A HK interior photographer

Just kidding, I think I am still not qualified as a good interior photographer. Over 90% of my works are still weddings with around 5-10% of Bar Mitzvah, Boudoir photo session & Party.

Two weeks ago, I got an assignment from Sun Hung Kai Properties to shoot the club house of the Manhattan Hill, it was very interesting. But I found it was much more difficult than shooting weddings, as it took a long time to set up every single shot.

Just a few behind the scene shots

When your client loves your work

I am writing this blog in a café. I met Fiona today to present the finished photos to her. When she browsed through the pictures, she started to cry when she saw those photos in which Robert was giving his speech.

When clients love my work and the pictures recall their memories, this is the kind of job satisfaction that I couldn’t get in my previous job. I believe I made the right decision to become a photographer in the middle of my life. It is not just money, it is about helping people to crystallize their good memories.

I am already looking forward to James ‘ barmitzvah in March 2008 !!!

A lot of fun last night !!   I really enjoyed but I was totally exhausted and got a sore throat, luckily, I am free the next few days.

As Robert said in his speech, he ‘s a lucky boy — his parents prepared such a great party for him, best location, very unique decoration, families and friends coming from all over the world and celebrating together.

My first non-wedding assignment

Today I shooted my first non-wedding assignment. Normally, I don’t do any non-wedding event as I don’t feel the passion of it. I met Fiona back in Jan, and she ’s planning to host a Barmitzvah (???) party for his 12-years old son (Robert). I learned that Barmitzvah party is a fun event to shoot and confirmed to be her photographer.

We shooted a portrait session for Robert today at the Peak, the photos will be used as the guestbook for the party. I had a great time with Fiona ‘s family, and Robert is such a handsome boy that it is so easy to take photos for him.

I am already looking forward to their Barmitzah party on 21 May, 2006.
