Jurufoto Franklin Balzan

—Adakah anda seorang yang fotogenik?

—I wouldn't say so. I am usually the one behind the camera and do not enjoy being seen to much.

—It was a natural evolution... I love street photography, fashion and portrait and therefore love shooting wedding photography in my artsy-journalistic style.

—Apakah komponen paling penting sekeping foto yang bagus menurut pendapat anda?

—Especially for wedding photography, certainly the photo must convey emotion and have a story to tell. Apart from these two aspects then, there are also the technical aspects such as lighting and composition.

—Ohh yes :)

—Apakah yang paling anda sukai mengenai kerjaya anda?

—Apakah masa depan fotografi?

—Apakah yang istimewa dalam genre fotografi yang anda sedang mengkhusus?

—Emotions and the once in a lifetime event, which everyone has been preparing so much to.

—The artistic style of the photo – colour, tone, framing.

—Apakah perkara yang patut dielakkan semasa penggambaran?
