We're empowering people, SME and organizations to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030

KEDAZ & Ainsley - Top 20 Ten Outstanding Young Persons (TOYP) Nominees, each with a unique story of impact and inspiration. From innovative solutions to social challenges to transformative community initiatives, their achievements are truly awe-inspiring.

Promoting SDGs through art, culture, and education

Promoting SDGs through art, culture, and education is a profoundly meaningful and effective approach. Art and culture serve as vital bridges that connect people, transcending language and cultural barriers to convey shared values and human experiences. Through artistic expression, we can ignite contemplation on environmental, social, and economic issues, fostering public awareness and engagement.

Education plays a crucial role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. By integrating SDGs into educational curricula, we can disseminate their concepts and objectives, nurturing global awareness and equipping individuals with knowledge and skills to address pressing challenges. Incorporating SDGs into education cultivates a sense of global citizenship, inspiring the younger generation to embrace responsibility and purpose for a sustainable future.

Promoting SDGs through art, culture, and education not only disseminates vital information but also ignites action. Artworks can evoke empathy and resonance, stimulating social participation and change. Cultural activities foster diversity and inclusivity, encouraging broader involvement in the journey toward sustainable development.

Hence, leveraging art, culture, and education to promote SDGs is a potent means to unite hearts, propel societal transformation, and collectively strive for the realization of sustainable development objectives.

Collaboration goes beyond words

Two outstanding young talents, KEDAZ and AINSLEY, have joined forces as they rank among the world's top 20 TOYP (Ten Outstanding Young Persons) finalist. Their collaboration spans diverse fields, as they come together with a shared mission to promote the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the realms of art, culture, and education!

KEDAZ and AINSLEY are stars shining brightly in their respective domains. KEDAZ is a renowned artist, capturing international attention with his unique creativity and exceptional artistic expression. On the other hand, AINSLEY is an education innovator, dedicated to advancing education accessibility and quality, leading the charge for sustainable development in communities.

Their collaboration harnesses the power of art, culture, and education to champion the cause of SDGs in groundbreaking ways. They firmly believe that art and culture serve as bridges to convey emotions and values, transcending language and cultural barriers, stimulating contemplation on global issues. Under their guidance, this message will resonate worldwide through innovative artistic forms.

Education stands as a pivotal key to realizing SDGs. They are resolute in integrating SDGs into the education system, disseminating its concepts and objectives, nurturing a new generation of global citizens, equipped with the knowledge and skills to tackle challenges. They believe that with a deeper understanding, the young generation will become advocates for sustainable development in the future.

KEDAZ and AINSLEY's collaboration goes beyond words, orchestrating an ensemble of action. Their artistic creations will evoke resonance, inspiring social engagement and transformation. Their cultural endeavors will promote diversity and inclusivity, embracing more people into the realm of sustainable development.

Let's eagerly anticipate the collaboration of KEDAZ and AINSLEY, witnessing how they shine brightly through art, culture, and education in driving the realization of SDGs! Let us extend a helping hand and together stride towards a more prosperous, equitable, and sustainable future! ��

You can participate in the global online public voting process until (August 8th, 11:59 PM GMT) , through the official JCI website ��: https://official.jci.cc/#/home?publicvoting=publicvoting_2

The results from this voting will play a decisive role in determining the final outcome.

"Since 1983, no photographer has ever been nominated for the prestigious honor of being selected as one of the "Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the World." Kedaz is the first professional photographer & artist to advance to the Top 20 in history."

Kedaz Heng Zh Feng is a highly influential photo artist who has made significant contributions to the field of photography through his artistic talent, entrepreneurship, and dedication to social causes. He holds the prestigious Fellowship Master qualifications from both the British Institute of Professional Photography and the Master Photographers Association in the United Kingdom. Kedaz has also been recognized as the World's Most Outstanding Photography Celebrity and Grand Master. Throughout his career, he has traveled extensively, capturing moments of people, history, and cultural scenes from o ver 50 countries.

Kedaz has educated over tens of thousands of students worldwide , bringing together photographers from all corners of the globe to capture beauty and utilize imagery to convey happiness and positive energy. Through their beautiful creations, art, and professional photography, they unite photographers and people from around the world, conveying the beauty of different cultures, messages of world peace, and the importance of environmental preservation. As art becomes a catalyst for fundraising, Kedaz helps implement initiatives that benefit communities. The beauty of these images transcends language, enabling a more profound positive impact and influence on society. This influence has earned him prestigious recognition and invitations to deliver inspiring lectures at various organizations, including being invi ted to TEDx talks at the University of Technology Malaysia (UTM) , where he shared insights on "From Ordinary to Extraordinary and Realizing Dreams," inspiring countless young individuals.

Kedaz firmly supports JCI RISE (Rebuild, Invest, Sustain, Evolve) strategy, promoting economic and community sustainability. He persistently:

Rebuilds the economic ability for photographers around the world by providing them opportunities through the Amazing Group international platform.
Invests in educating young photographers through Amazing Academy, enhancing their photography skills for sustainable business growth.
Sustains the Amazing Academy Program by nurturing students as trainers for the academy.
Evolves the photography industry in developing and underdeveloped countries, elevating the engagement level for photography services to an international standard.

Advancing the development of photographers worldwide (SDG8):

As a JCI Ambassador, Kedaz is committed to advancing SDG8: "Promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all." His educational efforts in photography art have successfully cultivated photographers from over 50 countries, with many becoming internationally recognized. His students have not only won numerous awards but have also become international competition judges, mentors, and contributors to the art community.

