Digital Photography | Noise and Grain Factor
© 2011 Wazari Wazir | Portrait of My Son in Black and White | Photograph With Add Grain in Adobe Photoshop As the name suggest, “Noise” is something undesirable, unwanted thing, nobody wanted to be stranded in the middle of “Noisy” surroundings. People wanted to be in the peaceful environment, less “noise” to be exact but then again what it is all about when it comes to Digital Photography? What is “Noise” and what is “Grain”?

Telling Stories With a Photograph | A Conversation With Mother
© 2011 Wazari Wazir | A Conversation With Mother at Kinokuniya Bookstore I personally think that the basis of a photography is to tell a story with a photograph, that’s why they called it a Photograph Worth a Thousand Words.

Some photograph can be like an abstract where people don’t know head and tails about it until they read a caption about it while others is just pure and simple where people can easily understood about the story of the picture.

The Photographer’s Life | My Life
© 2009 Wazari Wazir | My Wife and My Son | Kuala Lumpur City Centre There is a reason why I don’t do part time photography like some others working photographers do. Photography is my career, I’m a full time working photographer for the Government of Malaysia. Most of my assignment involved official government functions and sometimes it happens during weekends like New Year or even during Eid ul-Fitr where most people celebrate the big days with their family. Unlike other government servant, as a photographer we don’t work only during normal office hour, sometimes we work until midnight like my latest assignment covering Kerdau state by-elections where we work…
