Photography With Impact 2
Ever since, I've had to believe photography isn't just about press, focus and snap... there's so much more than that. To me, it's about emotions.. and capturing the right moment... I also always believe (for now!) that if you snap a really freaking good shot, the satisfaction is... aaaargghh!!...*grip fist hard, shake a little bit...* d*mn priceless!! *yes, read that sentence again, this time with more soul! LOL!*
....CURRENTLY... I really got some serious issue with photo editors, video makers... those things make me - ADDICTED! haha
First of all, i would LOVE to express infinite gratitude to Sarawak Bloggers (please visit @ Sarawak Bloggers) for giving me this opportunity to attend this and of course to Alvin Leong Academy for having such a wonderful seminar.

Last month I went to a seminar about Photography Expression, organised and held in Pustaka. The speaker that day was Mr Mohamad Gustie Noorambia a.k.a. Aiok99, a professional photographer for Dunia Sukan Online and also for Kosmo!. Anyways, the seminar was fun and new experience for me because he taught us how to snapshots and what to capture for sport event(which I was surprised at first because all I hope to learn about giving expression how to
Back to the main event here..., I always want to attend their seminars and surprisingly it's affordable RM15 per person for 2hours (with refreshment)!
F.Y.I : This is the second time after the first session of 'Photography with Impact' a few months ago. *oh yeah, I totally missed that... (TT__TT) *
Anyways, this 'Photography with Impact 2' is featuring two experienced speakers - Mr Charles Kung (Malaysian Photographer) and Mr Gerry Fox (Scottish Photographer) with a theme PHOTOJOURNALISM UNFOLDED...*class gitu..<3*
After starting off with the academy introduction video, the first speaker is Mr Charles Kung with his topic on "Photojournalistic Journey". While using his own best - picked photos (even he told us some was a bad one - I still vote it all good photos), Mr Charles explain the 5 Ws rules (What, Who, Why, When and Where) and many more tips to be a good photojournalist WITH a good quality of photos.

He also gives us some tips on how to utilized natural lights if we happen to have anything other than
1. Approach the subject and do not just simply shots. Must not continue shooting if the subject didn't feel comfortable or refuse.
2. Do not affect the situation - be neutral and honest (while taking the photo - as a photojournalist).
3. If we (the photojournalist) affect the scene - just leave. Example: If we're taking photos of a drifter on the street but they seem not cooperating, we might as well just leave and come back the next day or some other time.)
4. Be as close as you can to take shots of the subject.
5. Do not shoot once... Always try to shoot the same photo a few time (i think this is when the Mighty DSLR coming.. faster shutter..)
and my 2 cents..., I'm so happy to be here...
