Click*Syndicate Kembali.. Intan & Fairuz Part #1
Assalammualaikum dan salam sejahtera buat semua pengunjung setia Click*Syndicate | The Blog ni.. Pheww.. Dah berapa lama saya tak sempat nak update blog ni dan terbiar bersawang.. Maafkan saya guys and girls..! Semenjak dua menjak ni macam-macam perihal isu-isu berbangkit terjadi.. Baik pada keluarga saya sendiri dan juga pada hala tuju Click*Syndicate photography. Kesihatan kedua orang tua saya (Mak dan Abah) berada ditahap yang agak merisaukan, (at least untuk seorang anak sulung seperti saya, ianya merisaukan). Bila tubuh tua mereka semakin dimamah usia dan kesihatan yang semakin meruncing, saya jadi terpana dan pilu. Segala usaha saya untuk menjaga dan berikhtiar berubat buat mereka bercampur aduk dengan bebanan kerja yang ditanggung.. Saya tidak merungut langsung, hanya sekadar mahu berkongsi kisah suka duka saya selama ini..
Click*Syndicate kini bukan lagi sebuah organisasi seperti mana ianya dahulu. Organisasi yang saya maksudkan ialah begini: Sebelum ini, Click*Syndicate adalah ramai.. Terdiri dari beberapa jurugambar professional dan separa profesional di bawah satu nama iaitu Click*Syndicate Photography.. Kini, Click*Syndicate hanyalah saya seorang.. Click*Syndicate ialah Farul Azri dan Farul Azri ialah Click*Syndicate. Tiada lagi Abu Bakar Fahmi a.k.a Enche Burn dan juga Daniel Malek atau Danny Malek dan juga tiada lagi mana-mana photographer yang bersama Click*Syndicate melainkan saya seorang.. Apa yang ada hanyalah mana-mana photographer profesional dan separa profesional yang akan ‘tag-along’ bersama saya dalam assignment assignment akan datang.. Tidak timbul langsung isu-isu seperti photographer bermasam muka sesama sendiri atau sebagainya.. Saya sebagai Principal Photographer telah menyediakan wadah dan juga ruang ilmu bagi mereka-mereka ini belajar dari pengalaman yang ingin saya taburkan secara percuma yang telah lebih 10 tahun saya kutip dalam kerja-kerja mengambil gambar (cuma setahun kebelakangan ini saya kembali aktif setelah diam bertahun lama) tapi atas alasan-alasan mereka sendiri yang tidak mahu (mungkin ego) belajar, maka apa daya saya lagi.. Saya hanya mampu doakan yang terbaik buat mereka semua.. Amin dan inshaallah..
Buat Mak dan Abah, inshaallah.. Kesihatan yang baik masih ada buat kalian.. Buat Mak, Selamat Hari Ibu pada tanggal Mei 8 yang lepas dan buat Abah, Selamat Hari Bapa yang akan datang bulan depan.. Buat semua pengunjung The Blog ini, maafkan saya kerana dah lama tak update apa-apa gambar ataupun info terbaru, so bersama posting kali ini saya sertakan gambar-gambar sekitar majlis resepsi Intan & Fairuz di Taiping, Perak bersama rakan photographer saya Enche Hasbullah Hashim atau lebih glamer dengan nama Pak Lah The Pegawai Uganda.. Hehehe..
Gambar-gambar majlis ini akan saya bahagikan dalam 3 bahagian; #1 – Make up, #2 – Majlis Resepsi dan #3 – Outdoor.. So, guys and girls, keep on visiting okay.. Saya akan kembali aktif mengemaskini The Blog untuk tatapan anda semua.. Inshaallah..!
Wassalam

Night Photography
Everybody started somewhere in their life journey or career. Same goes to me.. I started photography in the year 1996 when I was a photography and advertising student to Radzi Omar, one of the very first Malaysian Malay to shoot with National Geographic Magazine. My first love in photography was ‘night photography’! I was just equipped with my long gone Nikon FM2 and F70 35mm SLR (Single-Lens Reflex) film camera which I bought from my senior student, Liza.
Why night photography? Because I just love watching the stars. Night photography can make the stars look twirling around our planet earth and at the same time, I know that our earth was spinning fast actually but the gravity makes us ‘forget’ about that. LOL!
Here are some of the photo collection that I’ve snapped recently on my holiday that run berserk that I’ve post earlier.. Anyway, enjoy these photos..