Combining art and technology for environmental and social sustainability (SDG13 & 15):

Kedaz has reinvented the business card industry for a sustainable world through technology, eliminating the need to print thousands of paper business cards for distribution. Each year, the production of traditional paper business cards results in a potential loss of nearly six million trees. Shockingly, within a week after receiving a business card, almost 90% of them are discarded, many ending up in landfills. Approximately 42% of globally harvested wood is used to make paper, leading to deforestation and habitat destruction. This excessive use of trees for paper production is a major concern, as trees store 50% of all terrestrial carbon, making them crucial buffers against climate change.

Kedaz's technology-integrated digital business cards allow for precise information exchange and convey environmental awareness through beautiful imagery. They contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by planting one trillion trees to combat climate change, in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme. In today's visual era, they bring together people from different regions to create and utilize beautiful images on technology business cards, spreading the message of environmental awareness and achieving sustainable development goals. With the increasing number of users each month, they have already planted over 6,000 trees in just one year . They aim to plant over one million trees in total, making a significant impact in tackling the climate crisis.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) movements for positive change:

Inspired by JCI's slogan "Agent of Change," Kedaz is a strong advocate for charitable causes. His company regularly engages in CSR activities, providing photography training in orphanages, schools, and workshops with waived fees for disabled and orphan participants. Kedaz and his Amazing Team actively participate in CSR programs, utilizing their professional photography and videography skills to create positive change and impactful imagery that influences and helps society. Their mission to create happiness led to the "Buy One Help One Program," providing professional photography services to capable families and free photography services to underprivileged families, promoting happiness and community development. This program has positively influenced families in 30 countries worldwide. Additionally, Kedaz collaborated with the OPPO brand and was invited to be a "Cultural Ambassador" under the "Preserving Culture and Heritage" program . Through smartphone photography, he has reached over 650,000 audiences , raising awareness about the significance of preserving cultural heritage in Asia and beyond.

Kedaz's Journey of Growth:

Kedaz's exceptional achievements at a young age have established him as one of the most reputable professional photographers in the world. As a photography goodwill ambassador, he has brought great honor to Malaysia in the international photography community. His accomplishments in the photography industry are truly remarkable, especially considering the lack of official resources to nurture artists and photographers in Malaysia. Being a self-trained photographer, he won his first prestigious international award at the WPPI competition in 2009 and repeated the feat with 20 award-winning submissions at the WPPI Las Vegas in 2010. Previously, world-famous photographers were concentrated in the West, and they perceived Asian photography as lagging behind. This motivated Kedaz to tirelessly enhance his skills and attract the attention of professional organizations and photographers in Western countries towards Malaysian and Asian photographers. To date, Kedaz has accumulated more than 550 awards . He is a highly sought-after photography mentor and is regularly invited to prominent international events and summits, including those organized by WPPI (USA), MPA (UK), MPA (China), MWP (Turkey), PWS (Greece), ASIAWPA (Hong Kong), and WPPA (Southeast Asia) and More.

Kedaz's educational program has provided photography education to students from all over the world, attracting participants from diverse countries in every session. Graduates are offered opportunities to become trainers, contributing to the continuous growth of the Academy. To date, this impactful program has conducted more than 100 offline and online classes and workshops in 51 major cities across 30 countries, with a total of 10,368 students graduated.

Since 2014, countless Western photographers have chosen Kedaz as their mentor to learn photography. He has been invited to represent Malaysia in over 20 international competitions as a judge, sharing experiences and promoting innovation among students and photographers from the US, UK, Greece, Turkey, Italy, France, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Macao, the Philippines, and many more countries. As a representative of Asian Chinese photographers, Kedaz is fluent in three major languages - Chinese, English, and Malay, and has been appointed as the first ambassador for the Master Photographers Association in China.

In 2020, Kedaz co-founded the COSMOS Awards , an international competition focused on photography and filmmaking. Esteemed judges from all over the world provide critiques to help participants hone their craft. The first competition, held in Europe and Asia, attracted approximately 2,500 participants from 190 countries . By 2023, the COSMOS Awards have reached their fourth session, with 47 renowned Master Photographers serving as judges.

Despite his extraordinary achievements at a young age, Kedaz maintains a humble character and applies his artistic talent to inspire the continuous development of the global photography industry while actively contributing to humanitarian efforts for underprivileged communities.

Thank you very much for all the continuous support

This time, I have been nominated to represent the photography industry and successfully entered the Top 20 for the "Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the World" (TOYP) award.

�� As the only photographer worldwide to be nominated as a cultural and artistic representative in the past forty years and entering the Top 20.
�� It has been a long time since a representative from the cultural and artistic field achieved this recognition.
�� The World's Top 10 is just one step away.
�� I hope you can rally your friends, family, and team to vote for me

��️ (Voting is open worldwide until August 8th) .

Thanks a million for your VOTE��

World Photography Day

WORLD PHOTOGRAPHY DAY

"Beauty can be seen in all things, seeing and composing the beauty is what separates the snapshot from the photograph. Happy World Photography Day! "

ABOUT HISTORY

World Photography Day originated after the invention of the 'daguerreotype'. It is a photographic process developed in 1837 by Frenchmen Louis Daguerre and Joseph Nicephore Niepce.

Two years later, on January 9, 1839, the French Academy of Sciences officially endorsed the daguerreotype. After seven months, the French government on August 19, 1839, announced that the invention of the daguerreotype was a gift to the world.

World Photography Day is an annual celebration of art, science, and history of photography. It is observed every year on August 19th to pay tribute to the art of photography. This day is commemorated with an aim to encourage people who want to pursue photography as a hobby or career.

