Photojournalism | Album for The President

I’ve mention previously in my post that among other responsibility of our Photography Unit in Information Department of Malaysia is to make full coverage of the official visit of The President or The Prime Minister to Malaysia. From the moment they touch down at our airport in KLIA Kuala Lumpur International Airport, our photographers are already there waiting for their arrival. Most of the times their itinerary or schedule is very pack, so as one of the official photographers for the Government of Malaysia we have to position ourselves at many place, there is photographer already waiting at the Parliament for the official welcoming ceremony, at National Palace or at Prime Minister Department.

After everything was done, all the pictures will be compiled into one photo album and will be given to The President or The Prime Minister before departure at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. There is nothing special about this procedure because we have done it many years before since the black and white era. I think it is good for me to let you know among our function as one of The Official Photographer for The Government of Malaysia. We have more than twenty photographers at Kuala Lumpur, the headquarters. That may look a lot but trust me, sometimes we are running out of man power because we are not only doing photography coverage in Kuala Lumpur alone but all over the state and sometimes following our leaders to visit other country around the world.

To be honest with you I don’t really enjoy posting this kind of “mundane” post, but maybe once in awhile I’ll let you know what I do for a living and not just taking picture of my own son, but taking picture of my very own son is my ultimate passion in photography at the moment. You will see more of my son, HaiQal picture here more than anything else other than occasionally my travel picture.