Shit Happen and Damn Snatchers..! – Kisah Rompakan
On my earlier post, I’ve mentioned that I wanted to take a holiday on Chinese New Year, and so did I and I was all alone… Today, I just came back from my holiday that supposed to be only a 3 days escapism from work loads, Kuala Lumpur noise and such. I went to the nearest island from KL which is Pangkor in Lumut, Perak. The 3 days holiday turned to be a 5 days holiday for me. Why? Because I was being robbed while I was there in Teluk Nipah with nothing left on me except my wet cloths.. Nothing.. Not even a single cent in my pockets..
That night, I was out alone for a night photography session at the beach. As I place my camera and tripod at the beach, I lay down my body on the golden sand and watch the stars spreading the night skies of Pulau Pangkor. I place my Targus backpack at the side of the tripod and camera. Everything was fine until I hear a very slow sounds of movement of a person at 3 meters from the place I was laying down. I quickly pick up my torch light and flash out for my camera and luckily it was still there but then only I’d realized that my backpack was already gone. During that time as well, I saw one guy holding something black (like my backpack) moving slowly not far from the place where I stood. I then quickly grasp my tripod and camera and start running chasing that guy!
How fast can you run on a sandy beach and in total dark? My answer is, NOT THAT FAST! I stumble upon my foot step and when I look up, that guy has disappeared in that total dark.. I started searching and asking everyone that I saw along the beach, but all of the answer i received was no.. “Sorry la abang, kita orang tak nampak siapa-siapa pun.. Kalau kita orang nampak, kita orang janji untuk tangkap dan pukul ramai-ramai..!” Then I stop for a while to catch my breath.. I swear to God, if I ever find or met this guy again, he’ll be in deep trouble. He was messing with the wrong person. I started to hold my fist at this time..
Here is what I’ve lost in that incident. (And if you guys out there came across anyone who are selling the similar things like mine, please personally contact me):
- Targus backpack for Apple MacBook Pro 17″
- 1 unit of Nikkor 50mm f1.8D lens (serial # 0988050)
- 1 unit of Nikon SB-600 Flash unit (serial # 2937974)
- 4 pieces of Phottix PT-04 flash wireless trigger
- 1 piece of 85w Apple MacBook Pro MagSafe Power Adapter and AC power cord
- 1 piece of original Nikon Transfer Cable
- 1 imported book (A History of God – by Karen Armstrong)
- Topman Leather Wallet
- National Identity Registration Card
- National Valid Driving Lincese
- 2 ATM cards
- 2 credit cards (Mastercard & Visa)
- Money in that wallet
- My cellphone (and all of my contact numbers – including your numbers)
- My condominium access card
- My house keys
- My car keys
- My friend car keys (Honda Civic FD2 – That cost me RM2300 later for the replacement unit – I am still wondering why I had his car keys in my backpack).
- 4 pieces of Panasonic HHR-3SPT AA rechargeable batteries up to 2,400 mAh (Use for speedlight).
- Velbon Tripod Bag (Made in UK).
- Click*Syndicate’s photographers name cards.
- … And a few more items that I can’t think off right now.
As a result, I was wandering around lost for two bloody days around Lumut Jetty with policeman with no money not even a single cents, no credit cards nor ATM cards to withdraw money, no phone and numbers to make calls (I am very bad at remembering numbers), no food nor drinks (except for mineral waters that I bought the night before the incidents) until a guy came and help me who is happen to be a student of University Technology Petronas (UTP).. Only God can pay you back dude! Thanks Khairul Anuar.. I will greatly remember you forever..! My estimated lost in total was around RM4,000 – 5,000 and that is lots of money..! Arghhhh…
If you guys came across somebody or someone selling those lens and speedlight units with the given serial number that I’ve stated above, please do contact me at +(6) 03 6141 7702 (Click*Syndicate’s office). For the time being, I have no cellphone but I can still be reach at the number given around office hour from 9am – 5pm.
My future clients and ex-clients that hasn’t collect your wedding album please as well contact me through that number or my emails at: farulazri@click-syndicate.com
For those who’ve send me email before, I will reply your emails as soon as possible once I’ve settle every documentation on this case. And to those who’ve send me text sms on my cell phone before, I will announce my new number soon (or much probably the old one) in this very blog and please do send your text sms again later.
Have a nice day everyone, and be very careful on those damn snatchers around us. Shit do happen.. Once in a while!

