If you've read my blog, I'm a huge fan of film. I'm not a huge fan of digital photography. I always believe that a shot should be as real as possible, without any "touching up." Most digital photographers will take your picture, then touch up the exposure later in the computer. Sometimes they may fix your hair, put in a fake sunset, you name it.

Well, to me, any touchups is a form of cheating. If it's not real, then where's the skill of photography? As a wedding photographer, I am trying to glamourize the true moment of your wedding, not to make one up. So I will not snap a shot of film if there is a person in the background, put in a fake sunset, or if your hair is getting "wind-blown." I'm like a sniper, I only shoot when the shot is perfect. To me, accuracy counts. I get one shot to get it right.

Now this does not mean that I can't touch up photos. In fact, I'm probably one of the better digital artist on this island. People, companies, even non-profit organizations usually knock on my door to help them with their graphic design, or to restore their old photos. Here is one photo that I just recently restored to the best of my ability. Other labs told him that it was purely impossible to get any color or image out of it. I begged to differ.
