    Expressive Portraiture

    © 2009 Wazari Wazir | Portrait Photography | Expressive Portraiture 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. The objective is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the subject. Like other types of portraiture, the focus of the photograph is the person’s face, although the entire body and the background may be included.

    Kampung Boy

    I’ve nothing much to write here but just wanted to share with you a picture taken in 2008 at my Father-in-law house in Kuala Penyu Sabah, approximately two hours drive from Kota Kinabalu. My son can’t walk at the time this picture is taken, he can stand for a few minutes but will fall down once he took his first step, it was easier to take a photograph of him then than now. My Father-in-law village can be considered as backward, very few development here, most of the times we have to rely on the rain for our water supply and when it doesn’t rain, life can be tough. For…

    Photoshop Texture Editing

    Just wanted to share a quick post here. During Super Friends Penang Outing, I’ve shared few of my editing technique to those who are interested there, among other thing is how to blend texture when the background is BLACK. Just like the picture of  A. Samad Said our National Laureate above. Let’s get straight to the point here, I use Screen blending mode here, simply because if I use Soft Light blending mode like I always do, the texture will not “Touch” the black area, meaning the black will remain black. If you don’t believe me, try it, use Screen blending option if you want to blend a texture into…

    Super Friends Penang Street Outing

    Rumah Siap Pahat Berbunyi, itu pepatah yang biasa kita dengar. Pertama sekali saya ingin beritahu sebenarnya saya sendiri pun tak tahu yang saya dimasukkan dalam group “Super Friends” sehinggalah keluar Poster atau pun Ikon “Super Friends” di Facebook, tengok punya tengok nama saya ada di situ sebagai Batman, dorang semua pun takde inform saya pasal apa2, saya cuma diam jer la, dorang PM dalam Facebook pun saya tak balas, menolak pun tidak, nak join pun tidak. Reason utama saya tak balas PM dorang semua pasal saya tak berani janji boleh turun Penang pada masa yang ditetapkan, kerja saya tak menentu, tak lama lepas tu ada la dorang contact saya tanya…
