    Selamat Ulang Tahun Buat Raphael

    © 2016 Wazari Wazir | Happy Birthday Raphael Masa cukup pantas berlalu, kini Raphael telah genap usia 5 tahun pada 7 Jun ini, Syukur Alhamdulillah. Kami memang tidak pernah buat majlis sambutan Hari Jadi untuk mana-mana anak-anak kami, hanya disambut bersama keluarga sahaja. Beli kek, potong kek, tiup lilin tak lebih sebagai kenangan terutamanya dalam bentuk photography. Seperti kebiasaan, sebelum memotong kek, kami akan tutup lampu dahulu dan rakam gambar hanya dengan diterangi cahaya lilin sahaja, baru nampak dramatik sikit berbanding dengan suasana yang terang benderang, lepas ambil gambar, pasang lampu, potong kek dan makan seadanya. Gambar dirakam secara self-timer, kamera diletakkan di atas tripod. Beli kek pun separuh, bukan pasal…

    Portrait Photography With Fujifilm X100T

    © 2015 Wazari Wazir | My Little Children | Raphael and Arianna | Photographs Taken With Fujifilm X100T Wide angle lens is really not an ideal portrait lens, normally photographer will use a focal length range from 85 mm to 135 mm for a portrait lens or longer, this is because a longer focal length will give a flattering look to the portrait compared to a slight distortion if it were taken with wide angle lens such as with this Fujifilm X100T camera which have a fixed focal length of 23 mm or equivalent of 35 mm in full frame camera. Anyway sometimes a wide angle lens such as 35…

    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…

    © 2014 Wazari Wazir | Celebrating Raphael Three Years Old | 7th June 2014 “If these picture have anything important to say to future generations, it’s this, I was here, existed.

    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…
