Family Photography at Kuala Penyu | Sabah
© 2013 Wazari Wazir | Family Outing at Kuala Penyu Beach | Sabah Malaysia North Borneo Sometimes it pays to keep it simple when photographing people. The background has nothing much to shout about, just an empty beach with no significant landmark about this place, so I try to concentrate on my subject, which is my family. The photograph of me with my children is taken by my wife. At first I did try to edit this photographs in colours but I just couldn’t get the mood that I want, so I decided to make it into black and white to keep it simple, to take out a distractions that came from the…

Postcard from Uludag | Bursa in WInter
© 2013 Wazari Wazir | Snowstorm in Uludag | Bursa Turkey “Then Come The Wild Weather, Come Sleet or Come Snow, We Will Stand by Each Other, However it Blow.” – Simon Dach – We were hit hard by snowstorm during our arrival at Uludag after about one hour journey by a taxi from our hotel in Bursa. I really wish before our departure that we will get a nice weather, a dry snowy scene so that I can take a beautiful picture of my family against the white snow but instead, we were greeted by a heavy snowstorm.

© 2011 Wazari Wazir | Mother and Son | Paddy Field | Sekinchan Selangor “As I have practiced it, photography produces pleasure by simplicity. I see something special and show it to the camera. A picture is produced. The moment is held until someone sees it.

Portrait Photography | Capturing The Moment
© 2011 Wazari Wazir | The Love of My Life | Lake Garden Kuala Lumpur | 50mm | ISO 200 | 1/800 | f/2 I take a lot of photograph of my family lately with my new toy iPhone 4 but that doesn’t mean I’ve abandon my DSLR altogether, I still carry the camera wherever I go out with my family because sometimes I need the quality of the big file size, maybe in the future I wanted to print the picture big on my wall and I don’t think the quality that come out from the iPhone can do that, maybe they still look great at 8×12 inch print…
