Photography has changed my life.
I didn’t grow up in a well-to-do family. We were not poor but certainly not rich as well. It was a typical middle-class family with my dad working overseas for many many years just to be able to provide us with decent education and a decent home. While being born rich is not a sure ticket to success, being born anything less than that surely diminishes the odds. After studying I worked and studied again and worked while studying only to find that initial push with photography. I decided to be a full-time wedding photographer because back then I would need to work 10 years as a Senior Finance Analyst in order to make the one-year worth of booking I already had. It wasn’t really a hard decision.
I embraced the art as it has embraced me. It’s hard to believe that through it I am able to take my family to trips across the world – something I only dream of before even as an adult. It was a life-changing experience to be able to spend all those times together with my family and as priceless as the memories are, I relied again to photography to keep those moments even more priceless.
So I hope you all don’t mind, and more so, enjoy and take inspiration with all these family photos that me and my family worked for and immensely enjoyed. I may not afford the most luxurious of things for them yet (or even ever), but at least I can give the most distinct of vacation photographs.
Wow what a lovely family. Almost like a royal fam.
Your truly artistic Metrophoto
thank you always brother! :)
I hope someday I will have an opportunity to have you take our family pictures. You are truly gifted and demonstrate so much passion and pride in what you do. My wife and I hope to meet you when we go home this October. My wife and I always believed that pictures are the best chronicles of one’s lives. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much Danny and Edna, I appreciate the very kind words :) Looking forward to meeting you :)
Hi, great shots! How did you do it? Was there someone else taking the family photo? Or you did it by via camera timer?
Hi Benj! camera was set on a tripod. Then we used a camera app to trigger it :) Thanks for the comment :)
Great photos! It truly captures the joy and beauty of the moment!
I had the same Qs as Benj. Did you use a tripod and timer or was there someone taking the photos of you and your family?
May I know what camera was used? Thanks.
I used a Canon EOS Mark 3 for all the shots :) See my reply to Benj below. Thanks Tessa :)
