Jet Fynn Photography - Real Moments, Real Memories

It was a rather busy year for us in 2014 which started off with a big bang as our principal photographer, Mr. Ong Min Ho was honoured to be invited to be one of the international guest speaker in Philippines at Photoworld Asia which was held in Makati. It was fun filled with days of sharing images, ideas and meeting up people from all over Asia. Meeting up with who's who of the photography industry in Philippines and more. The icing in the cake was Min Ho is sharing the same platform with the world's no.1 wedding photographer Mr. Denis Reggie talking about weddings. Min Ho shared his experience of shooting weddings since 1982. Imagine, 32 years of shooting weddings of all types spanning multiple cultures and religious range encompassing Malay, Chinese, Indian, European and even cross cultural weddings where in these new age where people of all walks of life find love regardless of race, culture and religion.

In case of emergency, sometimes brides go to great lengths to make sure they look good! Sometimes they may go to extreme make-up methods which is waaaayyyyyyy out of the normal practise. A good example would be this: Scenario: Bride not enough lip gloss. Solution : Use whatever gloss that is in the room. Here's how it looks like: P/S: Do not try this at home. We do not know whether the chemicals in the usage of this type of gloss is FDA approved or not! Use at your own discretion. Don't quote us if you do!

It's the time of the year again to wish everyone a Very Happy New Year 2011... ( I'm late by a few days - busy with work. Sorry! ) Jet Fynn as a company is 15 years old this year as we started a long way back in 1996 operating from our humble home on a part-time basis until what we are now to cater for our clients' growing needs. They are our pillars of support as without them, Jet Fynn wouldn't be able to be around for so long. Looking back, the early years was a struggle and much work had to be done to convince people that photography is a profession just like any other, the person needs to have the dedication, commitment and of course the creativity to be able to carry out client's needs. Sometimes we get straightforward requests and certain times we get very challenging requests from customers. All of them are taken in enthusiastically as they are something new every time. At times we are honoured and also there are times we were deeply humbled at the comp...

The hazards of using DC studio lighting equipment can be clearly seen in the picture below. During the time of the photoshoot, anything can happen. No thanks to TNB but we did complete our job and had a nice photo taken though it took us a little more time as we do bring along our battery based back-up equipment to handle situations like these.

Sometimes taking a break from the normal routine of working, working, and more work, we should take a holiday of some sort to clear the mind and perhaps expand the mind to include other things. Getting out of the same routine of photographing weddings, weddings and more weddings is rather repetitious. Like spending more time with family, friends and to a longer extent, staff. We planned this holiday break last year, welcomed it last week and came back just a few days ago. The whole journey was a simple one. Our target was Jogja, Prambanan & Borobudur - 5 days. Quite a free and easy relaxing trip I would say. The whole trip actually gave us new ideas and new concepts which we will apply on our next photography assignment and more. Here are some of the pictures from that trip.

It's Christmas time again and the usual rounds of merry and wishing each other is high on the air. Festivities galore with shoppings, holidays, meeting up with friends and families together this yuletide season...... And I have to work because there is one lovely couple getting married...... Hmmmm, will be spending my Christmas again with clients. Seems to be the trend to get hitched during the holiday or festive season because that is the time where most of the friends and relatives would be free. To sign off this blog for Christmas, let me share a picture of Fook Kheong and Wai Sheong taken in our studio for their pre-wedding where we had fun capturing the X'mas spirit! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

As we were going to the Ipoh Town Hall to cover an Indian Wedding, we were scouting around for a nice surrounding for us to shoot some scenic shoot and we found just the right thing. It, IT OVERWHELMED US...... and it's a Malaysian Flag. By being under the flag raised a lot of emotional feelings, a sense of responsibility and belonging. It may be a little late to say this, but then: SELAMAT HARI MERDEKA!

Sometimes religious schools or agama schools is misunderstood by a lot of people as being boring or maybe restrictive. Actually they are just like us, normal people. Kids, they really know how to have fun when they want to. This picture showed them in the fun mode.

Sometimes I'm asked, what equipments do you use for your photography work? Now this is a question that I would like to answer. I would say it's subjective to the event or what is the job entails. Let's take an example of a wedding. Here below would be a typical amount of equipment taken out for a wedding photography event. The emphasis is: backup, Backup, BACKUP!

Both are prominent monks from Taiwan and China respectively and known for their works for spreading Buddhism. Well respected and revered. Their visit to Ipoh was a great blessing. The last picture showed them on the ground breaking ceremony for Anning Old Folks Home's new building currently still in construction.

Found this interesting foreign word for a simple food condiment when I went to Vietnam recently. [B]So what are you guys thinking of?[/B] :P
