Children Photography | A Moment Captured
© 2011 Wazari Wazir | A Portrait of My Son | A Moment Captured There is a great joy for me whenever I mange to take a picture of my son, I’ve written again and again, how difficult it is to take a picture of my son lately, he is so active and I’ve to obey when he said “No” to photograph, he is a big boy now, he can hide and he can run but I will definitely get his photograph no matter how hard it is.

Fine Art Portraiture | Black and White and Texture Photography
© 2011 Wazari Wazir | Fine Art Portrait Photography | A Portrait of My Son “Photography is a craft. Anyone can learn a craft with normal intelligence and application. To take it beyond the craft is something else. That’s when magic comes in. And I don’t know that there’s any explanation for that.” – Elliot Erwitt – It’s been a hectic week for me from last Friday during my Photography and Photoshop Workshops with Spylens Studio held in Kota Kinbalu Sabah. I really need along break but still I like to play around with editing, something that I really like to do whenever I’ve a lot of free time which…
