u all very cute, assist here assist there. go and shoot more lar.
chris, having a style is great, it gives u identity. but only if it comes naturally to you. don't force anything.
if you have to think too much before your shot, it's probably not natural.
then when you get back and stare at the image in PS, or play with it so much until u "luckily" get something nice by sliding the sliders here and there, it's probably not natural too.
this isn't very direct, image-specific advice, i just thought i'd make sure as i see u progress that it isn't strained (or stained by coffee hahaha....) let it be very natural and you will be very happy.

Words of wisdom!!! Just go with the flow.. but sometimes.. I get brain freeze and get stuck.
Was doing a back up for a really good photographer not too long back and somehow i just love this pic. So thought i'd share it with you guys. =)
nice shot, I love it. Could you share how you did the processing?
I owe it all to the masters i've assisted. Including you, William, Amos, Kc, Gilbert, just to name a few. It took me almost a year to and many countless questions to you guys to sort out the photography part. But only a few minutes to realise that it is not just the photography part that will help to make the cut. On many occasions, i had to ask you "How do you define the definitive moments and stay in tune with them for so many hours in a day?" And i found out only recently, You don't have to force it if not it becomes unnatural, as you've mentioned. It needs to come from the heart. As per your article found here. And in recent times, after our last conversation, i'e been smiling alot alot more looking at the images i' shot. =) thanks bro.
It became a simple logic after awhile. If i knew that i had a certain idea or "style" i liked to use, then that part of the processing chain is settled. What's next is the ability to shoot those images that makes a difference in every wedding. Very often, i tell my couples, "You're probably not gonna remember or feel as much about the time when you serve tea to your 3rd,4th,5th auntie, but when you look at an image that you can see yourself crying or showing a form of action that depicts emotions, those are the images that you would probably remember over and over again when you see them." On many occasions, i have asked also "How do you get that one shot that you know might just win you an award? or how do you shoot that one shot in the moment that you know you can make into an image that makes a difference?" Here are some compressed answers i got.
1: Ask youself if this moment will really happen.
2: Weigh the risk of missing out on other moments just to get this one (Butiffyo decide on that risk then u better make sure u get it =P)
3: Is it worth the risk if there's only 50-50% chance of it happening?
4: be patient.
5: Give yourself a time frame to wait. If it doesnt happen still. Either move on or create the shot.
6: If you create the "moment" do it in a way that it seems spontaneous. (eg. To the groom standing in the shadow with that great background and light streaming in on the side and all u need is that little light on his face. I'd go "Psst..." and point in the direction of the light just so it triggers enough curiosity in him to look in the direction i point in to get what i want"
I still see myself very much as a very new photographer in the business of fulltime wedding photography. But where i stand now, i owe to many people that took the patience to teach and share with me. I'm sure many budding photographers here apart from myself has benefited from the words of the masters. If i may just add one more advise from a non masters POV. "Keep shooting, but as you go along, ask yourself sometimes, are these imags i can smile at from the time i push the shutter button, to the time i print the images in an album?" if you find yourself saying yes more and more, you'll know you're going somewhere.
Heheh sorry to be so Chiong hei... Just thought i'd share a little that i had gone through in recent times. =)

We all get stuck from time to time bro. But don't let that get you down. Knowing your couple better is one way to get brain freezing out of the way. =)
