#78

this coming July is an important month for Team Asyraf Lee as we have been commissioned as official photographers for a wedding by the Royalty of Selangor. I am stoked with excitement, and can't help but be nervous. A little worried about the protocol, and how some people like to use their authorities to a certain caliber just to please themselves when the host themselves do not intricate situations.

Well, insya'Allah everything will go smooth sailing.  The last time I covered a Royal event on my own without Team Asyraf Lee, I got trampled by some MALE senior photographer (on purpose) because I had a nice shot of the Prime Minister's wife, Datin Paduka Seri Rosmah and Datin Seri Raja Nor Mahani Raja Shahar Shah. Oh well.  Perhaps his ego was wounded when he found out a 21 year old girl (2010) was official photographer for the event and he was backup photographer. tsk tsk. 

ps/ I received some e-mail from some of you asking if I took up any classes on photography. the answer is no. I am a self taught photographer. I was a protege of Tom Hayton (a British fashion photographer) but before he moved to Barcelona. And was later hired by Asyraf Lee after he saw my portfolio :D but before this I was offered to be part of The Picture Company HQ but turned down their offer as I was not ready to pack up and leave my family and Iman to work in Manila, Philippines. Also, I'm not doing a degree in Photography :)   

whoa, this is such a lengthy post!
