I
shot my first funeral today at Fook lu Siew Funeral Parlour(room
2c)..fiuhhh...Saya rasa ganjil jadi photographer untuk yg sudah *gulp.
Weird man..!! Katapi customer cari saya,bukan kemahuan saya ya. I don't look for photo opportunities like this, but they seem to find me.Tapi bila saya pikir-pikir, bila lagi mau coba lain dari yg lain..kan~~!! I
believe that, as long as you don't distract anyone or interrupt
anyone, taking photos at a funeral would be fine, even appreciated later
on in life..*kasi sedap hati..mehehehhe..~~!!! It won't be an easy job
to photograph a funeral...ko jila ka pikir main timbak saja...??? Susah
wooo....misti mental kuat..mahahaha...~~!!! Haihh..lepas saja saya abis
tangkap gambar,saya rasa ganjil sepanjang perjalanan pulang,macam ada
saja bau mayat dekat saya..*mungkin popium saya sudah bangas..*kasi
sedap hati lagi. Tapi yg siuk dia,saya dapat angpao. Satu angpau bukan
sikit wo kawan..!!! Rm 100,Rm50..kira la berapa saya dapat kalau 3
angpau...???2 kali ganda dari servis yg saya cas
dorang...bugidaiiiii...!!! Tia rugi juga la saya ambik halfday
keja..mehehehhe..at least saya ada pengalaman sudah mau buat ni
servis.Tiba-tiba saya dapat ni idea>>funeral photography is a
great idea, why not.. we do photos at births, weddings ect.. ect, so
why not funerals .. maybe not get too creative and have the deceased
sitting upright in the casket with their family members all standing
around ..but...yes I think there is a market for tasteful funeral
photography...!!!mehehehehhee...kan..bisnis mah~~!!
But you have to remember to respect if some people does not want his/her photo taken,sentiasa sensitif sama urang disana..pasal apa??? Pasal itu bukan macam event yg buli "huhuuhahhahah". Itu apa yang saya belajar sindiri masa saya ambik gambar funeral. Sama don't OVERSHOOT. It isn't a wedding so no machine gunning. PAHAM..??
My personal point of view- Photography is about memories, as long the photographer pay respect to the funeral. Itu Sahaja.

That is a memory I will NEVER forget, but a photo of that moment would have been VERY special.
