Really felt exhausted after the whole event, but after viewing the photos on the next day, I think all the effort is worthwhile...<br />
<br />
They are such a wonderful couple that really take care of the photographer, I have been asked a umpteen time to eat and rest and the best of all, I get to eat a whole abalone during the dinner! Wow...how good a treatment can a wedding photographer gets.<br />
<br />
Well, I really appreciate all of this :)<br />

This is like my 3rd times either attending a wedding or doing wedding photography assignment at Novotel in this year alone, what a popular Hotel I guess.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I am glad that I can have a proper meal and my time to relax and see how fellow wedding photographer in actions. I do learnt alot by observing too. <br />
<br />
Just took a few casual shots of the match-in, as it's better not to obstruct the main photographer from doing her job. <br />
<br />
They look so joyful and I can see much effort putting into the wedding to make it look great! I wish them a blissful marriage ever after.<br />

Was actually thinking of what is a better place to shoot little Zoe and family. I needed to pass Monica Zoe's birthday party photos and intend to pay her a home visit to discuss the on location shoot as well.<br /><br />What a nice surprise am I into. Monica apartment was really well furnished, equivalent to a 5 stars hotel and with every nice corner for photography...that's where i should shoot Zoe, at the luxury and comfort of home!<br /><br />I wanted my photos to be casual yet with the quality of "studio" session, brought in a whole brunch of lighting equipments on the assignment day. Rachael aka wifey who is also my art director cum baby cheerer assisted me with the shoot, so glad she is able to help me with this. It was planned for a 2 hours session and we ended with a 5 hours! Did we shoot for 5 hours? of course NO... we chased after baby Zoe for 5 hours!...<br /><br /><br /><CENTER><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/zoe/home/z1.jpg" width="500"></CENTER><br /><br /><CENTER><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/zoe/home/z2.jpg" width="780"></CENTER><br /><br /><CENTER><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/zoe/home/z3.jpg" width="780"></CENTER><br /><br /><CENTER><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/zoe/home/z4.jpg" width="500"></CENTER><br /><br /><CENTER><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/zoe/home/z5.jpg" width="500"></CENTER><br /><br /><CENTER><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/zoe/home/z6.jpg" width="500"></CENTER>Edmund Lauhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10205762197623999051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6417818299948673642.post-37637506585250910162010-05-02T07:42:00.001-07:002010-05-02T07:56:28.768-07:00Hi ! I m still shooting!It's been so silence in my blog recently that quite a couple of friends started to ask if I am still in the photography business. And my answer is a definite YES!<br /><br />Of course I am still shooting and infact is so pre-occupied in it that I have hardly find time to post!<br /><br />I began to see more opportunities especially after last year of portfolio in the making. Many kind friends from previous photography shoot has recommended my services and I am forever grateful to them, not only because of the business opportunity but especially the confidence they have in me...which means alot in my photography journey, to see myself improving.<br /><br />So what have i been shooting lately? --> Pre-wedding! I love that!, Food photography for a well known restaurant! Family and baby photography!<br /><br />Well, I will try to find more time so I can showcase some of the beautiful photos taken.

When Zoe's mom, Monica contacted me recently if I could shoot for Zoe's first birthday party, I am really glad that they still remember me and my photography service.<br /><br />Shooting baby required quite a different set of techniques than wedding as we cannot tell the baby to poise for us. You just need lots of patience and baby need their beauty sleep to look good and happy. I am glad I have learned and practice this skill after being a father :)<br /><br />Some photos for viewing:<br /><CENTER><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/zoe/z1.jpg" width="800"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/zoe/z2.jpg" width="800"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/zoe/z3.jpg" width="600"></CENTER>Edmund Lauhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10205762197623999051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6417818299948673642.post-89534524999265264972010-02-14T06:27:00.000-08:002010-05-22T20:59:21.395-07:00Gong Xi Fa Cai !

