magazine 5 months ago, and it written like this :

Photography isn’t about having expensive camera, it is about passion and how much love you put into your works, it is about honesty. it required talents and perfect practice to create stunning images. Some people may excel and some people may not. If your talent is there it wont take a decade to discover it,  try this, show your work to your mom, and if your mom didn’t say wow at your work you should stop from doing it.  Almost 80% photographers in the world living in a poor condition due to pricing issue.

It makes me think twice after reading that line, did i made the right decision to quit my job? or should i show my work to my mom which she will surely think and say this to me ” Ha? Apa barang nie?”

well you do the thinking…..
