Street Shooting & DSLR Market

During Mid-Autumn Festival, Oct 3, 2009, I traveled to Melaka, the World Heritage Site. I returned to Petaling Jaya on the same day, and reached home at 11.50pm. The next day, I had to wake up at 6.00am, as I would join a model shooting event. It was a busy weekend…

The model shooting took place on the bustling streets of Kuala Lumpur. A total of seven photographers took part, and we had three beautiful models…


Jenny…


Mei Yan…


Pei Pei…


And here is the group shot taken at the end of the shooting. One of the photographers had already left…

We know that Canon and Nikon are the Big 2 of DSLR market. Somehow, among the seven photographers who joined the street shooting, two were Sony users. Sony acquired the DSLR division of Konica Minolta several years back. Despite relatively new to the market, it is doing pretty well.

Canon and Nikon definitely need a push from their competitors. Olympus has partnered Panasonic and they target niche market. I hope Pentax can keep up with the race.

    How did you guys shoot in the busy street without passers-by gawking?

    Wouldn't it be better to shoot in a less busy location?

    Street photography indeed takes some time (and some guts!) to get used to.

    Sony would have been my second choice, I have heard good things about their cameras.

    I was quite closed to get a sony alpha for the DSLR but did not. Althought sony did offer many live feed and adjustable LCD but somehow I am quite old school. I hardly use livefeed for my shoot now. So far I never hire any model for outdoor shoot.

    Models need gut to pose on the street. For photographers it is easy.

    Just wondering, can passerbys just come in and take photos (without paying)?

    Juicy photos, as always! Jenny gets my vote.
