9 years

9. 14. 16

After May 2007 joined Zung Thephotoz’s workshop organized by Mahfooz Rasool Click magazine that time, I started my first commissioned wedding photography job in September 2007.

It is now 9 years since I work as wedding photographer and 4 years since I work as full-time wedding photographer. Over the years, I met a lot of clients, vendors, friends and been thru an exciting path. Thanks for all your support (you know who..).

With Photography, it teach me to observe and appreciate life. I feel like given a second chance in my life after live in this world for 34 years before I met Photography. It rock my world and ever since, I am deeply madly truly in love with wedding photography. Like my sifu said once, in wedding photography, you get to shoot street photography, macro photography, portrait photography, landscape photography ! Each day and until today I am still learning new knowledge, the hunger of learning never stop since the day I purchase my first DSLR and the urge of getting a better image tomorrow is always there to move me forward. Yes, I do have the ups and downs thru out the years, feel happy and great on the achievement and the same time feel disappointed on the bad things that I face and see.. however, I believe , only going thru such experience, then only it will make me appreciate more on the good things and people around me and of course it change the way I see things as well.

Once again, thank you for the one who been supporting me and giving guidance in my search of the path and of course others who teach me good lessons as well..

Recently I read an article on Buddha Quote and let me try to translate :
“no matter who you meet, there is a reason and task behind it and not coincidence, he or she will teach you something in life
The one who likes you give you courage
The one you likes let you learn about love
The one you dislike teach you respect and forgiveness
The one dislike you let you understand what is introspection and growth
No one just appear in your life without a reason
everyone who cross pass your path is fate, We have to appreciate what it gives us”
“Your purpose in life is to find your purpose and give your whole heart and soul to it” – Buddha

About Edwin Tan

Yes, this is a dream to me, I daydream a lot and let me share with you a few of my dreams here. I always dream of creating a website to record every moments of my life and share with my kiddo when their grow up one day and also dream about carrying my cameras and travel around the world, see the world thru my eye,yes, I love travel, it is my ultimate dream to travel around the world, learning thru travel is the best dream I ever have. Dream is an initial point to me. It help me to look at what I really want in my life. As Malaysia Wedding Photographer with international wedding photography membership (WPJA, AGWPJA, WPPI & PPA), I started my photography passion at the end of year 2007. Like most of the beginners, I was purely having fun with my DSLR capturing my family members portraits and events. After attend the talk by one of the master wedding photographer, it change my whole world. I was so touched by the slideshow shown on the projector for the showcase of prewedding and church wedding, the touching moments, the dramatic angles, all these impact was so strong that it hit direct into my heart and awake my passion towards wedding photography. From there onwards, I have focus all my passion on wedding photography and never feel more satisfied when I capture the moments for couple which last for a life time. Whenever I imagine the couple looking back those photos captured by me in ten, fifteen years from now and think, "yeah, that was the moments" "look, how silly you was!" "oh, I cried when I first saw you walks down the aisle i", "yes, I remember what your dad told me that day when he placed your hand in my right hand from his arm after walks down the aisle".. all these keep my heart warm and keep me going on & on for this long path without a single regret or tiredness ...