A picture captures a thousand emotions locked in a frame. Photography is a form of art that immortalizes the moment forever. It has also become one of the most important and widely used modes of communication in the digital era.

Photography has evolved from its original purpose of documentation into a language in its own right. Different methods of photography convey different emotions, and often each photographer, in the course of time, develops their own style.

"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving What you have caught on film is captured forever It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything Happy World Photography Day"

What do you do on a photography Day?

Photographers or those who believe that they have clicked some beautiful pictures can share on social media platform. People can share their photo collection to show their friends and family members their photography skills, the story & messages from the photograph...

Photographs are the best way to capture memories and feelings. Some of the greatest experiences are actually from pictures. Seeing photos, we not only go into the flashback but also get nostalgic.

Happy World Photography Day!

10 Steps to an Award Winning Entry

Sun, 18 Jul 2021 06:24:06 GMT

10 Steps to an Award Winning Entry

I guess being a photographer today is not the same thing as it was 10 or 20 years ago. People need to evolve , and photography is a creative job, so be creative and stay updated is really important.

Let me talk about competition in my life ...

”Competition”

Those years! When I was very young in primary school, I regularly took part in competitions. These competitions ranged from art to sports (but not photography because my school did not have that. Ha!)

The word “contest/competition” regularly appeared in my life. The first contest I entered was a drawing competition. Each time there was a competition, my teachers would choose me to take part in it. Sometimes I would win and sometimes I would lose , but I was always very grateful for my teachers’ guidance .

When I was Sixth grade in primary school , I switched to taking part in sports competitions. That year, I was extremely busy because I was one of the School representative of badminton team and basketball team. Training and practice took up much of my time. I loved the feeling of running around on the courts, the shouts of encouragement and cheers from my fellow schoolmates. They gave me the motivation and passion to keep on playing and want to be better and better.

Even though I could bring glory to my school by winning in competitions, there was another mission and passion, in fact, the purpose of a competition is learning and to interact with each other. Competitions are also a platform for social interaction. We can learn more about ourselves through competitions; we will be conscious of our opponent’s strengths and even more aware of our own weaknesses .

We will begin to understand the saying “No matter how good you are, there is always someone better than you” and make up for our weaknesses by capitalizing on our strengths. Competitions were also very important because they helped to train my courage. I believe that these youthful experiences of mine contributed to my later growth .

Click ====> Read More About Master KEDA.Z AWARDS 2009-2021

Cosmos Awards is focused in international photography and filmmaking competition. Some of the most prestigious and greatest judges from all over the world will judge and help the participants to hone their craft through their critiques.

Since 2009 was my 1st time joined International Competition

When I first entered the field of photography, I set goals for myself. In the future, I will represent the country and shine on the international stage. At that time, I set myself goals and methods of action. I gave myself many tasks to complete. One of the tasks to achieve the goals of the international stage was to participate in international competitions.

I often ask myself who I am? What do I want to do? how should I do? When do you want to achieve it? These allow me to confirm myself, these questions let me find the way to implement my goals. Of course, we need to set the deadline of the goal is very important, time becomes the driving force to act and complete within the deadline.

Photography is an artistic job, so "unique thinking" ，”innovation “，and “create extraordinary things" are the abilities we need to cultivate and possess in order to stand out in the entire field. So shoot more，think more, read more, travel more, and expand your knowledge with great mentor.

Advice：

“Set your sights on achieving something you believe is beyond your reach.”

WHY？

Reason - You Shy Away From Feedback

A lot of photographers like to ask for feedback but don’t like receiving it. Too often I hear stories of photographers being asked for feedback, providing it and then offending the photographer with their honesty. A lot of us have become used to the destructive feedback that rules the internet and are conditioned to respond angrily and defensively, even when it comes in a constructive form. I generally feel that feedback should be given only when asked for, or given in private, but too many of us fail to ask for it in the first place.

What I’ve learned is that photography is a proce ss of creation and destruction. Not everything is portfolio-worthy, but everything we do will strengthen our portfolio in the future. Each image is an intangible investment even if it doesn’t end up as a finished product. Make it a part of your yearly or even monthly routine to ask for feedback from people you respect , so the best way is you can take part in a good competition that help really help you to improve. As a result, you’ll watch yourself grow tremendously as a photographer.

As we read the above reasons, we say to ourselves,

“yeah, I should be doing more of that.” We get advice from others and say to ourselves, “yeah, they’ve got a point.” But then what? We’re all ready to make our work better but as time goes on, we end up doing nothing about it. We just carry on with the status quo and wonder why we’re not improving.

Don't let that happen to you..

Be positive thinking, be creative or ...wash out by the society? appreciate what we have and stop complain what we dont know and lose. that's why don't stop learning, hav a good foundation or basic will never be perfect, keep up with the pace of the era with a young heart, explore possibilities, there is never any reason to remain stuck in an undesirable situation, there are always possibilities waiting to lead you to a better place and never wash out by the society.

Don't worry about those who talk behind your back. That's where they belong behind you ✨

When you're surrounded by people who share a passionate commitment around a common purpose, anything is possible.

Surrounded yourself with people who have creative minds with amazing commitment to their dreams.

My personal goals are to be happy, healthy and to be surrounded by loved ones.

Last:

You must never doubt your ability to achieve anything, become anything, overcome anything and inspire everything.

