When I saw birdy in front of me and glance at me for a while. I wonder what is the birdy thinking?

Hello Burung Oz.. From which country you just came from?, indada dia reply to me.

Seriously, When the birdy look at me for a while.. My mind kept on telling me what is the birdy thinking.
Stress suddenly comes to me and i cannot hear the sounds of the wind and yarra river for a moment.

this is how i feel, quiet, dark, emptiness…

So I kept on asking myself why the birdy still standing there for almost 2 mins.. And i realize, birdy wants me to take birdy’s portrait on my polaroid camera.
I grab my sx-70 polaroid from my camera bag.. Open and my eyes stare at the viewfinder and focus, then birdy stand still 1 seconds for me to take birdy’s photo.

Uinah, posing michael jackson bah si birdy. Must be Aussie’s Bird Idol ni.

Okeh, I’m bored… Story above is just a fiction. Tidak ada berkaitan with manusia and haiwan burung.

I like one of CUT photographer thoughts about “What does the photograph mean in the 21st century?”
This is his/her answer :

Photography is getting much more recognition in the art world than it used to, when photography was considered to be all about landscapes and flower shots and portraits. But today, there are more and more artists who choose to use this medium to work with. Photographers are being recognised as artists and not ‘just’ as photographers anymore. Wolfgang Tillsman winning the Turner Prize in 2000 proves that.

On the other hand, due to the advanced technology of mobile devices (phone, pda, etc) and digital technology, almost everyone owns a camera. or thinks they are a photographer – a lot of people tend not to respect the photographer’s profession, or think that there is nothing special in terms of technique in photographic art works.

So I think, today, there is no specific meaning as to what photography should be. People might see photographs that are being hung on the wall of galleries today as nothing special – just someone’s portrait, or a picture of an empty room. Some still think that photography is all about salon images. For others, it is all about the gadgets, purchasing the biggest lens to impress their peers, or a tool for camwhoring themselves, capturing themselves every 5 minutes and uploading it onto the internet.

Well, his well known and deserve to give that kind of answer. If you’re interested after read his answer. Visit this website -> http://www.vwfa.net/CUT/index.html.

Wine Glass (whats the name for this already ah?) on Black Background.

I love shooting glass. Maybe because the glass and reflection represents me sometimes.

Here’s the setup of how I light the object and also place the props and shift the camera.

I always get the outside bay, I don’t mind anyway. As long i can do my stuff hatiku memang senang.

Studio Assignment Folio, It’s all about cheese.

Do you wanna know how i light up everything?
It ain’t easy telling ya.



I still remember after a few hours of lighting and composition my last cheese melted and i have to run all the way to safeway (one of the chain supermarket in melbourne, Macam Giant or Carrefour in Malaysia) with less than 30mins before the studio class ended.

Thank god i manage to complete after that.

Studio is fun but it depends the how much can you budget all your props by yourself.
I want to do better than this but because of.. well you know money~~ I always ended up buy the one i can afford. I wish i can shoot this kind of studio editorial or advertising product when i started working but this time they pay me shooting their product instead of me paying the product that i can afford to shoot. -________-”
I know it’s not cool~~

One of my last year studio shots, the brief is about telecommunication and the dimension must be panorama.

Nombor yang anda panggil, tidak dapat dihubungi. Terima Kasih | The number you have dialed, is currently busy. Thank you.

Can you imagine if telecommunication haven’t invent yet? Hows the current world gonna looks like what’s the effect of human’s daily life?
