Senior Photography | On Location Portraiture
© 2009 Wazari Wazir | Senior Photography Portrait photography or portraiture is the capture by means of photography of the likeness of a person or a small group of people (a group portrait), in which the face and expression is predominant.

Photography | How To Crop Images

© 2010 Wazari Wazir | HaiQal | A Portrait of My Son In my previous article I wrote that whenever we took a portrait of a person, we must focus on his or her eyes no matter whether they look into the lens or not. In this picture the eyes appear to be a little bit soft, a little bit out of focus and if you can see clearly the focus was on the strand of hair on my son cheek. I did use fast shutter speed here and I did focus on his eyes but when I was about to press the shutter button, my son turn away and…

Family Day Out | Close To Home
© 2010 Wazari Wazir | Family Day Out | Colmar Tropicale The picture above was not taken in Alsace in Northeastern France but it was taken at Bukit Tinggi Pahang in Peninsular Malaysia, you see Malaysian flag behind my wife there. Just close to our home but not too close to our home. To get here from Kuala Lumpur will take approximately 45 min by car. Most of the times we can find a great beautiful location no matter where we live but sometimes we tend to procrastinate, we think maybe we will visit this place or that place later because it was so close and yet after few years…
