Nazra Zahri's photostream
|
My background:
A Malaysian married to a Japanese. Currently making a living as an English Instructor in Okayama, Japan with my husband and my four kitty cats - Chum, Lily, Mel, and Milo.
How long am I going to stay here? Forever? Nah. But I did get Permanent Residency. Just in case I change my mind.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
My gear:
I mostly use Nikon D700, SB600, Nikkor lenses, and sometimes my Cheki. Recently, I just got the Olympus Pen E-PL1 as my 32nd birthday gift from my husband.
My dream is to become a professional photographer one day. :) Or to at least find a job where I can get proper education and lots of experience to improve myself.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
What I think of photography:
Honestly speaking, I don't believe in too much of post-work editing on Photoshop etc. Getting rid of blemishes is fine but when there's just too much effort put on making someone look thinner or with bigger eyes, that sort of thing, sometimes I think it's just like turning a human being into a cartoon character. I do love effects, by the way. ;)
Whatever it is, it all depends on how you define what beauty is, what art is, what a good photo is.
This is just like religion, you can't force anyone to believe in yours and it is every single person's freedom to choose whatever they like.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Your honest comments AND constructive critiques are very much appreciated.
And one more thing, please do not use my photos without my permission. However, you may purchase them through Getty Images. Thank you.

"as a photog, Nazra! took my engagement, wedding and some personal potraits. i think she has a great eye for composition and framing the picture as almost all her photos did not need much cropping after.
she also captured some great candids (mad ninja skills from living in japan). she is really easy to work with. she processes the pictures fast (taking in the fact that she has so many shoots and her other job as well).
as a friend, i think she is a very giving person and has a great personality.
I wish you nothing but the best in pursuing photography and you dreams! XOXO!"19th July, 2009

"Sooo I've known Naz! (I always add the exclamation mark, hehe) for a while it seems on flickr. Over time we've become better flickr friends, and have been getting to know each other through our work. I love her variety of images, and processing style. She doesn't do things a conventional way, and it's always so nice to see a change. There's been times when she's gone missing from flickr, and i've missed her uploads and comments on my stream. She is constructive with images, and I really appreciate her advice, tips, likes and dislikes with my photos. It's nice to have a flickr friend that is like that, and also doesn't take things too the heart when it's the other way around. It shows realness, and that's definitely what Naz! is ;) Real. And I'm grateful for that ;D I'm so glad we're flickr friends.. and you know.. one day... I'll be visiting Japan, so we'll definitely be in touch! Thanks for being a top notch flickr friend Naz! I always look forward to your new uploads ;) x"
