Some weeks ago, RazorTV interviewed me about unusual locations for wedding photos.  I invited them to join me for a night shoot at Joo Chiat with Michelle & Saiful (awesome couple).

Here’s the thing: I wasn’t particularly keen on the topic.  Why does everyone believe that unique locations make unique photographs? Everyone thinks that photos are “normal” because they’re done in the same places – studio, botanical gardens, or some beach with standard poses.  Even photographers feel the same.  No wonder most wedding photos are boring.

Photographs are made by photographers.  Don’t blame the location.  If every photographer cares enough to use their imagination, every photo will be special, simply because every photographer is unique.

Anyway, we had great fun during the shoot.  The RazorTV crew were nice people, very sporting, and followed us right till the shoot ends.  So thank you, and my name is “Lim”, not “Kim”, so please change it in the video before I change my mind about you.

[Edit: The video now shows my name correctly]

I must mention that Michelle & Saiful didn’t request for any particularly special location.  They trusted me entirely, and left all decisions to me.  Thank you, I couldn’t have asked for more.

Here are the clips on RazorTV.  Michelle & Saiful’s night shoot is featured mainly in part 2, and in bits of part 1.
