See It Through Szen's Eye



I am not yet a professional photographer, but I plan to be real soon. I absolutely love taking pictures. I shoot from my heart. I shoot what I feel, what I love. Photography is the best hobby I’ve ever had and I’ve found out that if you do something that you genuinely love, you’ll excel in it and you’ll have your supporters!

I will never forget

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.
