Portraits

Being a photographer, I am rarely in front of the lens, so naturally I have very few images of myself. Only after starting my own family have I begun to appreciate the value of good family portraits. Here’s a portrait of my daughter and myself at Kings Park, taken by my wife during our holiday [...]

Kaylee’s portrait session for her 2nd birthday was used to create a 2012 desktop calendar, which I also designed. This calendar was so well-received that all 500 copies were snapped up quickly.

To kickstart 2012, I have 2 awesome offers that will surely put a smile on your face. Here’s the first great deal! For every portrait session (pre-wedding or post-wedding) booked with me from today until 31st March 2012, I am offering FREE rental of 1 bridal gown (up to RM600 in value) from one of [...]

A pre-wedding portrait session with Sean and Grace at a remote little village somewhere near Rawang

Here’s Randy and Julyn’s relaxing post-wedding portrait session in Cameron Highlands

Jet and Chien’s portrait session started on a beautiful sunny morning. The weather forecast predicted continuous rain for the rest of the day, but God smiled upon us and granted us a rain-free day. If only the sky was clear enough for a sunset… but who’s complaining?

A recent portrait job required resourcefulness in using existing surroundings to my advantage. This series of portraits were taken for a company’s annual report. Without using any backdrop, I utilized the wallpaper in the boardroom and arranged my lighting setup within this very small patch of wallpaper background, and using the very limited space in [...]

A post-wedding portrait shoot for Shannon and Premela. Post-wedding or pre-wedding shoots are very much more relaxed than squeezing in a portrait shoot during the wedding day, and makes it possible to make a trip to somewhere off the beaten track.

Casey & Gloria’s pre-wedding portraits were decidedly unusual, as you can see from the first photo. Casey is a big Star Wars fan, so “the Force” was with us that day, as we managed to get some pretty decent shots even though it rained almost the whole day! We also put their ballroom dancing moves [...]

PHOTO FINISH is a major photographic exhibition showcasing a stunning and unrivalled collection of modern portraiture, a unique and stylish celebration befitting of the 150th running of the internationally renowned Melbourne Cup. The exhibition will be presented within the magnificent Atrium at Crown Melbourne to coincide with the 150th running of the Cup. For this [...]

Just got back from a wonderful portrait session with Kien and Pinar in Brisbane and Gold Coast, Australia. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts (your 2 friends and your mum included!), we had a lot of fun … I can’t wait to show you the photos, so here’s a small selection from the many [...]

Chris and Wan Sim were truly blessed with this one day when it didn’t rain, after two days of continuous heavy rain on Langkawi Island, and the rest of Malaysia for that matter. The overcast sky became one big giant softbox, perfect for their pre-wedding portraits. This was also the first time I worked alongside [...]

I’m trying something new for a change… this time it’s having fun with dramatic lighting. It’s good to break away from our usual style every now and then, to discover new things about the way we work, and to supplement our existing skillsets. It’s a bit like cross-training… a multi sport athlete tends to be [...]

Once in a while comes along a portrait request that’s delightfully refreshing. Evelyn wanted something that was a little surreal, a little magical… so we ended up with this series, which was entirely shot outdoors on-location. I prefer on-location shoots over studio shoots anytime.

Here are some portraits from an amazing and at times hilarious pre-wedding session with a very enthusiastic and adventurous Lionel and Shea-Fee. These will be developed into a very interesting slideshow with a storyline later… stay tuned for the slideshow!

and here’s a slideshow montage:

Leslie & Angeline’s portrait session

Trying out some experimental processing for Clarence and Ping’s recent prewedding portrait session.

It’s not often that I do pre-wedding sessions, as the bulk of my work is photographing the wedding day, so I welcomed the opportunity to do one for Elaine and Hean Kiat.
