Beauty Lies In Simplicity

Sometimes, when a photographer took too much time worrying about angles and techniques in his/her photo-shooting, it takes away all the fun. This is pretty much why I shoot things unstaged and unplanned. I just wanna have fun, that's it. Photography is not my career, so I don't have to stress about my quality. This is it, below these are my photos taken completely unplanned.



Child


Description: This baby girl were obstructing my way as I walked to the door. Holding my camera at the moment, I snapped this one up. Minutes later, I brought her to my aunt - her mother. I think she lost her mother.



On Our Way


Description: We were on our way to take a swim in Sungai Tengi. After 15 minutes, I got bored and decided to turn around and take a candid of my backseat friends. This is what I got.


Noir


Description: Snapped this one on our movie night. My brother and I were bored so I decided to take a portrait of him. Turns out, with poor lighting in the car, we got a 'Madonna-like' portrait. By the way: Alice in Wonderland is a must-watch!


One big tip on capturing the best photo, bring your camera anywhere you go.

Tom: Sux2BeYou. We're in the same boat. Hahaha

Yeah same style with me. I love candid photos. They show "true colours". Not fake ones. (people posing and stuff)

it's fun when you take photo without thinking...like, the people in the photo sometimes show their funny face(because they didn't know we're taking their picture)..hahaha :D
