C-H-A-N-G-E

... Change is nature; the part that we can influence and it starts when we decide ...
Remy, the little Chef, Ratatouille

Dear Friends,

Finally, I have got myself a blog. Special thanks to my very hardworking studio manageress; Jacqueline; who assisted me in setting up one and informed all my friends, former and current clients that JLP has finally got a blog!! Of course, she also "nagged" at me to quickly finish this write up to be posted in here.

Some of my friends commented earlier that I will never going to have a blog as I do not have the time to sit & write. So when they saw me in Facebook, they can't believe such luck to see me in there. They asked me for 4-digit number as it is as good as striking a lottery. Thanks to you all, I finally joined the club!

My desire for this blog is to be as informative and interactive as it can possibly be and not just babbling about my photography i.e. coming and past projects. You will find what is the latest event, updates, promotions schemes etc. at JLP. I would also like to take advantage of this blog to share about photography techniques, retouching and treatment of prints. All questions on such subjects are welcome and I'll be happy to answer.

As per my title, my motto for year 2009 is "CHANGE"! JLP has come a very long way i.e. since 1992 where my wife; Ning and I started a portrait photography business in a small town, Witney, 12 miles away from Oxford city; purely for the love of people photography.

Now, after three years of setting up our little studio in KL, we found our lives and soul in both fine art wedding and portrait photography. Thanks very much to our ever supportive clients (current & former) who are residence all over the globe.

We have also evolved from a husband and wife venture to a current team of seven. We are focused and continue to research on our existing and future products to offer to our ever supportive clients. We vow to continue to improve our quality of services, final and finished presentations in albums, framing and prints finishing so we can serve you better. Not forgetting our photographic styles to cope with ever changing preferences and demands from our clients. Therefore, it really called for CHANGE(S)!!

I always believed that things will not stay and remain forever, especially in photography. The digital era has changed people's perception of photography. DSLR is a very affordable items now as compare to the analog era. More so, I met bride and groom's friends holding pro-cameras and lenses, that look even more professional than myself. This will definitely called for changes of skills and techniques that will differentiate us from them.

To date, we have changed all our framed portraits on our studio display wall to stylish and highly contemporary magazine presentations. I called them box frames with high gloss finishing on the prints. We love them and so does everyone who walks into the studio.

We have also changed our album sizes, album finishing and page layout designs to provide creative album finishing which our clients thoroughly deserved. We have employed new shooting techniques and style too, just to match the finishing requirement of the album, which called for more efficient and effective workflow, too.

These changes have improved the way we used to work and brought good to the business operations. We do hope to be able to deliver finished products to our Clients promptly. Given I am a person that gets bored easily & quickly, I need these changes to keep my passion and enthusiastic lively.

Greetings from JLP

Since this blog was set up a couple of weeks ago, we at JLP were brainstorming how should we approach it. At first, we thought of going through the stereotype way i.e. how do we begin and moving on from there yada yada yada ...

While the Master Photographer himself has yet to complete his assignment (gotten him to write the history of JLP), knowing that he has an exciting schedule, I thought probably we gotta have exception to the general rule of thumb.

So here is our first post to fill up the blank and hopefully won't leave it idle, too. Do stay tune for our update, coming promotions and many more.