Step 1: Strong first impression / Impact

The first thing the judges are looking for is impact and a strong first impression. The moment an image is presented to the judges, it has to inspire a strong emotion to be rewarded well. If the image is forgettable then it will most likely not be rewarded well. If the images slap the judges in their face and they will never forget it, then chances are you well on your way to a good score.

Step 2: Point of difference / Originality / Creativity

Your every day work may be consistent and sealable but may not be conducive of doing well in competition. What will win the hearts of your clients may not necessarily win the hearts of the judges. Originality with great execution is highly rewarded. Perhaps an entry has been created well but its impact is lessened because it has been seen before and arguably created more effectively. Make the judges ask themselves, “Why didn't I think of that?”

Step 3: In camera Artistry / Degree of difficulty / Focus / Exposure

This step celebrates the craft the photographer executed “in camera” from elementary things as desired focus to correct exposure to the difficulty of achieving the desired result “in camera.”

Step 4: Post production / Detail in highlights and shadows / Color Balance / Retouching

At first glance and a prolonged view, the quality of your entry must be refined. Poor post production is usually the first negative thing judges notice including lack of detail in highlights and shadows, flat black tones, over sharpening, unreal HDR, poor color, poor skin retouching etc. "Invisible Photoshop" is usually the best approach. As in, evidence of what you have done in post production is not apparent.

Step 5: Emotion / Story / Communication

Remember that every element in your image should help convey the desired message and story of the subject matter to the viewer of your image. Is the story apparent or does it have just enough mystery to inspire the judges to draw their own unique conclusion. Photography is art right? Art is defined as a form of communication. So the more effective you communicate your message to the viewer, your art is more understood and therefore rewarded.

Step 6: Print Quality / Presentation

The print quality, paper choice, finishing and presentation of your entry must compliment and support the in camera technique and the post production done to your entry.

Step 7: Lighting

Lighting creates mood, drama, texture, depth, dimension, shape and helps communicate a desired message to the viewer. Is the brightest light visible on the desired point of interest? Is there evidence of a direction of light and catch lights? Does it flatter the subject? Poor lighting will adversely affect your score.

Step 8: Posing / Placements of Elements / Design

You wouldn’t see a Michelangelo painting or sculpture with a subject that is poorly posed. Photography is no different. Effective posing is either flattering and/or it helps communicate the message of the artist to the viewer. If posing is not applicable to your entry then where you place your subject matter within the frame is the key to effective communication.

Step 9: Composition / Cropping / Point of Interest

How you compose and crop your image can elevate your entry from ordinary to extraordinary. How you bring the viewer's attention to the desired area of the image is paramount. Remember, the brightest part of the image should be the artist's desired point of interest.

Step 10: Great Example of the Category / Style / Finesse / Refinement

Is your entry the quintessential representation of the category it’s submitted into? Are you bold enough to try to redefine a genre? Your entry should reek class and be refined, finessed and polished in every way with the above steps in mind.

10 Tips to Make Your Photos Look Professional

Mon, 28 Jun 2021 09:53:00 GMT

10 Tips to Make Your Photos Look Professional

You'll find that there are some things that will dramatically improve your photography without much effort.

Here are the simplest things you can do to quickly see an improvement in your photos.

#Tip_Z1 : ��

Lighting is the #1 fastest way to make a photo look more professional.

Lighting is number one on this list for a reason. It's easily the most overlooked aspect of photography for beginning photographers, but professional photographers obsess about it. Lighting is the most important thing to making a photo look professional.

Now what makes lighting look interesting?

First of all, it's different from what we normally see.

Second, it highlights the subject and presents it in a good way.

#Tip_Z2 : ��

An aberration in photography is something that is left in the picture that doesn't belong in the picture. It makes the photo feel cluttered with distractions that keep the viewer from enjoying the subject.

#Tip_Z3 : ��

Digital styling is applied in Photoshop and Lightroom and allows the photographer to creatively change the colors, contrast, exposure and more.

If you feel like you're ready to learn this part of photography, I highly recommend getting Lightroom & Photoshop and taking my Z100+ Mastery Secrets course to help you get started with the software.

#Tip_Z4 : ��

Capturing an interesting subject is usually the simplest part of photography. Even non-photographers know that some things are more interesting in a photo than others.

#Tip_Z5 : ��

There are so many factors that impact the sharpness of a photo that it can be difficult to know what is causing a reduction in sharpness in your photos. But I have found after coaching thousands and thousands of photographers that the problem is usually that the photographer did not get the focus quite right.

When taking a picture of a person, it's essential to put the focus point exactly on the eye of the person you are photographing.

#Tip_Z6 : ��

Sometimes I find an interesting subject, but just not an interesting place to photograph it from. If you look at professional photos, they are very often taken from non-obvious spots. For example, a photo of a CEO will be photographed from down low, looking up at the person to make him or her look more powerful. Or, in the case of photographing a city, we often want to get to a very high perspective to shoot down and see the whole city.

#Tip_Z7 : ��

Composition is probably the most difficult thing on this list to teach in a short amount of time, but it makes a tremendous difference.

If you have an important upcoming shoot, I highly recommend that you start learning composition by at least learning the rule of thirds. The rule of thirds is the most basic rule of composition that basically tells the photographer to imagine a tic-tac-toe board on the frame of the picture, and to put the most interesting part of the photo on the intersection of those lines.

#Tip_Z8 : ��

Mood is an oft-overlooked aspect of photography, but I find that it's an excellent way to learn to make a photo more impactful. As you take pictures, ask yourself “What mood will this photo convey?”

