potraiture

The sun itself, as seen on earth and its'
relationship with mankind, has been the subject
of countless primitive recordings and works of
art since the beginning of recorded history,
and now in the form modern photographs.

Over the years, portrait photographers have given names
to various lighting patterns as they appear on the face of the
subject.

Some of theses lighting forms are named
for famous masters such as Rembrandt
because early photographic portraitists who
were artists by training, were influenced by
the work of the old masters and sought to
emulate their usage of light.

It became evident to theses pioneers of
photographic portraiture that these lighting
patterns would lend a valid likeness to their
photographs.

The Malay Weddings

The Malay traditional wedding institution holds a very sacred
position in Malay society.

Upon finding a suitable candidate, the boy's parents will dispatch
a fact-finding mission comprising close family friends to meet
the girl herself and to learn more about her.

Once both parties are agreeable, an engagement ring is placed
on the girl’s finger.The wedding date is normally fixed between
six months to two years after the engagement.

At this stage, the two families discuss the amount of gift money to be
paid by the bridegroom, and also the gift items to be brought along on
the wedding day.

Then, for the next one month or so, the couple will be invited
for meals at one house after another in order to usher them
into the married community.


However, the modern trend is
to immediately go on honeymoon, postponing the
socializing rites for later.
