It's been quite a white that I didn't updated my blog. My last entry was in January 2010. 2 months ago. Well I'm still here.... alive & kicking & shooting & working & travelling & facebooking & flickring & ........ blogging. Didn't expect at the beginning of the year, I've got so many many work to do. Not in photography but the other part of my work. Guess.... photography is not my full time job but just my hobby.... but sometimes people do ask.... do you shoot for weddings or any occasions or event? Yes I do, if anyone required my service. How much do you charge? Well... all in RM... Yet they ask again.... can you offer me you best price & a little bit lower... That was my best price & in fact I intent to increase my price soon. So if you want a lower price ... I think I can't help you.
I'm not simply demand for higher paid but sometime you need to consider what are the things that we "photographers" need to do for one weeding job. Cost of transportation? Cost of the gears? Time taken during photoshoot? Time taken during editing? Cost of electricity? Cost of Printing? Every single job will be a new cost... we do not use the same things twice....
Sure....? Then you will say... camera? Well... Every shutter we press will cost us $$$$... for sure our gears will depreciate ... either you calculate in a daily... weekly.... monthly...yearly basis.
So if other people can offer you a lower price than me, lucky you. You have your moment captured & me still continuing with my passion.
