Big Butt...

It is the first time shooting a "car", actually, is not an official job, but using it as a chance to learn and see whether it is fun...





A big butt!!

Kaylie and Kaden (龍鳳胎)

Kaylie (younger sister) and Kaden (elder brother) is the first 龍鳳胎 I know, eventhough they are twins, they have very different characteristics!

Kaylie likes to smile but Kaden tends to be more "cool", however, shooting with them were an entertainment on its own. Eventhough the shooting only lasted for two hours, I was more exhausted then shooting a full day wedding, luckily we've postponed the shoot for a couple of weeks in order for my ankle to heel, otherwise I'm sure my ankle won't stand up to all the actions during the day.



Cutie Kaylie...






Who are you looking at mister?

My Daibo has grown up la!! (3年命正常,多3年叫長命,再多3年係神賜)

My wife scolded me many times for not taking photos of our "son"....I have to admit when we picked him up from the airport more than two years ago, I took photos of him on a weekly basis but after a couple of weeks, due to many reasons (and excuses I guess) I've stopped this habit...which I now regret very much....



The three photos above were taken when Daibo was 4 months old...and the two below were taken tonight...


He still likes to "smile" at the camera...but with his short concertration span, he will doze off very quickly. I didn't realised how much he grew in the last two years, he looks so much like a "man" now...eventhough he's only two years old, this breed of dog (Bernese Mountain dog) have a very short lifespan...there's a very common saying for this breed of dog... "3年命正常,多3年叫長命,再多3年係神賜....", regardless how many days Daibo have left, I will try my best to make it his happiest...but I hope he is 神賜的!!

Wedding Photographers in HK...

After reading an "article" from one of my best mentor Lawrence, I can't agree more with what he said about wedding photographers in Hong Kong. By no means I'm trying to comment on the 前輩's behaviors because I'm not in the field long enough to make comments, but personally, after reading what Lawrence said, I'm really sadden on the selfishness of some of the wedding photographers in HK.

I understand sometime people thinks 同行如敵國 but does this mean you can defame your competitors to raise yourself? Isn't this too naive and nonconstructive to the industry? Within couple of hours after Lawrence posted the article, there were over 10 people posted supportive comments and most of them are Lawrence's direct competitors...this is a good indicator in Lawrence's status amongst his peers.

I still remember when I "started" photography just over 2 years ago, I was just a guy who does not know the difference between aperture and shutter (for some...I still don't know the difference, but this is another story), I've asked Lawrence so many questions so many times, he still tried his best to answer each and everyone of them and from what I've learnt so far, every answers he gave were unbiased and the whole truth. I guess I was very lucky that I've met many 前輩 like Lawrence, so I was able to learn from the best and don't have to waste too much time 遊花園.

I think in order for Hong Kong Wedding Photography to thrive we need more real 前輩 like Lawrence who is willing to teach the new comers and competitors whole-heartedly as well as promote healthy competitons amongst peers to stimulate and encourage more people to try new things out of the "typical square" that most of us confined ourselves in.
