Events


Shooting events has become a very normal thing for me. With the past experience of event duties in school, I feel that I can handle it well. From getting the information/details of event, to going up the stage to shoot the audience.

I still remember my first event in school. I was merely following a senior. There were two rows of seats and right in the middle, was a red carpet. The GOH walks down the red carpet to his seat. Upon seeing the GOH entering, my senior walked to the red carpet, and standing right in the middle, shot the scene. Yet, I didn't even dare to walk to the middle of the hall and stand on the red carpet.

Maybe that was the reason that got me interested in Photography. The gut to stand in the middle where everyone else can see you and what you are doing. To boost my own courage?

Shooting events, is my forte and my greatest weakness. Why? Because I suck at indoor Photography (like in an auditorium, where the lighting isn't that fantastic). So, I guess having the courage isn't everything. Haha.
