ChungerI do not what budget you guys have in mind. Bear in mind that you get a limited time frame with the gowns and getting family together for the shoot can be difficult if it is big. While a hobby shooter with some portable equipment could do the job... the crux is often who is the one shooting not the props. It is a devil of a pain to have this redone if the results are not what you expected..... photogs expect more. I would suggest you give Portraite Gallery a call - 62357757 they do these as a matter of daily routine. Let them know I recommend you in - perhaps that could get you a better deal.I doubt if the savings can be that much from using a hobby shooter with some equipment and going down to a proper studio - after all the hobby shooter is not likely to charge just $100 for the job which if transport, setup, shooting, set down tranport time factored in will be around a half or 3/4 day job.

It depends. While i agree in general with ellery, i 've shot with my friends as well as FOR some of them as well. Nowadays, you have to "BUY" your gown and the amount of time you can hold on to your gown is pretty long.

To be honest, i did for some friends of mine, and for my own brother. I rented a studio, got some makeup artiste to do the makeup and got the shots that they wanted. for my own family, my total output was $120. for my friends....heheheh.....ellery is right to say its DEFINITELY not $100 only .... but main thing is, the pictures turned out the way they wanted

While i woudln't be overly paranoid with giving others a chance, its still impt to bear in mind who has the ability to PULL the shoot off and who can't.

Ultimately, i think we all have to think, if you don't try, u won't know.

Chunger> my 2 cts. Since you can do the job, y don't you give it a try. Yes, its probably going to stress u out for the next 1-2 weeks mentally preparing or even physically preparing for the shoot, but i assure you that post that one time "siong siong" experience, you will either make or break. I trust that you're detailed enough to be able to plan and execute those sessions to what your friends need. communication is NOT the key, thats just a tool. CORRECT communication is the key to the lock. Your friends prolly know you and prolly can "click" alot better than others, Make use of that advantage!

If you're hesitant to give it a shot yourself, it'll always be difficult to gain an experience


thats just my neng jiam

Thank you, I am not looking for hobby shooter to do the job. Just need some good recommendation of studio that do this kind of shoot often. As my frens said budget is not really a problem ( as long reasonable), quality is it the more critical one as this is a once in a life time thing.

Thank you, I will give them a call.

Thank you for your advice, actually I have though about doing it for my friend. But their requirement kinda high, so I will just pass on to those proffesional. Unless they find the pricing from those studio is too expensive or too limited on the prints. Then I will let them know about the other alternative.

the people from portrait gallery and portrait masters sound good.. after all they do have "portrait" in their business name! both are located within walking distance of each other at river valley.

some other folks who do this include broadway, raffles photogs.

i met a fellow CSer who was looking to do this very cheaply. he mentioned that JB studios can do it for 200 ringgit.

 

[Tuck Loong]

Yea the Johor and KL studios can do it cheaply (30-50% cheaper than Sing) with canvas and big enlargements

There are a few in Batam too which is 25% cheaper than Malaysian studios

If logistic is a constraint, go for clementi broadway...one of the best in Family Grad photos

Hi chunger, sorry I did not reply to your PM as I have and will be very busy for the past 1 week and the next 2 weeks too. While I do family portraits, I am afraid I would not be able to take the job for the time being.

Hi ellery, good suggestion to chunger, I think I need to clarify here. In case you may not know. I was a hobbyist but I have been a full time working photographer, with my own company, for quite some time. Just that I do not advertise my services in CS. In fact I just did an aerial photography assignment, yesterday for a corporate client amid an ongoing assignment together with a friend of ours. Cheers.

Okie got to go to work now.

Cheers

 

[chunger]

Thanks you for all the support and ideas. I already refer all the emails and ideas to my frens. Just let them decide. ^_^

Sorry been busy with things lately.
