Digital Matte Painting - Ruins

2010-03-26T07:29:00.000-07:00

I know i know it's not really Digital Photography...but i would like to receive some comments on this. Because personally I believe this may be a new passion that is rising slowly within me. Anyways, the picture of 'Before' is taken near KL Sentral, and the picture of 'After' is after heavy photo manipulation.

As usual...your comments are deeply appreciated! ^^

A Little Unforseen Problem

2010-01-12T05:30:00.000-08:00

I experience some technical difficulties when i was back in my old hometown melaka; which explains the reason of why my blog is currently inactive.

My laptop which holds most of my pictures are now in Acer; for the 2nd time! Sigh...im begining to doubt my decision of purchasing a laptop of Acer's brand.

Anyways, when I am back in Cyberjaya; i shall upload several new pictures that i have manage to snap in this period of several weeks; so....stay tuned....

I did not upload this picture previously because i believed that since the rest of the pictures are in monochrome then that picture should be monochrome too. But since upon receiving request from Chathra Weeraman i have decided to upload this version also.

Fazri Nuha's Advice

2009-12-04T10:05:00.000-08:00

I am truly sorry for those; if any; who are even for a little, annoyed with my over-explained remarks of my previous pictures ^.^

I am very new to this and i humbly ask all of you to let it slide by. Please treat it as my mistake due to my poor level of experience.

I shall try to make this blog more educational and professional hopefully from now on.

Thanks alot Fazri.

Trying to Create a mood of Desperation/Lamentation

2009-11-22T12:52:00.000-08:00

Welcome to my next photography journey. When i took these shots, what i had in mind was a dramatic little girl facing extremely difficult and disturbing problems. hence a moody tonality of the picture is achieved by making it monochromatic. The balance of Black and White here is a little bit disturbed to give that mood.

The Mountains of Sabah

2009-11-22T12:22:00.000-08:00

I took these pictures at one of the small village up on the mountain areas. It was around the mountain of Mount Kinabalu. My friend's Dad and Mum brought us here to eat the fruit they called Pulasan. Its a fantastic fruit that everyone should really try, though unfortunately it was said to be found only in Sabah. Damn...i miss that fruit.

KISS

"Keep It Simple Stupid!"

"If everything is of equal importance and focus, then nothing is important."

"Camera is an extension of your eye."

"If you are able to summarize what you want to say in a short but powerful sentence, then you fully understand what you intend to say."

( Mr. Che Ahmad Azhar Bin Fadzil, Specialist, Program Coordinator, and Lecturer of Photography of Multimedia Univesity Cyberjaya, 2008 and 2009 mentioned repeatedly)

I hate this guy. Seriously, i hate him, cost me alot of sleepless nights and near tears. Ironically most of his words are true to its core, hence the feelings i got towards him are of both Hatred and Admiration. A weird but powerful combination i would say.

"Keep It Simple Stupid!" - everything in a photography must be direct and simple. Do not waste time with unnecessary things which held no purpose in the process of telling the 'message'

"If everything is of equal importance and focus, then nothing is important." - just as how it sounds.

"Camera is an extension of your eye." - just as how it sounds.

"If you are able to summarize what you want to say in a short but powerful sentence, then you fully understand what you intend to say." - He said this in Design Fundamental 1, where a Design Statement should be no longer then a sentence. A simple and powerful sentence, often comes along with a metaphor, is highly needed in the process of delivering a message. Personally i use this piece of advice more into photography. If i am able to tell everything i intended to say in a simple but powerful photography, then i succeeded.

Picture Naming

2009-11-22T08:49:00.000-08:00

"Naming your pictures is a very risky move, as viewers tend to read the title, and try to perceive your photo based on that title instead of admiring the picture by itself, mostly creating a confusion of message instead of what the photographer originally intended."

(Mr. Muhammad Jafni Jusof, Photography Assistant Lecturer of Multimedia University Cyberjaya, 2009 )

I receive this comment instantaneously when Mr.Jafni saw my photos for the first time in digital format during the time i consulted him in his room with my pendrive. I realized immediately from the eye of a trained photographer, it is very easy to counter the message intended from a particular photo.

Hence starting from today until many years after i will refrain myself from giving....no ..branding my pictures with titles that may only distract the viewers, until the day where i see myself as a full fledged photographer of Mr,Jafni's standards then only i'll think otherwise.

CHOWIE PEOPLE >.<

Introduction

2009-11-22T08:47:00.001-08:00

Helo everyone, Eddy Izuwan here, the whack job photographer wanna be who doesnt really have the time for what he wants to do. Anyways this blog is specifically created for me to update on my daily lifes, and more importantly somewhere i can put in my photos for public view.

My good friends had been asking me to go for a more professional approach, such as creating my own website and such, but i personally do prefer to start of this way, as going by such an approach is a little bit too bold in my opinion for my level of amateurness. That's it then, i'll try my best to upload as many work as i can over here, occasionally inclusive of other design work which i am currently working on.
