TRAVEL AND PHOTOGRAPHY | COLOURFUL OF THAIPUSAM

© 2014 Mohd Fakhrul Islam | Kuala Lumpur | Thaipusam Celebration | Batu Cave

On Jan 17, the profile name Man Namblast posted a racially insulting remark over a picture of Hindu devotees walking up the Batu Caves stairs to perform their prayers during Thaipusam.

I want to share my experience about cover this Thaipusam festive. Actually this is my first time and I quite nervous because here the crowd like I never imagined before. 

Like other photographer said,before we go to new place we must know and study the surrounding how,where,why, and other else, so  we can deliver what type of image that we want to show to the people out there.

I was study as much as I can before I went here. I was do a lot of research about other photo in google, page, facebook,flickr and other social media. This is because I can imagine as much as I can about this place even though never been there once.

To be a good photojournalist and good in journalism is not as easy like said in word. To make a very meaningful picture for other people to feel like the were there was really hard. To deliver what we want to people out there know the situation is ONE of the hardest thing for every photojournalist. But I believe ever photojournalist that they already try their best to give to the people out there to understand what they want to show.

I don't want to talk more about this because I will create new entry to discuss about this thing that will know how photojournalist work and also their flow. :) I love what I do right now right here.
