Expressive Portraiture | What is Expressive Photography?
© 2011 Wazari Wazir | Expressive Portraiture “If it Makes You Laugh, If it Makes You Cry, If it Rips Your Heart, That’s a Good Picture.” – Eddie Adams – I believe that Eddie Adams quote above summed it all about “What is Expressive Photography” is all about. Maybe I should keep my entry short with the quote but just to make things clear, Expressive Photography does not necessarily involved human being, in can be any subject, it can be still life, it can be landscape, seascape, it can be a mountains, an animal, it can be anything as long as the subject mange to touch our heart, evoke our…

Basic Photography Tips | Using Leading Lines for Captivating Composition
© 2010 Wazari Wazir | Pantai Sawangan Jetty | Kuala Penyu Sabah © 2011 Wazari Wazir | Children Playground | Lake Garden | Taman Tasik Perdana | Kuala Lumpur Taking picture is easy but to really get a beautiful picture in term of having an aesthetic value that was pleasing to the eye is not as easy as pressing the shutter button on the camera.
