Beautiful travel pictures from Vietnam and Cambodia to be slowly released - Los Angeles Photographer

OK, I'd have to admit that I'm a little behind on posting pictures.  The truth is, as many of us are familiar with the moment of clicking the shutter, the pictures taken usually go through a digital processing that, in my opinion, takes much longer time than the time of photo shoot.  Plus, the end results are an art, the generation process of which is not anywhere near the ones that involve 1+1 = 2. So anyway, this sort of explains why my travel photos have a lagging time while I'm painstakingly working on each individual for a way of presentation/expression that I feel good at the time.  And all this is going on while I have the clients' pictures in the "front burner".  If you haven't figured out that I'm the type of photographer that falls in love with her clients' photos before the client even has a peek, you'd know that I go through the same "perfectionist" type of process with my client work.

So, finally, I feel good about releasing one picture from my Vietnam and Cambodia trip.  While I'm in the process of making a book with the incredible scenery, history, culture and people of these countries, I will make a calendar with a selective few.  And I think that this picture will make the final cut.  What do you think?

P.S. Any image in the Fine Art Photography category can be purchased to adorn your beautiful home.  Please contact me for sizes and presentation options.  Many easy to install solutions to be recommended.

The Cutest Kids in Halloween Costumes Contest is going on - Los Angeles Children's Photographer

Everything has been reminding me that fall is undeniably with us and yellow, red and brown will soon be the prevalent colors.  As my eyes moved near the bottom of the calendar, I know it's the spooky time of the year again.  So, it will only be fitting to "update" the color them of this website immediately.

The other day, I had a photo shoot at a pumpkin patch and loved, loved, loved the atmosphere and had fun.  The chill in the area helped my head think up a fun and impromptu idea.  Why not have a contest of pictures of the kids in Halloween costumes?

Jean Huang Photography is featured on Examiner.com - Los Angeles Photographer

Let's face it.  When I made the big transition to do photography on a commercial level (vs. a hobby and vs. continuing on the corporate path), I did not plan on this day.  It was simply a pursuit of a passion, a passion to bring and share joy and beauty, a passion to connect with people and make a positive impact to their lives.  And then, this opportunity came along for the business to be featured in Examiner.  So I don't need to tell you how excited I am to see it being published, the philosophy behind this business.

It's still true that it's a business.  Even non-profits need to balance their budgets.  And I need to support myself.  But I also hope that there's more to the business transactions, that there is a human side.

Well, let me step off the soap box so you can read for your own:
