Joyce’s Photoblog

I got a 3 and a half days holiday from my day job. Went to Port Dickson, and finally got some non-rainy-weather shots.

I was way early for my appointment with a prospect. So I spent a little time - one hour to be exact - walking down the streets of Kuala Lumpur.

Thanks to the schedule of my day job, I’m always at the opposite side of traffic at that particular time.

If Khairy is the richest unemployed in the country, then collectively these people should be second on the richest unemployed list. Everyday they earn at least a hundred Ringgit just by sitting at one corner in Kuala Lumpur, according to a local Malay press publication, Kosmo.

Eating on the go in Kuala Lumpur is not something I would recommend. Unless you love the smokey atmosphere.

Had a second photographing session with Leven on Sunday. “Returning customer”, if I may.

I think it’s about time to think about getting an assistant just to get the lighting right, with a reflector or something.

Hire me, please!

I was never freelance, in case you’re wondering. I took photos for fun 9 out of 10 times, and the 1 time I didn’t do it for fun, I did it out of obligation. After being convinced by many people I’m qualified to take photos for serious cash, here I am, trying to convince you to pay me for a few photographs of you.

My style is simple: up close and personal. I believe if you’re not close enough, you’re not good enough. There’s two meaning to close: close as in distance, and close as in relationship. Well, we don’t have to marry each other just for a photography session. A brief understanding of each other will do.

As for asking price… well, let’s just say I’m a lot cheaper than most professional photographer. It’s not a marketing thing. I’m still not experienced commercially, so I think it’s reasonable to “sell” myself cheap, until I get more experience and recognition (if I ever manage to get people to hire me lol).

If you’re interested, you can always find me through my blog, or by email (joyce.tedoen@yahoo.com).

I wonder when will I get my first business.
