What does Photography means to Saiful Rizan

What does Photography means to Yipi Lai

i think i'm going to be honest, photography is one thing to prove to those who looked down to me before, and photography is a force that kept me going, moving forward to a life for my own. and in the same time, my works can be shown to others, to acknowledge my existence. and share my feelings.

What Does Photography means to you? by Ah Chai.

What does Photography means to you?

What it means to me is that… (1.) I’m Still Alive and still able to think “straight” (2.) It gives me the options on how/what to think. That is, before and after an “event” rather then to think what “people want”.

It’s about all the things that happened in my life, which makes my style of photography inconsistent and slowly evolve thru the years.

Can we recognize a good subject? composition?..etc. Certainly is about the development on how you “SEE”, it’s good to practice to “SEE” even without a camera in hand. But how about other people (that is not into Photography)? that so-called “ungifted eyes” but have the heart in Photography?

The important Question here… Do they willing to accept Photography as what it means to you?