Eddy has been asking me to shoot for their family for quite some time, it was either my schedule was packed for the last quarter of the year or Eddy is not ready for the shoot, he wanted to look the best!<br /><br />We've finally been able to pin down a date and I was told they have been eagerly preparing for the the big day to come, shopping for the family clothes and on diet to look better! <br /><br />I did quite some googling for ideas and thinking of what would be a good theme for them. Really wish to able to capture some nice photos for their memory. Eddy has the intention to blow up some large photos to be hang on their hall.<br /><br />We've decided on Haji lane and the Changi beach would be quite ideal locations for the shoot as this would be more lifestyle photos than studio shot. We are now preparing for the formal studio shoot to happen sometime later after the Chinese new year.<br /><br />Warming up the family for the shoot wasn't too difficult as I know them well, so it easier to get them in a more relax, natural pose for the shots. It was like a pre-wedding photography for my client in a way too. The youngest daughter, Lisia is such a natural born model, she changes pose with every click of the shutter! and I really wonders where she learnt those porfessional poses. <br /><br />One thing I have realised for a family shoot as compared to the wedding shoot is that we should not stretch the timing of the photography session to be too long as it more difficult to co-ordinate a larger group and children tends to get distracted and lose interest easier.<br /><br />For this assignment, I have gotten the help of my best buddy, Vincent which offer fantastic help in terms of both logistic, choreographing and getting alternative shots, Thanks Kawan!<br /><CENTER><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/eddyfamily/a4.jpg" width="700"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/eddyfamily/a3.jpg" width="700"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/eddyfamily/a1.jpg" width="450"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/eddyfamily/a2.jpg" width="450"></CENTER>Edmund Lauhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10205762197623999051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6417818299948673642.post-62316515327025589502010-01-28T22:23:00.000-08:002010-05-22T20:59:49.775-07:00Pat's FamilySome casual shots of Pat's family that I like alot.<br /><CENTER><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/patweb/images/pat_bw_0001.jpg" width="450"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/patweb/images/pat_bw_0002.jpg" width="450"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/patweb/images/pat_bw_0003.jpg" width="450"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/patweb/images/pat_bw_0012.jpg" width="450"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/patweb/images/pat_bw_0009.jpg" width="600"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/patweb/images/pat_bw_0010.jpg" width="600"></CENTER>Edmund Lauhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10205762197623999051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6417818299948673642.post-26871436793147773542010-01-16T18:40:00.000-08:002010-05-22T21:00:08.074-07:00Some casual shoots...with LeicaMy daughter when she was sick and waiting for the doctor, so glad she is all well now.<br /><CENTER><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/film/leica1/chantel2.jpg" width="680"><br /><br /><br />Reflection<br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/film/leica1/reflection.jpg" width="680"></CENTER>Edmund Lauhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10205762197623999051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6417818299948673642.post-64148250127411335262010-01-11T08:18:00.000-08:002010-05-22T21:00:29.370-07:00Andy and Pearlyn - Part 3<CENTER><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/andypearlyn/ap14.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/andypearlyn/ap16.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/andypearlyn/ap18.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/andypearlyn/ap19.jpg"></CENTER>Edmund Lauhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10205762197623999051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6417818299948673642.post-91381488944660744932010-01-11T08:00:00.000-08:002010-05-22T21:00:43.407-07:00Andy and Pearlyn - part 2I need some colour photos in my blog :)<br /><CENTER><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/andypearlyn/ap01.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/andypearlyn/ap02.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/andypearlyn/ap04.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/andypearlyn/ap07.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/andypearlyn/ap08.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/andypearlyn/ap10.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/andypearlyn/ap11.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/andypearlyn/ap12.jpg"></CENTER>Edmund Lauhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10205762197623999051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6417818299948673642.post-21695596064752253532010-01-03T20:41:00.001-08:002010-05-22T21:01:06.058-07:00Wedding of Andy and PearlynI was looking at my main website and it's been so long since I updated them, am I not shooting wedding recently?<br /><br />Nope! infact I was quite pre-occupied by wedding shoot for the last few months when I started to do pre wedding shoot, have only the time to start updating my blog and put my main web page in the freezer for the time being. So do come here instead of my website for updates.<br /><br />To start the new year, here are some photos of a recent wedding I have taken. The super fun, warm hearted wedding of Andy and Pearlyn. It's like live telecast of a romantic movie, you find a mixture of laughter, joy and tears all in a day event.<br /> <br />I was eagerly anticipating this last wedding photo shoot of the year 2009. Long before the wedding, we have been in regular discussion and somehow I already know it going to be a well prepared and really wacky funky celebration.<br /><br />To me, how good is a wedding is not only based on how much money was thrown in but it's how much effort and thoughts are put into the wedding preparation. Despite the very long hours of photography with them, I thoroughly enjoyed taking their photos.<br /><br />As usual let me starts off with my favourite Black and White photos....<br /><br />This is my favourite photo from the day, catch her peeping and enjoying their love story montage showcase in the resting room before the church solemnization<br /><CENTER><img src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/blog/andypearlyn/apad1.jpg"><br /><br />Jacky Cheung of Singapore!

