Cameron Highland

Photobucket
Hi Guys! Its Friday again :) I guess it is time to update. This photo that I took on a recent trip with Hooi Ling at Cameron Highland, I always wonder how can I shoot a nice Cameron Tea plantation photo despite of my many attempt and I just can't get the color, contrast and most important of all.. the feel of it haha! I guess I got it this time and at least this is the best of all the years attempting to get 1. Sometimes I just can't help it but to sit down to think and ask myself this question over and over again, "Louis, what you love to shoot most?" Well, I won't tell you that I love to shoot wedding the most, serious. I remembered I've been asked before "Why you love to take wedding pictures?" I told him straight "because I loved to see people happy". Yeah thats the only reason I can think off and it is as simple as that. Many asked me this as well "Why don't you get your photos on competition and get some awards? then your business will grow!" HAhaHA! using my client's important occasion for my own gain and fame? I always telling myself this, that I'm one of the honoured guest to get an invitation to a wedding, I wanted to record down what I witnessed and not to look for an award winning photo. As for me, it is already enough to see my clients' happy face in the end of everything, a big hug, a thank you is what I'm looking for. On one occasion, the day suppose to be a bad day for me... towards the end of their reception, both the bride & groom gave me a BIG HUG saying thank you! ahhhhh I can't recall anything bad happening to me anymore. Thank you ya'll! you know who you are! hahahaha!

I'm beginning to love you more. Hahaha.. I really like what you said, "using my client's important occasion for my own gain and fame?" Honesty to ourselves FREES US! I ask myself everyday why I ever pick up photography and why did I become a professional photographer. Let not money and fame be our motivation but what's originally true in our hearts!

Haha.. Me too. Wedding is not my favorite type of photography. But I do enjoy being able to capture the sweet memory of the day for the couples and their families. That is the reward for me. Screw the awards. I agree with you. Excellent post.
