What we have done in Last July?

[ 03.09.10 ] Posted in Announcement, Past Event

Time flies really fast. I didn’t realise that it was more than 2 months ago from the gathering that we hosted in Jakarta, Indonesia. It was completely a free event that THEUPPERMOST and I wished to educate what we thought how to improve in wedding photography in Indonesia. It was a blast event. As we didn’t plan this gathering to happen, we only had a week to announce. But we still ended up 60+ attendance. That just showed the hunger of wedding photography in education.

Here is some awesome footages from our video friends, Wedding in Motion.

and here is some images taken by Adiwarna from After Effect Photo

It couldn’t pick up the better timing as we are just releasing some details of our upcoming workshop (bootcamp) in Indonesia. Here is some information. Also, don’t miss the opportunity to win a free seat, please check it out.

Let’s find out the reasons

[ 01.09.10 ] Posted in Current Event, The UpperMost

I, Wiki Lee, had a blast from the workshop a couple weeks ago in Sydney. The next stop will be in Indonesia. Please find the details below.

This time I partnered with the dynamic duo Tito + Sigit from The Upper Most. I have a huge crush on their works. When I met them in person for the first time, I knew straightaway we can be friends for a long time. They are not only cool dudes but also I love their fired-up passion in photography. I was in awe knowing that there were at least two photographers in Indonesia who were fresh among the crowds. For me, they dare to be original. Personally, it’s quite rare to have people like them in Indonesia.  For everyone who does not know about weddings in Indonesia, it’s a big event that involves average 1,000 guests. From my experiences witnessing weddings in Asia-Pacific region, Indonesia probably has the biggest market amongst other countries. So when we are talking about wedding photography, it’s quite common couple booked two different studios to cover the day. In other words, money talks. It’s not surprising that if one photographer has their own success of getting the clients, others just followed his/her style without knowing the real reasons. Wedding photography in Indonesia is purely business for majority of photographers there.

And that’s how we set the title of this workshop “Let’s find out the reasons”. Because reasons are very important for our business and philosophy. If your reason of running wedding photography is only to earn money, I can tell you it’s not good enough in the long term. In this workshop, Tito and Sigit from The upper most will reveal what they stand for and how they do it technically and from business point of view.

This workshop is a three-days bootcamp. We call it bootcamp because we will host the workshop in a place where we are going to stay together in three days. The fee includes some meals. There will be photo critique and competition of where three of us will give the thorough feedback of how you can improve.

Here is the proposed run-down of the bootcamp.

Day 1:

- arrived at 4pm.

- What is our reasons?

- Kick off dinner

- Portfolio and business critique.

Day 2:

- Learn how to create story-telling images in weddings and how to create extraordinary portraiture in pre-wedding.

- Learn how to engage with clients prior to, during and after the session.

- Practical sessions with challenges

Day 3:

- Photo competition

- Feedback time.

The early-bird registration will open on 13 Sept 10. Please pencil down the date because we only have limited spaces.

Good school?

[ 19.08.10 ] Posted in Inspirational words

Today is the eve of my first 3-days workshop for wedding photography in Sydney, Australia.

I’ve been talking in different backyards (internationally) but this time is finally in my home backyard (literally:D). I thank God for the opportunity for me to share with others. I hope my workshop may assist others to be a better photographer than I am.

Here is our studio of where we are going to host the workshop:

After several hours spent to prepare of what I’ll be  talking in 3 days, a lot of people may not realise that not all photographers are born to talk. We, photographers, are looking and pressing our shutters mostly with instinct. Thus, how we are trying to tell others the way our mind works is darn hard.

Seth Godin, my favourite author, mentioned there are two types of schools. On his post, he mentioned the best teaching is when the students are challenged to learn to see and to solve the problems. But it’s definitely difficult task  knowing everyone has different background. It’s getting easy for the teachers to tell them to learn techniques that limit the creativity, decision-making and problem-solving skill from the students.

I pray God that I am not tempted to tell others to be like me. Everyone is unique.

August workshop revisited

[ 13.08.10 ] Posted in Announcement, Past Event

Since we announced our workshop back a couple months ago, we’ve really never done any marketing or publicity about it until last week (due to our wedding projects) until recently I finally started the marketing campaign. It resulted in so many photographers informed us that they were unavailable in such a short notice. Well, I am sure it doesn’t stop us to have fun in sharing and inspiring others next week. We really can’t wait about this.

The workshop will kick off next Friday (August 20th). It’ll be 3 days workshop. We have a mind-blowing agenda for the participants. There will be so many practical hands-on tips and advices that every participant can learn on those 3 intensive days.  For more details about the workshop, you can see in here. The workshop will take place in new Foto Expression’s headquarter in Kellyville area – north west of Sydney. The address will be announced privately to the participants.

In the past 4 days, I have video-blogged topics we are going to cover in this workshop. In summary, this workshop is intended for everyone who is serious in pursuing career in wedding photography in the international level of wedding photography.

Topics that we will cover consist of:

  • my GPS technique to shoot (how I search for point of interest)
  • client communication prior and during the session
  • photography style and career development plan

Here are some summary of what we are going to do in 3 days.

Day 1: theories preliminary to practical session in day 2.

Day 2: practical sessions with real couples. The activities involves real client consultations, real portrait sessions, and real case studies based on “Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere” situation.

Day 3: feedback time. It covers constructive feedback on every participant’s works and businesses.
