Malay Wedding

isaryan · 13th April 2009

Hello everybody,

Hopefully i can share with all of you some of my wedding photo works here. This one I did for a friend in Brunei. I like minimal PP so what you see is a mix of pp with non pp.

Hope you will enjoy them as much as i enjoy taking them. Open C&C

Thanks guys and gals

Apologies for being a forum newbie..

Here are the first batch of the pix.

2nd batch to follow comments..

OOF = Out Of Focus

OOF understanded

. All of them are actually in focus but due to the small sizes, DOF playing and soft filter applied, they looked OOF. Most malay photog that I know liked to keep everything in focus and everything lighted.

I like to play around with bokeh, colors, subjects off centre, reflections, flash from crazy angles not just bounce up.

like the shot below for example.i was less than a metre away from her and the flash was pointed to a white wall behind her and since i was too close and the wall behind her, not all parts of her face were lighted. Its a lucky shot.

And the picture below was taken with the flash angled to the side. I was lucky to get a white curtain (or maybe it was yellow..forgot already) there acting like a "softbox"

. The groom was trying to fix the veil which can't be reached by her.

Most malay couples don't do pre-wedding and/or on location wedding sessions. I like them to explore these and maybe more. However with the intricate AND thick songket attire, i doubt them getting cosy under the sun anytime soon.

I like the silhouettes the best.

isaryan · 14th April 2009

thanks stock...it seems that JT-Fied liked the silhouette shots as well. I will try to work on it.

Maybe shots against the sun. Couple wall shadows, mirror reflections...usually if I am lucky to 'see' them, otherwise planning the shots in advance in my head hehe.

Thank you for your kind time and advice. Really appreciate it.
