FAQ ! or shall I say the bitchings going around :-)

1) Many people thinks that  you gave up shooting !

I’ve  NOT !

2) What happened to Paparazzi Studio?

The greatest mistake I did in my life!!! again …. getting the the wrong people….. esp the uneducated who pretend or act to be the best ! U know the best :-)

3) Heard u  ridding on ppls popularity?

Do I ? Emmmm i dont wish to be popular :-)

4) You have been bashed by certain ppl in FB !

Who doesn’t  in FB?

5) How about the recent coffee talk that u had? Someone even posted in their FB …. dont have coffee with the jerk !

U heard me clear! its coffee with Silan! m not worried about the ‘jerk’

6) They said you shutdown Dreamworks coz u r bankrupt !

Really ? ask those ppl who said it …. how much they owe me :-)

7) How about the engagement shoot u did at the 2nd highest tower? its seems u screwed the shoot !

:-) the shoot suppose to start at 4.30 pm, I was there at 4 pm ….emmmm i need more space to blog about this…. so stay tuned …. gonna be my next topic !

8) How come u r not shooting some ‘Yacht match” ( the one they have during Monsoon season’ ) :-) ..  pre events?

Fedup of bribing n being used by certain ppl for personal n family interest :-)

9) There r some complains on yr late delivery n not prompt on yr after sales service !

Ok now we talking some facts! Yes i don’t deny this. yes there is some hiccup  on this. My apologies !!!! m restructuring the entire operations team . Just hired new Digital Imaging artist who is going thru                  extensive training. For those I delayed, M sorry, there is special a reward waiting for u guys :-)

10) Heard there is a plot to topple u down on our most current venture, u r teaching right?

Expected this :-) my message to them….. U r most welcome but do it openly! why hiding n playing dirty games?

Bonus Question : Why r u being so quiet or in another word ‘discreet’ all this while? ….. well, mistakes n errors, are done. My priority is building a new  team n just have done it ! Now I have to clear all the mess created under this circumstances. I created directly or indirectly. lemme clear this before blogging the actual story :-) I bet its gonna be fun. Stay tunned!

If you are wondering why the surprise..?? It is because my camera and I was probably the last thing that Nisha expected on that day. They say friends are gods gift to human kind, and thanks to a dear friend of the groom, I was appointed to shoot this wonderful matrimonial affair. Truly a heartfelt gift from the friend to the lovely couple. 

The very first thing that I asked Nisha ,” Are you nervous ? “ 

She stretched her henna decorated hand out to mine and said ,” See how cold my hand is… I am damn nervous Silan…” 

I managed to give her a comforting smile and took up the next 10 minutes as my personal mission to cheer this girl up.. .. while shooting, I cracked a couple of jokes here and there … inducing some laughter .. which produced not only great vignettes of the bride but a much relaxed bride. As I was about to step out the room… she looked at me, smiled..and said ” Thanks Silan.. You made my day..” 

Believe it or not.. the wedding took a clean 20 minutes..yes only 20 minutes..since it was a Malayalee wedding. Everyone knows that Malayalee weddings are one of the quickest occasions known to most.. They probably live up to the famous words of Caesar’s “Veni Vidi Vinci” That’s it. 

I would have to agree that it was not an easy task as I had to be discreet and inobtrusive  , in respect to the two official photographers on the floor. I guess being suave and sleek is not my cup of tea. Nevertheless it was a very exciting and enjoyable frame of time.. 

20 minutes of sheer workout that included running, jumping, crawling, squatting , so on and so forth.. Below, are the results of my fun escapade.. Best part of the whole thing was that 70 percent of the pictures were natural depiction of pictorial essence itself.. and there is no way better to project that than in Black and White!!! There was absolutely no flash involved throughout the shoot. It was all thanks to natural lightings and my favorite lenses non the less :-)  

Enjoy,

RG

While the whole of Malaysia was celebrating Hari Raya, enjoying the ketupat, lemang and sirap… we were shooting this wedding in Slim River, Perak. 

Vanisha, sweet looking Indian gal, very loud n bubbly! :-) Puvan, a quiet and calm person… easy going character I guess.

We shot this wedding alongside Greg of Significant Touch (video) and had great fun working together!

I would say this was one challenging wedding to shoot, with lots of wannabe photographers blocking each and every angle all the time! These guys were everywhere even on the stage with their point to shoot camera and mobile phone!!!!  Vanisha booked us after meeting lots of photographers. She was very concerned to get the best people for her wedding. She even booked Dreamworks (all the way from KL) for her wedding decoration.

Good photography is good composition! We need space. We need angle. We need to move around. Imagine….. with 10 wannabe photographers, using other peoples wedding for their training and trial ground!  Huh… we are encountering this in each and every wedding and sad to say especially in Indian weddings :-(

However, despite all the circumstances we manage to pull thru n got splendid shots at this wedding…

Puvan and Vanisha, congrats and wishing you guys all the best in life … from Papparazzi and Dreamworks

Below are some shots I took along with my partner Sree. Enjoy :-)
