We are relaunching Engagement shoot! I’ve been doing engagement shoot which coupled with Wedding portraits when I travel mostly, and I thought it would be nice to be able to shoot casual portraits like this near where I stay. Plenty of good light from where I am.

Spend 2 hours with me in the morning or late evening to get these wonderful photographs, which you then can upload these proofs on your facebook album, flickrs or you may even print them 4R. If you so decide with purchasing albums with Jon Low Studios, we will bring out the finesse of the photograph so it look amazing in the albums that we carry.

Let us hear you out. Fill in the Contact Us page and we will get back to you soon!

I was going through my hard drive and bumped into this video again after some time. Let me share this video with you:

He had 30 million views to date. The video went viral on youtube when it was launched. What an incredible video. This was probably one of his finest ones produced. Great use of the music score, with many points in the that works well. I particularly love how the people join in the dances, the wave covering Matt, and the cutest of all – the indian dance group.

It was a video, and behind the video was Matt, and his story to who is he, how did the idea came from and how he work on the idea making it real. It was an experience – traveling around the world and be part of his own adventure. And, what a aftermath – a viral video hit. Incredible stories and experiences and satisfaction.

Well, if you have watched most of the video featured here, perhaps you are inspired as well. This video touched me, giving me permission to go work on an idea that I have, and reminding me that it’s very achievable.

Happy inspiring Sunday, you guys! Thanks for being part of my inspiration.

There were plenty to listen, observe and learn in a print judging session – the critics, what made it in the shot, etc. It would be nice to have the judging transcript or soundbites for people like me who missed out the live event. That would mean a lot to us participants. I’ll make it a goal to attend the 2011 one! .

I was glued to the computer during the WPPI convention, salvaging the updates on facebook, twitter, and any how I could listen in to what’s happening during the convention. Heck, I downloaded the WPPI Iphone app, which at the end is not much of use for me, but a way better app for people who attend the convention. Louis, Jenny, Alex, Grace and Patrick were feeding competition news and happening on twitter. I thank you all for sharing your experiences. Thank you for delivering the news that I scored 80+ and above! That made my day.

Jenny took these entries, live from vegas baby! Thanks Jenny.

Although I did not attend the convention in Vegas, my bulk of enjoyment came from selecting and preparing the prints. I am my own worst enemy when comes down to selection. Fussy pot, critical and very close minded. I self censored my selection from collection. Sometimes it works – hopeful to pick my best work. Some time it works against me – missing out the good ones, and include some bad ones. I learn to print from my light minded peers. Hanging out with fellow WPPI participants is the best. Applauding and mesmerizing at their creation even before the judges get to have that honor. It was simply a good experience. It wouldn’t be the same without you guys participating.

These are my honorable entries mention which scored above 80. In our school days, they refer that score as an distinction. Which I am proud and happy off.

Dancing in the rain earn its 2nd Accolades of Excellence for Bride & Groom Category. I can now hang both the 16×20 Print Competition Ribbon, and the 10×8 Print Competition Ribbon on this one. Congratulations Emily and Daniel.

Untitled. WPPI debut for 16×20 Print competition. I personally love this piece. I love the detailing on a sikh bride in a sikh wedding. My mate reminded this shot of mine, and recommended me to submit for the competition, and I glad I did.

Sometimes, our client ask us, if these competition matters. What does it really mean, and what does it matter to them? It’s a good marketing tool…. only if you buy in. Award Winning Photographer. That’s a great title, but is there more to just the title? Sure that’s nice to hear. These print competition create an outline to what I can produce. From the moment we hold the camera, to directing, posing, and composing a shot – all the way to our print quality which our client would purchase, and then repeating the whole shebang, consistently. That’s the challenge for me to translate all I’ve learnt and reproduce the quality of work. Alas, all the hard work we poured out, I too like a pat at the back from authoritative and respected judges and industry fellow.

Like any achievements, it does come by with plenty of help from my fellow team, and my family whom they have been quite a pillar to what I am doing. Which brings a smile to me – I came back from my Kuala Terengganu shooting job yesterday and greeted with a nice clean room. I have been slacking with other part of my life, but I am looking forward to fix that.

And to quote a famous wedding photographer that I heart dearly – “I would like to make my print of the year with you”.

I am inspired.

We participated in Princely Wedding Fair 2010. Thank you for coming up and seek us. You guys made the booth exciting and great to hang out. We’ve got family, friends, potential clients, clients, vendors, fans, and many more that I wish I could simply catch up with. Wedding Fair like this are busy affair for us, and my apology if we haven’t gotten to speak to you much.

Our crew were fantastic, we had my family and my staff supporting the fair, and their help made the whole fair much pleasant for Jon Low Studios.

We have new product launch, and this is one of them, brand new spanking canvas print, available for purchase!

I presented publicly as a wedding photographer for the 2nd time. Many came, thank you. I hope it was a pleasant.The fair was pleasant because Prince Hotel’s Shirley and her crew were fantastic, together with the rest of the vendor and I applaud you guys for a job well done. We felt at home, and great.

It was a blast, and it was a successful soft launch for Jon Low Studios. You guys are awesome!

“hello, is this jon.”

“yes. Jon speaking” , I replied

“I’m at persiaran Anggerik vanilla and I can’t find your studios”

I jumped out of my seat as it caught my attention. I wasn’t expecting a meeting cos I haven’t arranged one – not at my home. No. You see, I work from home, and meetings are always at a local cafe or starbucks by appointment only. I shouldn’t assume that all my clients know.

I felt terribly sorry for her as she made a trip to come to meet me. I set up an appointment to a later date an I hope I will able to make her some beautiful photographs.

This kept me thinking the whole afternoon. How would you run a small production studio like mine? By appointment only or a place where the establishment eouldbw able to entertain walk in customers?

Your thoughts perhaps? I amthinking aloud

I hope this video helps in production workflow. The process hopefully will make me a better blogger on idealwedding.

Now that the pressure is off, I recorded a short clip, about 10 minutes long, hopefully to illustrate the demo better, Here is the video.

p.s : My mic USB Mic konged out, and I was recording from the Mac’s default mic. So the audio quality isn’t that pleasing, and I don’t have a star voice.
