I was invited by my colleague, Nalinder, to attend the Grand Finale of the Maybelline Simply Fabulous event at Euphoria, MOS in Sunway. So glad that I was there to take pictures for this event especially when she won RM50,000 grand prize! Congrats Nalin!

This is my first time attending a TV pre-recorded event. I really like the ambience. I think 8TV did a very good job coming up with this concept.

This event was hosted by uprising host Henry Golding & Sarah Lian

Here are the judges. Just know the lady 2nd from left – Sazzy Falak

Team Outing @ Bukit Tinggi

Just want to share some pictures taken during our team outing that was held in August. The trip was a memorable one and full of laughter. Thank God for the perfect weather, Caryn (my lovely wife) for being my best company always, George for the awesome BBQ pork, and Li Ean for your excellent scavenger […]

Thank God for the perfect weather, Caryn (my lovely wife) for being my best company always, George for the awesome BBQ pork, and Li Ean for your excellent scavenger hunt clues!

You will notice a few photo that looks like HDR but they are not really because I didn’t use any HDR techniques to process them. All I did was just some slider adjustment in Lightroom and the finished product reminds of of Dave Hill. Yes, I think they are more like Dave Hill style. I recommend you check out his website if you haven’t seen his photos.

Covering Corporate Event

2 weeks ago I attended a corporate meeting where someone would give a presentation, whether you like it or not.  The content was great so don’t get me wrong.  😉 I brought my camera gear that day so I decided to take a few pics of the enthusiastic speaker. But the ambience was pretty dark […]

2 weeks ago I attended a corporate meeting where someone would give a presentation, whether you like it or not.  The content was great so don’t get me wrong.  😉 I brought my camera gear that day so I decided to take a few pics of the enthusiastic speaker. But the ambience was pretty dark and the place has a low ceiling. Mounting my Sony F58 flash on my camera and shoot direct would be too harsh on my subject. Bounce the flash up on low ceiling won’t spread the light evenly. He was standing right in between 2 pillars so I clipped one flash with Justin clamp on each side, facing the speaker and started shooting. Kinda enjoying myself. Now call me the self-appointed unofficial corporate event photographer, in strobist style!

My good friend, Adrian who is also a keen photographer, took this to try out my setup.

I did a pre wedding shoot again last Saturday! What makes the difference is that that this time I’m the photographer. It was a tiring day for me, but I think the couple were more exhausted as I know how it feels like being the model after gone thru my own wedding. Kin Wai made a request that he wants something different from the usual prewedding photos.  The outcome is quite pleasing in the end though I wish I could do better. Here is the preview (more like a teaser) while I’m still doing the editing work.

Guess what. It took me almost 1 year to setup my blog. Not that I don’t know how to do it but I just keep procrastinating. Till recently I realise there are so many photos just sitting on my computer and yet very few is shared out for viewing. I thought if I keep taking pictures but not sharing, what’s the point? So I finally start blogging. hehe.

Since i’m a strobist fan, let me begin with this picture.
