Not So Ordinary

Hi guys! This is a rare moment when I write something on my blog. I want to share something that has been so exciting for the past few months. As you can see from my previous posts, I've helped some friends for look books, and I had a lot of fun. Most people may saw me that I was so frustrated doing the look book, editing and doing the photoshoot itself.

Well, over time, I learned how to get through it. Meeting new people as my client or model may be as hard as it could be in the past, as I used to be a timid. However by realizing what I was doing, I managed to overcome it by just getting to know my team. My models, and everyone. Other professional photographer may look at this as a simple and crucial thing, maybe they'll laugh at my writings about this. But this is a personal discovery, and I really like it.

House of PH's EPILOGUE Collection

I was helping Tewe Harsetiani of House Of PH to do a look book for her newest collection back in late 2013. I have to tell you; I thought I couldn't really get along with bunch of girls. Well, I only have few girl friends. But then I found out that they were so friendly and we're all friends till today. It's just amazing how my passion gets me to new friends. 

Duvera Class 3.0 Photoshoot 

This one! Look how nasty I am.. The sun was shining so bright but it didn't turn down my mood to do the shoot with these lovely people. I met Duvera team just once, and we were able to nail this photoshoot. I was once worried that this photoshoot will turn out bad since I was so exhausted while doing this photoshoot, but then they loved it. It feels fantastic to please your friends.

There is a reason why I'm so happy about this discovery. I used to be a timid person and I couldn't even ask the waiter or any shopkeeper.. I was so timid. I can be so confident just with my close friends and the rest? I couldn't.. I realized that my passion is not just between me and myself, but it's also about others. The world, the people, the society, I can't close my eyes or divert from that. I can't really hide, all I can do is to present myself in front of them confidently. I was so afraid of critics and I really don't want people to tell me what to do or what to photograph. But now, I realize that I can maximize my passion by pleasing others. I love helping people with the ability that I have. I really want to do my best on that.

Well this is just a thought and thank you for reading. Sorry for being random :-P