#Tip_Z9 : �� -��-��

Depth-of-field is a hallmark of professional photography–especially professional pictures of people. Shallow depth-of-field means that the subject of the photo is sharp, and the background is blurry. Learning this technique can instantly transform your photography to something much more professional looking.

To take a picture with shallow depth of field, follow ALL of the steps in this recipe:

1. Put on your longest lens

2. Set the camera to aperture priority

3. Set the aperture as low as it will go

4. Step as close to the subject as you can while still allowing the lens to focus

5. Place the subject far away from anything in the background.

6. Put the focus point on the subject

7. Take the picture

#Tip_Z10 : ��

Exposure means the brightness or darkness of a photo. It's probably the thing that beginning photographers put the most work into learning. There are three ways to control the exposure of a photo: aperture, ISO, and shutter speed.

#Conclusion

If you can only do a few of these things in your photo, make it these: capture interesting lighting, use a creative composition, and remember to digitally style the photo afterward.

Keda Z & Kelly’s Globe-Spanning Wedding to France, USA, Maldives & Singapore

Tue, 15 Jun 2021 06:00:12 GMT

Keda Z & Kelly’s Globe-Spanning Wedding to France, USA, Maldives & Singapore.

Keda may be the man behind the Keda.Z Photography brand but he credits his wife, Kelly, for being his hero who stuck by his side through thick and thin during their 10-year courtship.In December 2015, Keda took to commemorating Kelly’s birthday with a surprise party at the Beach Villas, Equarius Hotel, Resorts World Sentosa.

She was greeted by a host of family and friends in a room with a birthday cake, complete with balloons.

A touching video presentation followed, containing video messages from friends around the world with hints of a proposal coming Kelly’s way.

Kelly had a second surprise when Keda performed a song he composed for her. Consumed by emotions, Keda had to take a pause midway and then completed the song with the question: “Will you marry me?”

She said “yes”.

Looking back, Keda remembers when he was “a poor young man with a dream.” He was a newcomer to the world of photography in May 2006 and Kelly accompanied him to work by bus.

“She never looked down on me as a fresh and unestablished photographer but went through all the hardship together with me. Some people believe that relationships may make you lose focus of your career, but for us our careers improved through the encouragement we gained from each other through our relationship.

“Kelly has seen me grow and accompanied me in everything, from being a nobody to an established photographer – from shooting in small cities to shooting for the international stage, judging international competitions, and being interviewed in magazines, allowing my work to be seen all over the world,” the romantic shutterbug proclaimed."

Weddings in Singapore & to the Maldives….

Keda says his hard work in the past decade was to build a career and a future for them both, “and Kelly has always been behind me, being the hero that gives me strength.”

Between then and their November 2, 2016, wedding, Keda and Kelly went on a global journey documenting their union. Their pre-wedding photo sessions featured the couple against picturesque, vintage scenes in the Southern France and then a contrasting wedding photography scape, in the United States.

Their nuptials took place on a sunny day with clear blue skies at Velassaru Maldives, where the ocean presents itself in a just as eye-pleasing shade of blue.

The very romantic Keda says: “In front of us was a picture-perfect view of the clear, vast ocean, and the mansion beside it. The air smelled like heaven. We were very fortunate to find a great 5-star hotel, and the team was well-prepared, down to the very last detail. Our guests were very happy.”

Determined to have a memorable big day, Keda said he was not going to let stress get in the way of happiness. He spent the morning at the gym and pool with his Z photographing brothers while Kelly had some quality time with her sister and best friends who made up her bridal party.

Donning a beautiful embellished “Swan Lake” Paolo Sebastian gown from The Proposal in Singapore, Kelly stunned the guests of the event as she walked down a flower-strewn aisle, toward her husband-to-be whilst holding her mother’s arm.

They made promises to each other. Kelly thanked Keda for his undying love for her and her family and asked that they walk through life together, overcoming every challenge with each other.

“I never thought that my other half will always look at me like when we first met each other. I’m very thankful to have you,” she told him.

“I promised to give you a happy life. I don’t know if my efforts are enough to make you happy (but) I promise to continue making you happy. I love you,” Keda said, wiping away a tear.

The groom sported a two-piece custom COCOON suit by d.danny that bore his signature ‘Z’ initial, embroidered on his lapel.

The celebration continues in Singapore, a celebration with fellow distinguished wedding industry friends and accomplished photography master photographers .. .

The event was documented by Amazing Group and Seeler Photography who was also tasked to shoot at their second reception at the S.E.A. Aquarium Singapore. The party was attended by fellow photographers, and clients who turned into the couple’s close friends.

“This ‘under the sea’ wedding, with schools of fishes swimming all around the crowd, was unbelievable and romantic,” Keda told The Wedding Scoop.

Keda reportedly serenaded Kelly to the song ‘Gao Bai Qi Qio’ who embraced every moment with tears in her eyes so much so he too was consumed with emotions.

“Love starts from nowhere and yet it deepens. On the journey to love, don’t walk side-by-side if you can hold hands; don’t hold hands if you can hug; don’t hug if you can kiss. In this crazy world, no matter where you are, once you’ve found the one, hold on tight and don’t ever let go. Best wishes to everyone who is reading this, pursue your dream wedding, and don’t leave behind any regrets in life!” he imparts.

Building Portfolio = Making Money

Sun, 13 Jun 2021 17:08:57 GMT

Building Portfolio = Making Money

Building a photography portfolio is one of the first steps to making money as a photographer. It allows you to show off your best work to potential clients and helps others see your skills and value as an artist.

Why is Portfolio important in photography?

