Photography | The Elements of Style
© 2011 Wazari Wazir | Portrait of My Son | Black and White Some people might find it difficult to accept a portrait picture in a square format. When we talk about portrait, we imagine a picture of a person in a vertical format not a square format like what I like to do, like what I’m sharing it here. It’s not really my style because square format have been used long time ago made popular by Hasselblad camera with their classic 6×6 cm square film format.

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.

Portrait Photography | Child Photography Tips
© 2011 Wazari Wazir | Portrait of My Son | Tasik Perdana | Kuala Lumpur The truth to be told is that, child photography will never be easy, at least for me. I can only talk about my experience taking picture of my son because I don’t do child photography business. I think the most important thing that we must have if we want to photographed a child (I’m talking about our own children) is patient, lots of it. I’ve been photographing my son for almost four years already, I’ve been taking picture of him just few minutes after he was born and never get tired of it. It never…
