Was thinking that it should have been better if the R of the Mag wheel was standing-straight rather than its position.. just my 2cents :)

Good point but I don't usually really like to reposition or rearrange things. I like to take things as they were :)

I suppose candid shot are like these.. although some are staged but as long as it gives the feeling of candid journalistic shots, I guess its still ok.. what I love these candid shots are their creativities.. a good example would be this photo taken with the reflection of the rim.. most candid shots are not perfect I guess but could feel the emo and their creativities senses.. this is just my opinion on shots like this.. overall, I like it.. :) and would hope to learn more from it.. to be creative in every possible way.. :)

You are correct in the sense that we're talking about two different schools of thoughts here. One one hand, you want everything as perfect as possible, so you art direct it the way you want it. On the other hand, you want to keep things as candid and as real as possible. For me, I always believe that as photographers, we are merely observers. We capture things as we see it. We don't change nor influence things. We are after all a third party observer of things unfolding in front of us
 

Indeed, in the spirit of Wedding Photojournalism; it's more about recording the genuine flow of the wedding day, less about posing and staging every now and then turning the day into photographer's shoot day.Stylised portraits could be very elaborate and planned but found details are captured as what they are. Very often weddings are fast paced with lotsa things squeezed in, time is a luxury.

Couldn't agree more!

agree with you fully! for actual wedding, i think less pose is good, natural moments are more lasting. :)

That's always the case with actual day. It's all about speed, anticipation and instinct. Pre-Weddings is a a different ball game altogether as there is an element of art direction and control. Even so, as much as possible I still try to keep the realism in pre-weddings. A lot of of this stems from the fact that I like things to look as realistic and as believable as they possibly can.