Your Portfolio Demonstrates your View of the World

Your photography shows your unique angle on the world around you. Nobody else can bring the same creativity to the table, because no one else has had the same experiences as you. Your portfolio is a chance to get others excited about your vision.

What makes a good photography portfolio?

The first photo should be the best, and the last photo should be excellent. From there, mix in your favourites so that they're not all at the beginning. A photography portfolio shouldn't just show that you know exposure and white balance. Your portfolio should also convey your style, and what type of work you do.

Kickstart Your Photography Career with Your Portfolio

When making a name for yourself as a photographer, putting together a portfolio can be the last thing on your mind. It’s hard enough to find new clients, engage with existing ones, as well as connect with the wide photography community. All the while, working on your skills by using the latest techniques.

Yet, when armed with a portfolio, you can take ownership of your work, creative vision, and photography in a way that equips you succeed as a professional in the long run.

Now, let’s look into the benefits of having a portfolio in more detail.

How Can Your Portfolio Kickstart Your Professional Career?

Your Portfolio Supports Your Creative Direction

Your Portfolio Fosters Respect from Clients

Your Portfolio Shows your View of the World

Your Portfolio Grows With Your Career

Your Portfolio Makes Your Photography Visible

Your Portfolio Supports Your Creative Direction

In the same way that every photography session is its own project, your portfolio is no different. Just like a client project, it requires research, planning, and execution – the only difference? The client is you.

With every project, comes a certain creative direction that will influence your vision and techniques in one way or another.

A portfolio helps potential clients see how you approach curating work when you have no limitations other than your own vision to be accountable to. Therefore, showing your clientele that you have confidence in your work, and that you uphold a level of commitment that makes you dependable, and self-driven.

Your Portfolio Demonstrates your View of the World

In this way, your portfolio shows the world through your eyes – which is what potential clients want to see before hiring you. Your photography shows your unique angle on the world around you. Nobody else can bring the same creativity to the table, because no one else has had the same experiences as you.

Your portfolio is a chance to get others excited about your vision. Yes, you can tell someone what you do and explain how you do it but your visual style will translate much better when seen rather than heard.

Your Portfolio Grows With Your Career

The role of your portfolio in your career changes as your reach and skills grow. If you’re just starting out, your portfolio signals credibility to potential clients while you’re building up your body of work. Your portfolio can take on the role of showing your creative range, specialities, and helps demonstrate the relevance of your work to brands, clients and projects.

For globally recognized photographers,such as Brooklyn-based documentary photographer Haruka Sakaguchi, a portfolio demonstrates her niche. It serves as a calling card for clients and carefully curated virtual space for inspiring other photographers.

No matter where you are in your photography career, your portfolio serves a key purpose of helping your business grow at the same pace as your ambition. This is why having a portfolio is a good way to prepare yourself for professional growth later on in your career and always keep you on the right track.

Your Portfolio Fosters New Respect from Clients

One slightly more obvious benefit of having a portfolio is that it can elevate you and your work in a client’s mind to a more professional level. A portfolio can act as solid ground when you’re dealing with a problematic or inexperienced client.

Having an online portfolio can discourage questionable clients from hiring you, and can help you stand your ground when faced with creative decisions with less experienced clients. By having an online presence you are able to position yourself as a knowledgeable photography professional.

Your Portfolio Makes Your Photography Visible

Having a portfolio is seen as essential for securing clients.But have you ever considered why? Chances are, your digital footprint as a photographer includes social media accounts and professional photography marketplaces.

Digital touchpoints such as your marketplace account create a trail leading your potential clients towards your work. However, they can be left hanging if they don’t have a place to see how your diverse collection of work, projects and products come together.

No such thing as a perfect portfolio

While getting started on your own portfolio can be intimidating, it’s important to remember that there is no such thing as a perfect portfolio. Every portfolio is a snapshot of where you are in your journey as a photographer. It shouldn’t be designed to representation your work in a year from now.

But how do you know if your portfolio is good enough? The only portfolio that’s not good enough to show the world is one that doesn’t fully represent you or your work in the way that you want it to be seen.

Creating a Portfolio Doesn’t Have to be Hard.

Format provides a limitless range of portfolio templates created specifically for the needs of creative professionals. Templates that are quick to use, intuitive to navigate and allow your work to shine with clean, polished layouts.

How to Make a Photography Portfolio – Important Dos & Don'ts

A portfolio allows a photographer to quickly and simply share their work with potential clients. A great portfolio will bring you plenty of work, while a bad one will make work few and far between. But what constitutes a good portfolio? And how do you recognise a bad one, even when reviewing your own work?

While portfolios are just as varied as individual photographer’s personalities, there are a few tricks to determine if your portfolio is ready to go, or if it needs a bit more building. Watch for these dos and don’ts when building a photography portfolio.

Don’t include similar images

Your portfolio is a collection of all your best work. Include two similar images, and potential clients may think you’re a lazy photographer that just takes multiple photos of the same thing. It’s okay to include photos from the same shoot, especially if you’re just starting out, but make sure those photos are different in more ways than one. If you’re building a portrait portfolio, for example, don’t include a second shot that just involved readjusting the subject’s hands, but you can include a photo from a completely different set-up from the same session.

Do cut back

A portfolio with hundreds of images quickly becomes overwhelming. Your portfolio should include your best work, and only your best work. If you can identify one small thing that’s off, don’t include it. Showcase your best images, not all of your images. If you find yourself wanting to include more than you should, use a blog to display images from each photo shoot, and a portfolio with just the best ones.

