    Tips Fotografi Mendapatkan Catch Light Pada Mata Subjek

    Topik tentang Catch Light ini sebenarnya pernah saya tulis pada tahun 2010 dengan tajuk How To Get a Catchlight , cuma kali ini saya ingin menulis dengan sedikit ringkas sahaja.  Secara asasnya “Catch Light” ini adalah reflection atau kesan pantulan cahaya ataupun bahagian yang terang di mata kita. Sekiranya kita memandang ke arah dinding yang hitam, maka warna hitamlah yang akan memenuhi bahagian mata kita, manakala sekiranya kita memandang dinding yang putih atau terang, maka kesan cerah atau terang akan kelihatan di mata kita.

    Tips Fotografi Portrait | Memilih Titik Fokus Yang Betul

    “Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; The most massive characters are seared with scars.” – Khalil Gibran – Bila kita melihat wajah seseorang, bahagian yang kita akan pandang atau lihat terlebih dahulu sudah tentu bahagian matanya. Sebab itulah ada pepatah yang mengatakan “Dari Mata Turun Ke Hati.” Tetapi dalam keadaan tertentu, mungkin bukan bahagian mata yang menjadi perhatian kita terlebih dahulu, mungkin jenis topi atau head gear yang dipakai, jenis anting-anting yang dipakai ditelinga atau yang ditindik dihidung, sebab mungkin bahagian itu yang lebih menonjol berbanding yang lain.

    Photographing Children Is Never Easy

    © 2014 Wazari Wazir | My Children | Photographing Them Was Never Easy It may look like they are well behaved but the truth is it is never easy for me to photograph them, I’ve had to do all kind of funny and stupid things to get their attention but even though I did get their attention, it is hard for me to get the reaction that I want. You can see HaiQal the big brother is not looking so happy, maybe after all this years becoming the attention of my lens he  gets bored. Actually the best place to get our children picture is to let them play on…

    Children Photography | Once Upon a Time in Cameron Highlands

    © 2013 Wazari Wazir | My Children at Cameron Highlands Tea Plantation Nowadays I try as much as I can to take a photograph of my children with an environmental background,  something that add context to the picture, something that have story to tell. When I’ve my first child HaiQal, we didn’t have any mean of transportation, I mean we don’t have a car, so it can be quite difficult for us to going somewhere using a public transportation, that’s why most of HaiQal pictures back then were taken around my house, normally just a close up portrait of my son alone or with his mother. To be honest with…
