A quick update on my blog with what I have been up to lately…I attended an inspiring session called ‘Hot Shoe Diaries’ on lighting from the master himself, Joe McNally on 2 February 2010 at the ShangriLa Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. A huge thank you goes out to Louis Pang from Wedshooter.tv for making all the arragements for Joe to come down to Malaysia.

Joe started off the day with a slideshow and explained his techniques and how he achieved some of his famous shots which appeared in National Geographic magazine.  He then demonstrated the use of small flashes as well as multiples lights both indoor and outdoor.  The one day session with about 15 other photo enthusiast was enlightening and inspiring.

Its nice to meet Joe at last, he is such a down to earth person and so generous with his knowledge.  His sharing on his humble beginnings as a rookie photog  working for a local newspaper in New York to his current status of being one of the world’s renowned and travelled photographer is indeed eye-opening.

Here are a few images of the day.

With the ever famous Joe McNally, got him to autograph my Hot Shoe Diary book as well :O)
