My α journey # 4 : VIP Photography & Paid Job

My alpha journey # 4 : VIP Photography & Paid Job


After few months and explore more knowledge and experience in photography, my path in photography go up further and get more oppurtunity in photography. Sometimes I got offer from corporate office to take photo of event, VIP photography and wedding photography.

My first oppurtunity comes to capture moment of VIP is Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Di Pertuan Agong Sultan Mizan at Majlis Berbuka Puasa Universiti Teknologi MARA. Really excited and nervous to capture the moment and must follow the protocol to take photo. My journey with VIP photo begin with arrival of Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Di Pertuan Agong Sultan Mizan . Than take photo at VIP room and other moment. This opportunity met me with other professional photographer and can learn how they work with VIP and communicate to capture the moment.

10 Jun 2008 at Putra World trade centre, again I got another opportunity to capture the moment of VIP. This time I got to capture Seri Paduka Baginda Raja Permaisuri Agong Tuanku Nur Zahirah at Majlis Anugerah Ibu Malaysia 2008. This is very big event for me and I’m working with Musz. Wake up early morning and heading to Kuala Lumpur from Shah Alam. Arrive at PWTC and set up lighting at VIP room for photogroup session with Seri Paduka Baginda Raja Permaisuri Agong Tuanku Nur Zahirah. I’m try my best to capture the moment with limited movement and equipment. I’m so happy because at last really get very good feedback from organizer after deliver the album and photo.

I’m also get opportunity from HONDA to capture the moment at HONDA events. My events with HONDA is National Dealers Convention (10 Dec 2007) by HONDA and HONDA Racing F1 Party ( 19 March 2008) . This two events give more experiences in handling event photography and met more professional photographer and others. Also I met with celebrity such as Pua Chu Kang / Gurmit Singh, Rubbens Barrichello & Jenson Button ( HONDA Racing F1 Team).

I’m also get opportunity to capture the moment “ Standard Charted Banking Apprentice Programme MoU Signing & Graduation Caremony at Hotel Istana” between Standard Charted Bank and Ministry of Higher lerarning and IPTA.

Beside all the story I’ve written there have more many others event I shoot and all events help me be better photographer and I must learn more to continue my journey with my alpha.