Don’t use images inconsistent with your style

A portfolio doesn’t just show a potential client that you’re a competent photographer, it helps them determine if your styles will mesh well. If you have an image with perfect composition and exposure, but it’s not your typical style, don’t include it. Your portfolio should state more than just the fact that you know the technical aspects of photography. It should display your artistic style too.

Do specialise

A bride-to-be doesn’t want to sift through your photos of corporate events. Specialising in a certain area of photography is a good idea for starting a photography business. But if you shoot in multiple subcategories, have a separate portfolio for each. If you shoot both maternity photos and newborn portraits, keep separate albums or use different pages on your website.

Don’t forget to consider the audience

Who is looking at your portfolio? It’s an essential question to consider. A bride-to-be isn’t looking for the same thing that a business is looking for. When choosing the elements of the image, like what cover to use or what template to choose for your website, consider who your audience is, and what will speak to them the most.

Do consider multiple formats – printed or online?

Do you need a printed album or just an online portfolio? Or perhaps both? A printed album displays your work as it was meant to be seen and can show greater detail. If you often meet potential clients face-to-face, be sure to have an album to show them when you meet. If you don’t often meet, an online portfolio is likely all you need.

It’s an easy way to showcase your work and style, share your work with clients or social media for exposure, or just get feedback from peers. Professional portfolio builder platforms make it really easy to set up one for yourself without any technical knowledge or work, and at a minimal cost.

Don’t be afraid to shoot for free

New photographers should focus on building a solid portfolio. Of course, if you don’t yet have a portfolio, you probably don’t yet have any paying gigs, and that’s OK. Shoot for free or cheap for friends and family until you have a complete portfolio. Once you have a complete portfolio, clients will be willing to pay for your work when they can see what they’re paying for.

Do get another opinion

As photographers, we tend to get attached to our images. One image we think is absolutely great may not really be that good. Get a second opinion (or third or fourth), preferably from someone who’s also a photographer if you can. If another photographer isn’t available for a portfolio review, reach out to a friend that’s also in your target audience. Consider the feedback carefully, and make adjustments from there.

Don’t use images that need an explanation

Remember that image that you fought through rain, debris and all kinds of obstacles to shoot? Don’t include it simply because it was a challenging photo. Share it if it is a great photo, but don’t include it in your portfolio if you need to explain just why that photo is so great. The best photographs will speak for themselves. If the wow reaction only comes after an explanation, don’t include it.

Do start and end strong

The first image in your portfolio should be just amazing, but so should your last. Don’t give in to the temptation to put all your best work at the front, or potential clients may stop looking through the album once they reach your lesser work. The first photo should be the best, and the last photo should be excellent. From there, mix in your favourites so that they’re not all at the beginning.

A photography portfolio shouldn’t just show that you know exposure and white balance. Your portfolio should also convey your style, and what type of work you do. A portfolio could be printed or online, or even both, but should also include only your best work. Select through your favourites, then go through them again with a strict list of standards to wind up with only the best. Keep in mind the dos and don’ts for building a photography portfolio, and continue to update as your skills evolve.

7 Steps for Building a Unique Brand for Your Photography Business

When people think about unique brands, they often think about large retail corporations like Nike, Apple, and other multinational corporations. Massive marketing campaigns with elite PR companies give them the ability to deliver consistent, reinforced messages across multiple platforms to achieve their goals.

However, creating a unique brand with loyal customers isn’t reserved for large businesses. In fact, small businesses like photography studios can build a solid brand that consistently attracts loyal customers. We can still speak to our target audience, build hype, and stand out in our local markets; and in this article, we’ll review how.

The Power of Branding

A powerful brand comprises of multiple ingredients – a unique and attractive logo, a catchy tag line, an unforgettable personality, a distinct voice, and more. You can use the same ingredients and build a unique brand for your photography business.

1. Identify What Makes You Special

One of the most important things that you need for your brand is the “X” factor. It’s one thing (or even a couple of things) that makes you special. For instance, it could be a certain photography style that’s unlike any other style out there, or just a unique perspective on taking photos that others lack. If you can identify this unique factor, then you can make it your tagline, incorporate the message in your blogs and social media posts, etc. to build a big brand over time. The key is reinforcing this unique characteristic throughout all of your web presence. If you’re having a hard time thinking of your “X” factor, ask yourself the following questions:

What are my strengths and weaknesses?
What makes my photography style different from my competition?
What makes my client experience different from my competition?

2. Create a Unique logo

Having a unique and attractive logo allows you to stand out from the competition. When your customers see your logo in ads, social media content, videos, etc. then it helps in building brand loyalty. Plus, people take your company more seriously when it has a premium logo.

When I started photography, getting a unique logo was difficult and costly because the best option was to hire a professional designer. These days, it’s much more easy to create a logo, with plenty of low cost options or free options. You can learn all about creating a beautiful photography logo on line and create some of the best designs yourself!

3. Identify Your Ideal Client

A business is all about selling, right? But do you know who are you selling to? If you don’t have a clear mental image of your ideal client, then your marketing and branding efforts will be weak. This is because all decisions you take- which social media platforms to focus on, what local events to attend, what tone and messaging to use online, etc. are influenced by the target audience. For instance, if you want to do wildlife photography, then your message should contain a sense of adventure and a hunger for risks. Similarly, if you want to be a professional wedding photographer , then you want to develop a brand that’s pleasing, comforting, and understands the beauty of relationships.

The key takeaway is to specialize and avoid trying to serve every single client. Identify your audience and cater your website, your social media, your newsletter, and every other public facing aspect of your business to that audience. Consider specializing in styles, such as “Light and Airy” or “Moody” or “Editorial.” Or consider focusing in on marketing to a specific demographic like culture/ethnicity or age group.

4. Develop a Strong Personality

Believe it or not- brands have personalities just like humans. They have a certain way of speaking and communicating. They can give good or bad first impressions. They can seem confident or insecure. They can also feel strongly for certain causes and emotions.

For instance, Nike is all about pushing yourself to the limit and “just doing it”, and Apple has a personality of an elite entity that always seeks the most premium entertainment experience. Take away point: If you want to develop a strong photography brand, then you must develop a strong personality for your brand first.

The key takeaway is consistency. For example, if you’re going for quirky and fun, then that vibe and communication style should be present in your images, on your about us page, and on your social media profiles and content. If you’re going for “Luxury,” then that theme needs to stay consistent in all of your content as well.

5. Keep it Simple

An important rule in branding is simplicity . You don’t want to create a website that’s replete with all kinds of fonts and colors, or use too much jargon in your social media posts, blog posts, etc. to the point at which you sound too technical and high brow. What you need is simplicity- simplicity in messaging, style, and just about everything.

A viewer should be able to tell what you do and why you’re different within 5 seconds of viewing your website or social media profile. If it takes multiple clicks, scrolls, or paragraphs to come to that conclusion, consider revisiting your website layout or overall brand presentation.

6. Connect Emotionally

The end goal of all brands, for most businesses, is generating a lot of revenue. However, emotions sit at the core of every major brand. This is because a brand works only if it connects with a person on an emotional level. Otherwise, it’s just another business in one trade industry or another.

Some of the main attributes that your photography brand should have are charisma, passion, and reliance. Use these emotions to build stronger bonds with your customers. You will see that this approach will help you create more regular customers than ever.

7. Build a Spectacular Website with Stunning Portfolio

Photography is all about presentation and visuals. So, when you build a website for your photography brand, then the website should be vivid, attractive, and simply captivating. You can also consider it a platform to show off your photography skills as you can publish your portfolio in all kinds of creative ways. So, whether you are taking help from a pr ofessional or creating your photography website yourself , make sure that the final result manifests creativity and passion.

So, there you have it- 7 simple steps to build a unique brand for your photography business.

The question is- when are you going to start?

Your Photography Portfolio is going to Make More Money as a Proffesional Photographer or Artist.

Your portfolio serves a key purpose of helping your photography business grow at the same pace as your ambition.

Make the most of the season by following these simple guidelines

website@sitemodify.com (Website Editor) — Sun, 13 Jun 2021 16:42:51 GMT

The new season is a great reason to make and keep resolutions. Whether it’s eating right or cleaning out the garage, here are some tips for making and keeping resolutions.

Make a list

Lists are great ways to stay on track. Write down some big things you want to accomplish and some smaller things, too.

Check the list regularly

Don’t forget to check in and see how you’re doing. Just because you don’t achieve the big goals right away doesn’t mean you’re not making progress.

Reward yourself

When you succeed in achieving a goal, be it a big one or a small one, make sure to pat yourself on the back.

Think positively

Positive thinking is a major factor in success. So instead of mulling over things that didn’t go quite right, remind yourself of things that did.

Keep in touch with site visitors and boost loyalty

website@sitemodify.com (Website Editor) — Sun, 13 Jun 2021 16:42:51 GMT

There are so many good reasons to communicate with site visitors. Tell them about sales and new products or update them with tips and information.

Here are some reasons to make blogging part of your regular routine.

Blogging is an easy way to engage with site visitors

Writing a blog post is easy once you get the hang of it. Posts don’t need to be long or complicated. Just write about what you know, and do your best to write well.

Show customers your personality

When you write a blog post, you can really let your personality shine through. This can be a great tool for showing your distinct personality.

Blogging is a terrific form of communication

Blogs are a great communication tool. They tend to be longer than social media posts, which gives you plenty of space for sharing insights, handy tips and more.

It’s a great way to support and boost SEO

Search engines like sites that regularly post fresh content, and a blog is a great way of doing this. With relevant metadata for every post so search engines can find your content.

Drive traffic to your site

Every time you add a new post, people who have subscribed to it will have a reason to come back to your site. If the post is a good read, they’ll share it with others, bringing even more traffic!

Blogging is free

Maintaining a blog on your site is absolutely free. You can hire bloggers if you like or assign regularly blogging tasks to everyone in your company.

A natural way to build your brand

A blog is a wonderful way to build your brand’s distinct voice. Write about issues that are related to your industry and your customers.

Tips for writing great posts that increase your site traffic

website@sitemodify.com (Website Editor) — Sun, 13 Jun 2021 16:42:50 GMT

Write about something you know. If you don’t know much about a specific topic that will interest your readers, invite an expert to write about it.

Speak to your audience

You know your audience better than anyone else, so keep them in mind as you write your blog posts. Write about things they care about. If you have a company Facebook page, look here to find topics to write about

Take a few moments to plan your post

Once you have a great idea for a post, write the first draft. Some people like to start with the title and then work on the paragraphs. Other people like to start with subtitles and go from there. Choose the method that works for you.

Don’t forget to add images

Be sure to include a few high-quality images in your blog. Images break up the text and make it more readable. They can also convey emotions or ideas that are hard to put into words.

Edit carefully before posting

Once you’re happy with the text, put it aside for a day or two, and then re-read it. You’ll probably find a few things you want to add, and a couple more that you want to remove. Have a friend or colleague look it over to make sure there are no mistakes. When your post is error-free, set it up in your blog and publish.
