My workflow:
1. Meet the couple, break the ice.
2. Understand their vibe
3. Then document their wedding
Also it’s nice to here couples say, “hey vinoth is here” instead of “hey the photographer is here to shoot our wedding”.

Wedding photography, for me is all about connections, and how I, as a photographer allow my clients into my circle or trust, and then they allow me into theirs. Once that connection is established then comes the magic. (1/3)
How to make your wide photos look a lot more pleasing as a wedding photographer:
1. See in 2D. As photographers, we’re converting 3D into 2D. Imagine every frame as a blank canvas, and you’re drawing on it. Treat every line like a grid and consider how you position your subject
Tips on How to Build a Portfolio When You’ve Just Started as a Wedding Photographer:
1.Create a moodboard of the photos you like on Pinterest.
2.Often, when you’re starting, your clients most probably are your friends. That itself is an advantage.
3.Share the moodboard with
Reason why I love morning weddings:
1. Gorgeous sunlight
2. Possibility for “sun on the mandeh” (mandeh means head in tamil)
3. It starts off cool and then it gets hot, versus evenings, when it’s hot first and then it gets cooler.

Since it’s International Women’s Day, I’d like to introduce you to this queen - Linda.
Linda was diagnosed with Nemaline myopathy at a very young age. It's a rare disorder that weakens the muscles. She has never worn a Saree before (a traditional South Indian outfit) 🧵
Capturing my audience's attention and creating balance in my photos with center composition. Agree, its not too dynamic, but does highlight the grandeur of things. Like this architecture and details.
Pretty happy with how my

looks now vs when I first minted. My latest collection consists 1 off pieces that will be added to over time.
These photos were captured when I travel, linking back to the “That boy in..” series.

How to Gain Your Client’s Trust as a Non-Conventional Wedding Photographer:
1. When meeting clients, educate them about your approach and the reasons behind it. If you don’t have a portfolio, prepare a mood board and explain why you aim to achieve that.
2. Develop a portfolio
Hey fam! Here’s my genesis

Aku biasanya xbuat kissy photos. But when it took them 693 days to finally tie the knot, who am I to stop the inevitable?

Due to the multitude of guests and activities in Malaysian Indian weddings, there’s an endless opportunity for photographers to practice layering
especially those who love street photography 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾.
Korang nak street style layering, shoot tamil wedding wei.
I've always said this, and I'll say it again. As stressful as it is, remember to always have fun when you're planning your wedding. Cause it'll be one of those memories that you'll cherish for a long time. I bet these two will agree on this *wink wink*⠀
Couldn’t get a WOWG but then I still wanted to buy into a women led project. Thanks to

Time to let the potato out of the sack.
Remember I said I’ve been seeing faces? Ive been seeing it on Potatoes & they’ve started talking back to me.
Apparently they're from a universe called Spudverse.

Everyone is different, and so is every couple. If they are good friends and not romantic, tell them to play, chase, hide and seek etc. And you just wait for that moment to unfold.

For me photography is like painting (since I cant paint for nuts). And there’s always a question of how I can draw the viewers attention towards what I’m trying to convey. Here’s a before and after with the thought process.

(ask us why later) became my first Eth collector. She caught me off guard. I teared (emotional lk that).
Imma pay it forward by being someone else’s first collector. No do you don’t have to shill. I’ll do my own hmwrk.
Here’s another tip to improve as a wedding photographer,
“In a world of talkers, be a listener”
You absorb more information when you listen, and can translate that info visually.

Happy Malaysia Day, My Malaysia!

Here’s an example of how knowing your client’s story can enhance your storytelling as a wedding photographer:
“The beginning of our relationship was challenging, and our families didn’t approve,” they shared.

For Example 🧵
The last time i shot a running shot i had to set the focus to manual and hoped and prayed i got a shot in focus. But on the Sony, at 50mm 1.4, auto focus, i had a 70% success rate. 🤯

Here’s a prompt for wedding photographers: during a portrait session after the wedding ceremony with your couple.
‘If given a chance, how would you (insert something they did in the ceremony) differently? Don’t say it, show it to me, in 3, 2, 1,’ and you snap away.”
For this
My genesis collection, 1/1 single images that carry their own story are patiently waiting for their 1st collector. Priced at 0.17eth & I dare say that they will look good in any gallery 😊.
RT if you’ve resonated with it, & let me know which one you’ve connected with the most ☺️
The camera vs the shots.
Newbie yg tanya camera mana nak beli, pakai je hp dulu. Pastu bila rasa HP tak cukup baru invest on camera baru. Masa aku beli camera ni, hp aku 2mega pixel je. Sekarang ni most HPs are better than point and shoot.
