My 3rd day in Japan basically fully occupied  with my photography workshop. The workshop happened in Malaysia Embassy grand hall. Thank Embassy for being really supportive. Not to forget MSAJ and my host Hafiz & Zack. Without the effort from you, this workshop will not be realized. The workshop was full-house as this is a workshop and not a seminar. For seminar, 1000 people in a hall is not a big issue, but for workshop is totally different. I need to give hands-on training to most of them.

The pictures taken for today were taken in 2 hours walk around Shibuya. Particpants of the workshop has been trained to sharpen their eyes to see their surrounding and make pictures out of it. We ended the workshop for that day with a dinner at Danny’s next to Malaysia Embassy. Thank Kak Aini for providing food for the participants. InsyaAllah, I will be in Japan again this year. Just wait for the time. We’re working on something now 😉

Enjoice!

Today was a very long day. It started with lunch at Qayyum’s house in Chiba. We then took a train to Tokyo. The first destination was Akihabara, better known as the Electric City of Tokyo. If you are a gadget maniac, this would definitely be your heaven on earth. I’m not much of a gadget person, so it was nothing but another photography opportunity. All I can say is that Japan is definitely a well developed and modern country with the latest in technological advances. 

I was with Zack and Hafiz today. After Akibahara, we moved on to Shibuya, another must-see place in Tokyo. Everyday, literally millions of people cross the road. During off-peak period, there are thousands of people crossing that famous crossroad every minute. I didn’t spend much time there as I had a scheduled dinner meeting with the biggest photography community in Japan (PSJ) organized by the Malaysian Embassy, JPA and MSAJ. It was a fruitful meeting between two countries, with conversation centering on photography and tourism. Yutaka Ohiro San, Emmey Takahashi San, Sachiko Nakata San and Kamiya Kyoko San from PSJ as well as the Director from the Malaysian Embassy, and the Counsellor and Director of Tourism Malaysia were there to lend their support for the program.

Tomorrow, I will be having my first workshop outside South East Asia. My next destination will be Moscow this coming April. InsyaAllah, I’ll be in Japan again soon.

Alhamdulillah I landed safely at Narita, Tokyo this afternoon. Tokyo is still experiencing winter. Temperature is still around 2-10 degrees celcius. Hafiz & Apeng who are currently studying here for their post-grad picked me up at the airport. Hafiz is currently my host for the “SN live in Tokyo” workshop in Shibuya Tokyo. My thanks go to the Malaysian Embassy & MSAJ for their generous support for this program.

What was surprising was the fact that the embassy had arranged a dinner meeting with PSJ (Photographic Society of Japan) – a friendship meeting between Malaysia-Japan Photography community. I’m here under the ticket of MAPA (Malaysia Academy of Photography Arts). The first day is done and I’m glad everything went well and wonderful. Hafiz and I are now planning for a casual shoot around Tokyo. I’m looking forward to that and more pictures will be updated here. For more pictures, click on the link to my facebook fan club below.

Till then…enjoice!

Hi all, I’m leaving for Tokyo this week. I’m planning to provide photographic updates of my trip in this blog or at least through my fan club facebook. Come and invite your friends to join and follow this “gonna-be-fantastic” trip. This is going to be my first trip to Japan. 5 years ago, I almost made it there. Unfortunately, due to my client’s financial problem, the trip was cancelled.

Salam hormat semua, ekoran dari isu yang telah saya timbulkan lebih kurang sebulan yang lepas, dengan ini saya membuat satu kenyataan untuk meminta maaf kepada seluruh tenaga kerja Jurugambar Press & Media keseluruhannya di Malaysia.

Surat ini juga telah dihantarkan kepada kebanyakan syarikat press seperti Kumpulan Utusan, The Star, Kumpulan NST, Karangkraf, Bernama dan lain-lain. Saya berazam untuk tidak mengulangi lagi kenyataan seperti “Fotografer Press ramai tak pandai ambil gambar…” atau apa-apa yang seangkatan dengannya yang boleh mencalar kredibiliti kerjaya mereka juga profession mereka samaada secara langsung atau yang terkena pada individu-individu tertentu. Saya berharap, surat terbuka ini tidak dijadikan polemik bagi pihak ke-3 lagi.

Salam hormat

POINT TO PONDER

I’m a photographer and I’m just like any others. I’m a human being hence…I’m not perfect. If you happen to hire me, expect 60% and if I give you 90% you will be very happy. If you put the expectation at 100%, if I managed to get just 99%, you will be very upset. There are some pictures in others’ wedding will not be in your wedding…even you adore it so much. Bear in mind, there are pictures in your wedding that others don’t have. So…enjoy your wedding!

MY NOTE:

I enjoyed so much shooting this wedding. It was about 2 months ago. I thing I like this couple is because they let my idea go freely. Night photography outdoor is 10 times harder than day time. That was the 2nd time I shoot for Ibrahim’s family.

For more pictures of this wedding, kindly click my facebook fan club banner at the bottom of this entry. There you can see hundred of the photos from this wedding. I still owe a fantastic dinner function. It was fantastic…especially the first dance moment. According to Muntaj, the first dance was practically switzerland culture. I loive it!

Enjoice!