After off loading quite a fair bit of redundant stuffs, I bite the bullet and succumb to a LEICA camera.<br /><br />This is my first rangefinder and it's like a expensive toy camera to me, everything look small compared to a DSLR or SLR. Leica gave interesting name to their range of lens too...Summilux (f1.4) , Summicron (f2) , Elmarit (f2.8) etcs to differentiate based on the aperture size. I am quite amazed looking at the 50 summicron f2 lens that i gotten, in a way it look so cute and really well made as compared to my relative big size Canon 50 f.14 lens. Operation is very simple and fundamental-> Metering, Focus, Shutter speed and Aperture, so it's back to basic that I am familiar.<br /><br />Just couldn't wait to fire off my first roll of film and I did that in a hurry the next day. As usual, when you don't think and shoot, you get crap photos, so it no different with whatever cam I have used. First 2 rolls of film yielded poor result, lots of OOF (out of focus) shots as I am not too good with the new type of focusing from RF cam. It's from my third roll of firm that I can really see the Leica effect and I love it to bits.<br /><br />I am still fiddling with the camera and is still very slow in my focusing but given the right setting the result can be amazing! I started to shoot a lot in very low light and low speed! 1/15 secs and below, something i will never do with my DSLR.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/film/leica1/c4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 530px; height: 800px;" src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/film/leica1/c4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/film/leica1/c2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 530px; height: 800px;" src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/film/leica1/c2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/film/leica1/c5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 640px; height: 425px;" src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/film/leica1/c5.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/film/leica1/c3.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 640px; height: 425px;" src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/photos/film/leica1/c3.JPG" border="0" alt="" /></a>Edmund Lauhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10205762197623999051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6417818299948673642.post-38946506201249139522009-12-03T02:11:00.000-08:002010-01-11T08:34:45.969-08:00The love for Smaller CameraGiven the many chances to travel around asia and there are times when I really wish for a small handy camera with me to capture that moment. While I love my Canon 5Dmk2, it can be quite troublesome to bring along such a big work horse everywhere I go.<br /><br />Imagine bringing out a dinosaur size DSLR and expose yourself with this intimidating big lens that can look like a big cannon. The size of point and shoot camera is actually best for photojournalist style of photography but unfortunately, I can't stand the image quality of most of the PNS.<br /><br />A couple of friends has been asking me about cameras and what they are looking for are small, light and most of all with DSLR image quality cam.... that can produce nice "BOKEH" effects! (the quality of the blur background). Everyone thinks BOKEH is everything and only professional cam can do that :)<br /><br />This led me to try out some really nice camera available now -> Olympus EP1 and Panasonic GF1. They have almost the best of both world, small enough to be inconspicuous and IQ to be much better than PnS. EP1 and GF1 belongs to the Micro Four Third Standard which uses sensor that is smaller than the typical DSLR but bigger than a PNS. The best part of these type of camera is the flexibility of able to interchange with better lenses.<br /><br />But for many pro photojournalists and even collectors, the holy grail of small unobtrusive digital camera should be the Leica M9 digital rangefinder. Only in my dream can I afford one now.....Edmund Lauhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10205762197623999051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6417818299948673642.post-56755730519603897632009-12-03T02:05:00.001-08:002010-01-11T08:35:24.601-08:00Raghav's First Birthday Party ..

I am not complaining too much if the result can put a smile on my client's face :)<br />One of the events that I have shot recently is the one year old birthday celebration of little Raghav. Really excited about the assignment as I don't get to shoot indian family often and in fact this is the first time that I gotten the chance. I really like the rich vibrant colours of the traditional Indian clothing and I think it will look especially good for photography. It gave me the opportunity to understand a little more of the Indian culture too.<br /><br />The event was held over 2 venues and one of location was at a high end pub style restaurant. The lighting was on the dim side and that's means a challenge to the camera autofocus system. I have them in print now and more than please with end result.<br />Raghav is like a little handsome prince from Bollywood movie ... and here's my proof:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU3qrn082eFtujN1t6-s_ayss3FLzafWr2Y0O_5DUlx-UYPk73yotxD6XpPFWDu4vMwckohRAzvMv963bofVohsP9c5Wiomw-1IZezq8pjPDfxYPL_bzXFkDji2I4lKJSQhSetfsTVCh46/s1600/DSC_5204.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU3qrn082eFtujN1t6-s_ayss3FLzafWr2Y0O_5DUlx-UYPk73yotxD6XpPFWDu4vMwckohRAzvMv963bofVohsP9c5Wiomw-1IZezq8pjPDfxYPL_bzXFkDji2I4lKJSQhSetfsTVCh46/s400/DSC_5204.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409850949440616194" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHM9sskIa1i6GY0nZAtmfPszwbPBpZIcPNCDMCYlE2cf4bLDLJJ_VZuiZMIGWl4FzLV8qQUUlcn4mJUQerW6p6zIDO8WA5XqeHZEv4FiTGBqXGzHt3Hx5yTEPmYw9DBRg2WCiV2Tgr7MtR/s1600/DSC_5189.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHM9sskIa1i6GY0nZAtmfPszwbPBpZIcPNCDMCYlE2cf4bLDLJJ_VZuiZMIGWl4FzLV8qQUUlcn4mJUQerW6p6zIDO8WA5XqeHZEv4FiTGBqXGzHt3Hx5yTEPmYw9DBRg2WCiV2Tgr7MtR/s400/DSC_5189.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409850940021669250" /></a><br /><br /><br />more photos soonEdmund Lauhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10205762197623999051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6417818299948673642.post-4356457442557857592009-10-06T02:24:00.000-07:002010-01-11T08:36:37.702-08:00Actual Day wedding of Joseph and Jasmine - part 2The grand opening for the first dish to be served<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/weblink/jj8.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/weblink/jj9.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Joseph and Jasmine waiting anxiously for the first walk in<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/weblink/jj7.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 600px; height: 804px;" src="http://www.edmundlauphotography.com/weblink/jj7.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div>Edmund Lauhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10205762197623999051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6417818299948673642.post-78441812212584803662009-10-04T22:07:00.000-07:002009-10-04T22:41:38.787-07:00Actual Day wedding of Joseph and JasmineHave been extremely busy and hence the lack of post in my blog.
