Tis the hectic month of June

June has been a really busy month - 3 wedding assignments, 1 session at ROM, meeting up potential couples of Lyrical Moments photography, 4 outstanding albums to work on, meeting up with sales reps...

The most interesting photos I've taken earlier this month would be the 3-month old Nicole. Finally, something different from my usual diet of weddings. Brought some studio lights, loaded a roll of Fuji Neopan 400 (my favourite black and white film) and took a few shoots in the apartment.

Just spent an hour developing the roll of black and white film, waiting for it to air dry before scanning it, will post that later, but here's one from the digital cam. Caucasian babies are just so cute!

To blog or not to blog.

Finally decided to start my own blog that's related to my photography business. These entries are the milestones of my career as a professional photographer.

Many folks have asked me "so what's this wedding photojournalistic style that you're into?" Well, a lot of the info can be found at http://www.wpja.com and lots of examples on photojournalistic style. My calling as a wedding photographer is to create for the couples their pictorial storybook of their big day, one that will be passed down for the next generations to remember. All the photos that you see in the wedding section of my website (http://www.lyricalmoments.com) are neither posed nor dictated by the photographer. Group /posed photos can only tell us that much about the wedding, and moreover, many relative and friends these days do bring their own digital cameras to the weddings to snap those group shots.

I am fortunate to be accepted, amongst some of the top wedding photographers in Singapore, by the Wedding Photojournalist Association, http://www.wpja.com. The whole process of application and review of my website took 2 weeks to complete before I got my confirmation email for the membership, offered only to those whose works are true to style of photojournalism.

This blog is dedicated to all couples of Lyrical Moments, past and future, who have given me the honour to take on the task of documenting their most important day of their lives.
