Inspired, Challenged and Humbled – A meeting with Louis Pang

Hello.

The main objective of coming to Sabah was to meet up with Louis Pang and get inspired again and again. After the workshop back in February, Amru & I booked a flight ticket to Sabah immediately so that we will not waste any more of our time in wanting to learn more and more from the master himself.

Today, we got to meet up with Louis and had an inspiring and humbling 3-hour mentoring session.

We talked about the goals that both of us had set forward during his class, what have we achieved up to now and what’s next. We had Louis go through our Irwin & Vanessa’s Pre Wedding photos – and we were humbled by his comments. We met with the rest of the team and had a closer look at WPPI 2008 Book which had us bubbling with inspiration! We flipped through Yervant’s book and watch the Yervant’s studio tour video. And most important of all, we talked through the next logical steps for both Amru & I.

It was an inspiring meeting. I personally now know that I can achieve the goals I have set upon myself. And I now believe that I am on the right track. And all the corrections that I have made last month was the right decision.

And what’s next? Amru & I are planning to attend the WPPI Convention in Las Vegas next year. So we have to sort out few things in the coming months – Visa, money, tickets etc.

And we have made a commitment to ourselves – to continue to produce timeless pieces that we can be proud of. And of course, these pieces will need to be vetted by the master himself!

All in all, I am now more inspired! Like they say -

Flight ticket to Kota Kinabalu – RM110.
Accommodation, F&B and travel – RM300.
Meeting with Louis Pang – Priceless.

Irwin Oh - Nice one guys.keep up the good work! was a remarkable experience working with you all...the best part was that everyone had a role to play to create the shots! (Even Lee Kuen the makeup artist was behind the camera haha), which really made it enjoyable. i wished i could equally be doing some serious photography and be inspired at the same time as you guys!...maybe after my wedding...hehe..April 9, 2009 - 5:24 pm

paul - Hey, Hafiz, dun forget me whenu get famous!! then it's ur time to mentoring me!!!, all teh best!April 9, 2009 - 6:18 pm

Louis - Hi Hafiz, it was great to catch up with you and Amru. I am no master, honestly. When I see the great works of other photographers on the wall of WPPI, I see the next peak I wanna climb. I would rather be a lifelong amateur who is always eager to learn than a master who had reached his pinnacle. If you are on the top, the only place to go is down the slope! I enjoy spending time with you and other photographers who wanna better themselves. That is the spirit I respect and love. Believe me, not many people do what you did today.April 9, 2009 - 11:34 pm

Hafiz Ismail - Hi Louis. Thanks for spending your precious time with us. You are a master in my book! Thanks again!April 9, 2009 - 11:55 pm

steph - you go hafiz and amru! always believed you guys are fantastic, and you prove it with every shoot. keep up the passion, and the wonderfully funny (extremely humble) attitudes.April 10, 2009 - 5:43 pm
