wedding of irene and alexis (day one)

So busy in last two months … … I tried to update the blog with every wedding and e-sessions I had, but I found it very difficult with the busy schedule … … Other than shooting, I spend most of the time on retouching works and hope to finish the work on time for each client.

Just a few updates:

1) because of the busy schedule, I can’t meet any new client before Dec, I am giving priority to my existing client first

2) Shulin is growing very fast, I even found that she can be looked and behaved a little different  if I didn’t see her much after having2-3 days’ shooting. I have already scheduled a photo session with Claudia (playground photography) end of Nov to take photo of Shulin and me. So looking forward to it.

3) there are so many interesting shootings in last few weeks, a lot of new concept [......]

a fan of simon.the.photo-natalie and arthur

Are you a fan of simon.the.photo on Facebook?

When I found that we could establish a fan page on facebook, I created one just for fun in July, and I never thought that I could have a “fan” … …

It ‘s so amazing that my facebook page have over 430 fans after two months (as of today), this is such a big number that I don’t think I deserve it.

Talking about fan, I ‘d love to introduce Natalie and Arthur, they are definitely the No. fan 1 of me.  When I had their e-session last month, I found out that Natalie has a collections of photos from this blog. She downloaded her favorite images (with comments and notes), print them out and put them in a very organized box file. With such a couple that loves my photos so much, it gave me lot of energy and inspiration on [......]

We had a little problem playing the video that night, there was some hang up at the last 30 sec. We believe it ‘s caused by the bad burning of the DVD media. I talked about it here because, first, I ‘d like to thank Joyce and Wilson for their forgiveness of our mistake, second, I don’t like [......]

city of life
- eSession of karen and benedict

since a few years ago, there was a trend of couple in Hong Kong going to Taiwan to have their pre-wedding photos. I believe people got bored with the Taiwanese style in last two years, and people started to go further and further away – not only China, Japan, SE Asia, going to Europe (even East Europe) is not uncommon nowadays.

I can imagine going a place in Europe is so romantic, no one knows you, having a long holiday, no phone call, forget all about your daily business – these are all very critical for having a very memorable pre-wedding photo session.

Having said that, I think there are still many interesting locations in Hong Kong that are very good for photo session, and most importantly, location is not an major consideration for my style of photography. When I meet my clients, I always tell them that the people inside a [......]
