A little bit of revelation by Kuang of www.39eastimages.com
OK, I’m going to start by being the first to admit to it. I’d like to admit that over the years, I’ve looked in Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine, looked towards great American and Australian photographers and lusted after their styles and the weddings they shoot. There- I’ve admitted it.
I’m sure many of my friends and whoever is reading this is probably wondering what the heck I’m talking about and what the big deal is. Over the last 3 years as a wedding photographer, I’ve always dreamed about shooting that wedding that looks like something out of Martha Stewart Wedding, dreamed of shooting some wedding on some fancy beach in the Bahamas, dreamed of having a couple so spontaneous they would jump into the ocean fully clothed in their gown and suit. Most of that has come true, but not all at the same wedding as I’ve dreamed about.
Ok, so if you’re reading this, and you’re a wedding photographer in Singapore, you’ve probably have had the same crazy dream before and you’ll know what I’m talking about.
But shooting my friend’s wedding over the weekend, a revelation suddenly hit me. There is so much to celebrate right here in Singapore. instead of trying to copy the styles that others have created, I’ve started to wonder, why not create my own unique Singaporean style…whatever that may be.
The Singaporean style of wedding photography, it’s something I’m still searching for. Maybe someday, this Singaporean style of wedding photography would be so cool that big name photographers would be buying OUR dvds.
So if anyone reading this can give us some comments on what could be defining styles for Singapore wedding photography perhaps I can take that first big step of celebrating who I am instead of trying to be who I’m not.
I’m off in search of my own local style. See you all later. Last Updated ( Tuesday, 22 May 2007 )
