Portrait Session: Kenneth H. Han (Attorney at Law) @ Studio
Lee, Han & Pacciocco, LLP - www.lhplaw.com
I'm sure many photographers will agree with me. In portrait photography, it's always challenging to bring out the true self of the person being photographed. If there's a close relationship between the photographer and the person in front of the camera, then it may be little easier and helpful to encounter the off-guard and natural characteristics or expressions. However when you know that you're being photographed and aware of the big camera pointing directly at you and professional studio lights flashing and beeping constantly, you can't help to hide or shy away from being true you. I know this. Everyone knows this. So what's my tactic? What's my challenge to bring out to true self in that person? Very simple but very hard for some people. As a photographer, I try to be "True Me" first and then try to build friendly relationship within that short amount of time. From the initial consultation meeting to the actual shooting day. The given time seems always short and not enough to build up a friendly and off-guard relationship. However, you don't even have time for complaining... You just have to go with it and not trying your best per se but just being genuine and positive is the key to successful and natural looking portraiture session. In addition, I give a lot of heartfelt and good compliments on their looks, poses, hairs and anything relating to the client or the person being photographed. They will surely smile back at you and thankful to be acknowledged. The photography isn't only about owning good and expensive gears and taking beautiful pictures. It must require communicating and good people skills AND easy going and fun attitude towards the subject. This is my take on photography. It ALL boils down to what's in your HEART.

Unique Sarah
Photography by Richard Min
The floral arrangements by Unique Sarah were very different from others. I like the way she used the dead and dried tree branches with a combination of lively and vivid flowers. What a contrast! "Dead" and "Alive" come together to make a new earthly creation. "Zen" like Minimalist appeal but sophisticated and elegant look is what Sarah was aiming for and I did the same approach in photography by using neutral color backgrounds and minimizing clutters in the composition and simple and soft side-lit lighting. Sarah's design and arrangement were truly unique!

Tote bag design by Richard Min
Hello everyone! I am so proud and excited to present my client's new tote bag..!! All your precious albums and unique products will be handed to you in this elegant & stylish and practical & reusable TOTE BAG. I put my soul and heart into these bags. The "Earth Green" tone represents the earth and its nature created by our Father God. Isn't HE wonderful and amazing..!? Everything from studio/gallery banner, concrete floor to stationery envelopes, all are in "Earth Green" tones. Also if you look closely to the titles and letterings on my blog page, they are in the same green tones as well. I would love to see my clients doing their grocery shopping or any kind of shopping activities with this bag. Who knows..? It can also be used as a diaper bag for the brides who just became mothers. Endless possibilities... Please enjoy and reuse it..! It's from my heart.

Photography/Graphic Design by Richard Min
Love is patient,
love is kind.
It does not envy,
it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude,
it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
The "Bride & Groom" T-shirts will be given out to first 12 assigned couples. These words from 1 Corinthians Chapter 13 are my encouragements and blessings to couples who are starting a new family in Christ Jesus. I sincerely wish they will cherish the images I captured on their special day for a long time. As the love deepens with time, also as the love faces the challenges and struggles, I want to provide the Bride & Groom a chance to remember how their first love was celebrated and blessed by family, friends and loved ones when they look at their blissful and poetic wedding day images by min.

IMAGES BY MIN_Business Cards
Photography/Graphic Design by Richard Min
These are all custom hand-made business cards..!!
I put my heart and soul into each single card. The front side layout looks exactly the same as the other cards but the back side is unique. 120/220 format b&w negatives were used. The look and feel of abstract art was what i was going for in the design. I really enjoy using the negative space in graphic design layouts and photographic compositions. Also, I really wanted to impress my clients with my craftsmanship, detail-oriented style, and artistic & creative approach in my profession. Every couple is unique and unique images are what each couple will receive from my passion and talents..!!! This was the main concept behind my business cards.
