Well, I had a great time listening to the speakers. It's just an inspiring moment just listening to them sharing their experiences, and some tips and tricks of the trade. Here's some summary of what I got from the speakers.
Din Arshad (Advertising) - Communication and Direction
You want your shot? Talk to your subject. Even the most experienced models would not know what you think unless you tell them. Knowing what you want for your shot is one of the most important thing for a photographer. Heh... (note to self: talk more weih...)
Shamsarin Shamsudin (Photojournalism) - 5W and 1H
What, When, Where, Who, Why and How...know what is the story behind the pictures you're taking. And be prepared with all the necessary gears, even if it doesn't seem remotely important - e.g. between getting yourself or the camera wet, what would be your decision? Heh... (note to self: love thy camera, dude...)
Bustmamam Mokhtar (Fashion) : Lights!
Get your lights right, you want to show the beauty of your shots, you have to light up your subjects. Although some art directors like a shadow here and there, but lighting is the most important thing to get right before you click to take the picture. (note to self: read more on lights!)
Ikram Ismail (Wedding) : Get that moment
You have got to capture that moment. People spend thousands on the wedding, and it's a precious moment. Your job is to capture it and immortalize it forever. Do that right, and your clients will not be only be grateful to you, they don't mind paying you thousands as well! (kehkehkeh...) And when all else fails...go B&W! (note to self: practice, practice, practice)
