Testimonial: Celestina Tiew

It was a wonderful experience working with Samuel Tan . I felt comfortable working with him even though it was the first time i met him. It was more than a shoot as after the shoot, he brought me and my friend around Kuala Lumpur , and accompanied us throughout the day … A very helpful and great photographer to work with!?

Giving back to charity

I’ve started off photography as a hobby with my little Canon 450D just several years ago, and every dollar that I earn from photography since goes back into my new gear and even the studio now. Finally it’s time to give back to society, the one which have supported my hobby, dream and passion. Without people I cannot have done it.

We did a sale under my new studio and sold over RM 2700 for charity.

Thanks for your support.

Wow, 1 year!

Like the topic says, Wow! It’s been more than a year since I last posted. So much have changed. Some of you might have wondered where have I been with no new photos uploaded and all. I am very much still in the photography line. In this one year I have now created Virtigo Studio, a place where creative and photography enthusiast could hang out and do some fun projects together.

The studio might still not be in the awesome state that I hope for but it is currently equipped with some of the best equipments available. They’re mostly Profoto which I assume is quite good.

Right now I’m conducting customized and even personalized workshops for new people who are interested to learn and be good with studio lights, be it professionally or just as a hobby. The freedom to create in an enclosed environment is endless. For those who are interested, please do call me up with my contact details on the contact page.

In the past one year, I think I have matured in many ways. In term of my taste, technique and communication with people. I’ve travelled to many new places, met new people from all walks of life and I have took photos for many different event and nature of business. I hope, you do see the difference in my work and you will like it.

Peace and out.

Filed under: Blog — Tags: , , , , , , , — Samuel Tan @ 8:03 PM

I would like to thank the group EOS DSLR Malaysia for selecting me as their photographer of the month for the month of May 2010. What I really appreciate is to know that there are others who like my photos a lot. :) Cheers.

To be honest, I am not really brand oriented and join EOS because I currently use Canon. :) Nikon are good too and I used it several times (borrowed) in the past.

Hui Pin’s & Wye Kean Wedding Day

Wedding Day Kiss

Here are some photos of Hui Pin’s actual wedding day. The photoshoot started early at 7.30AM during the makeup session up till 2PM where it ended at the groom’s house after the tea ceremony. There’s too many photos to post, therefore I’ll just upload a few. I had a tiring night before as I was out on an event till pass midnight and forced myself out of the bed to get there early. I am glad I’m the 2nd person there after the makeup artist apart from her mom.

It was a tiring day but in the end it was fun. I hope you guys like the photos.
