Tiffany and Norman

Tiffany and Norman, were just great to work with, what sports they were. We had a fun time shooting and I was able to explore some new angles and venues. For all those photographers out there, I found that the Nikon D3 mated with my 200mm F2 VR creates an unbeatable combination.  With its ultra fast focusing and its Super ED element the sharpness is beyond words. 

So this is my 5th couple and slowly I'm getting to where I want to get at. 

Editorial photo shoot (Pre-wedding)

I've been racking my brain, trying to get the right formula and slowly but surely I'm starting to make some progress. 

I was lots of fun to shoot Cheri and her husband to be. I think it will be an experience they will never forget. 

Stay tuned for more cool images.

Well stayed tuned for some more pre wedding images. This shoot was lots of fun and the couple were having a great time. 

I'll be posting some more so stayed tuned. 

One more time

For all those couples who have participated in my free pre wedding shoot, its been lots of fun. 

I just wrote a message on Malaysian brides .com but seems like they already took it down hmm wonder why. 

Well any way my project seems to be doing very well and my young couples have been very happy with the results so far. Therefore I'm right on target in formulating my own interpretation of wedding photography. By using my many years as a photojournalist and an editorial photographer I have been able to combine the two styles into something quite unique have been able to produce some very amazing wedding shots and I've never done a wedding shoot in my life.  What I am in doing is providing an alternative to the very very boring style of wedding images I've seen. This project has been very challenging in both creativity and physically but worth the challenge. There not very many wedding photographers who can challenge me due to the amount of high end gear I have, plus my many years doing editorial assignments all over the world. 

By using nothing but the best in camera and lens equipment the couples who have been taking part in my project have been given a life time opportunity for Free! 

I've come to the point where I am starting to figure this wedding photography business out and I'm coming to the conclusion that there is very little creativity and most of it is just down right boring. Like I tell the couples during my interview that I am not a wedding photographer and don't pretend to be so don't expect traditional wedding shots. 

Anyway I am going to select 2 more couples for a September shoot, and I will be interviewing them very soon, so if you read this message please call me at 016-956-8697 or email me at 

johnishii@mac.com ASAP. Cut off date is Saturday the 19th of July. 

Hsu-ann and Justin

Ok here we go with the third couple, Hsu-ann and Justin, in  fact they were the first couple that had contacted me for my free pre wedding shoot. 

In this particular shoot I tried to do something a bit different, by using more of an  everyday city  environment as the back drop.  This gives me a kind of urban editorial feel to the shoot, it's fun spontaneous and you just never know what your going to get. It was lots of fun and my production crew had a good time.