Tone Mapped Photos For Wedding?
By the time I’m writing this, I’m sitting alone at Starbucks Coffee in Pavilion, Bukit Bintang. Enjoying my cup of Javachip Coffee with whipped cream.. Yummy..! I dunno what happen to me for the past 2-3 days.. But one thing that I know, I love to be alone for the time being. Looking at these people walking, passing by this very aisle of Pavvy makes me felt so much refreshing and relax. By the end of this week, I’m gonna take a 3-4 days off to my secret hideout place.. Where else beside my favorite sandy beach? I need a time off.. Seriously..
Kuala Lumpur is such a nice place to live in or to work. But too much of Kuala Lumpur makes me sick. The noise, the people, all those ‘mat rempit’ stuff, the crime and everything.. They’re all just cause me pain in the head.. (now I sound old).. LOL..
Ok guys and girls.. Let’s just go straight to the topic before I can have my holiday soon.
After I’ve posted Gia portfolios in HDR photos, I’ve been asked by a few people on what I think about tone mapped / HDR effects on wedding photography? So here’s my answer.. I’m not a big fan of HDR photography actually. HDR for me, is very useful in landscape or architectures photo and such. But when it come to a wedding photography, I give it 50-50. If requested by the clients, I’d say why not? But please bear in mind, that not all of your wedding clients love HDR effects. Some of them don’t even know what the heck is HDR. (Read until the end of this article, And you’ll know what is HDR). To make a HDR look image, the post-processor / designer (in this case, it’s me) will need lot’s of time and lot’s of coffee! It is a very much time consuming thingy for most of the post-processors / the designers. So to clients, please be very careful if you want to request this kind of image. Because of it’s time consuming ‘nature’, I’m afraid that your wedding album will be delivered late.. LOL.. Unless the ‘makers’ are all big names and well known photographers such as Syahrin Aziz and such, then you can rely on them!
Wedding is always a ‘one-day-off’ events and you can’t reverse it back. What you saw right in front of your eyes will only happen once (most of the time) and then you can only pray hard for the same incident or moment to happen again. This is why I’ve trained all of my photographers to have eye like an eagle.. LOL.. Normally for wedding photographers, they’ll shoot in Jpeg format. But for me, I’ll shoot the make up sessions and some of the events of wedding in RAW format (the rest is in Jpeg). Why RAW? This is because all of the originality (colors, tone, white balance and such) is still in it ‘uncompressed’ state. And at this stage, you’ll need a RAW file format to turn it into a HDR photo at later post-processing stage. (Jpeg can’t be processed into HDR since it’s already being compressed).
Original HDR photos need at least 3 RAW exposures to make it beautifully rendered. But through 1 RAW file it is also can still be use for HDR conversion (except it wont be regards as ‘original HDR’.. LOL). Now, HDR and tone mapped is the same techniques if you don’t know..
So, with this article I’ve added some of my previous photos that I’ve converted to HDR / Tone Mapped… So tell me what do you think? LOL
Now I can have my holiday..! Yay!

Liza & Kamila – The Morning Blues
Waking up in the morning was everyone’s turned off especially on Monday and when you got tons of work waiting for you in the office. But it’s not for me. I personally felt very fresh every time I woke up in the morning. It’s a kind of ecstasy to me. A fresh new beginning to start my day.. But what could be all man’s wet dream..? Waking up with two beauties on your bed side..
But don’t get me wrong. I never had these dream come true.. I wish I could.. LOL. I was there (of course it was not my bed) to shoot this two lovely ladies for their modeling portfolio. Among many normal pose and shoot out, I personally came up with this idea of this ‘early morning thingy’.. Now this is what Click*Syndicate could offer to our clients.. A fresh new ideas for each and every of your photoshoot..!
Enjoy Liza and Kamila.. :D
Sekali Terjumpa Video Lama La Pulak…
Petang tadi sewaktu aku mengemas internal dan external hard disk kat komputer aku ni, tiba-tiba terjumpa beberapa clip video lama yang aku rakam masa ‘farewell party-lah-sangat’ waktu aku resign dari Berita Harian, New Straits Times Press Berhad. Serius aku dah lupa langsung fasal video ni sebab terlalu sibuk dengan urusan aku yang sekarang ni dah full time buat photography dengan Click*Syndicate.. Bila aku view balik satu-satu clip video ni, terus tangan gatal nak buat post-produstion dan editing.. Hihi.. Teringat la pulak kat budak-budak nih semua.. Haha.. Layan kan aje ok.. Sajossss…!
:D
Nazrul + Gucci
Another assignment for our principal, Farul Azri over the weekend was to shoot this male model, Nazrul or better known as Bob for his personal portfolios. There were tons of photos of him but we have to be very selective since it contains nudity and er.. Erotic photos? Hahaha. So we guess it can’t be publish in here since Click*Syndicate The Blog is kinda open to everyone.. Kena ada lembaga penapisan maaa… Haha..
By the way, in these photo shoot, Farul have tried to implement his idea over lighting in photography and guess what, he just used one single lighting for strobing with a few filter being attached. They shoot in dark and here are the end result. There not much of post processing involved in the whole process..
Enjoy Bob and Gucci!
Thareq & Nurul Ayu Pre Wedding
Yesterday was a very joyful and adventurous day for both of our photographers, Farul Azri and Abu Bakar Fahmi or better known as Burn.

Thareq and Nurul Ayu was very sporting and helpful throughout the entire photo shoot process and we was very happy to be working with them!
