About

I started photography at the end of the 3rd quarter in 2008 when I got my first DSLR. I do not have any photography experience prior to that except for occasionally using someone else’s point and shoot camera to take some photos or with my mobile phone.

Once it start, it never stopped. I find photography to be one of the most sophisticated art form and it has also taught me to be a better person. My passion starts from landscape photography, trying my best to capture breathtaking moments where I learn to be patient in waiting for the right time.

Then it moved to portraitures, both indoor and outdoor. I learn to appreciate human figure and postures. Expression is crucial and I do believe that a person’s eye does speak to the viewer.

My mindset is no longer what it was when I started out photography, photography is no longer just clicking the shutter button. It is an entire process to create a unique piece of artwork.

Almost a year, then I start getting demands for paid assignments. I am now experienced in Event, Pre-Wedding, Wedding Day, Model Portfolio, Portraiture (single/group), Commercial, Landscape and Interior Photography.

My work has been published in media such as TheStar, CloveTwo, Fashion Websites and several model portfolio websites.

I would like to take this opportunity to those who have taught and shared their knowledge with me. I hope I have shared some which is of help to you too. Without you guys, I wouldn’t have grown to be what I am today.
