Home Decor Shoot

Monday, January 12th, 2009

I was invited to do a new house shoot for Melvin and Wei Chin and their love nest is really nice and comfortable. (Thanks to Aylwin for giving me this opportunity.) It was well renovated and gave me lots of inspiration and ideas about how I can do mine in time to come. I always feel home is the most important place where we rest after a hard day’s work and I place quite a lot of emphasis making sure it is kept clean and tidy.


This corner is really nice. I wish my new place at Jade Spring will allow me a corner like this to laze around.


I’m so fascinated by this Lord of the Ring chess set. It was so elegant and classy and placing it next to the resting corner makes you want to enjoy a game of chess more.


The master bedroom is located on the second floor overlooking the balcony.


The balcony has a fantastic view of the surrounding area. A perfect place for small gathering and BBQ.


This little doggy is so cute. He or she (opps I’m not too sure. I forgot his/her name as well.) is literally posing for me to shoot.


If you all are wondering where this nice little place is, it’s at ‘The Bale’.

Dragging the Shutter II: The Fireworks Series

Sunday, January 4th, 2009

Happy 2009 to everyone. 2008 has ended with quite a number of unpleasant incidents, ranging from earthquakes to terrorists attack to the crush of the financial markets which affected almost every economy in the world. Having said that, let’s not forget there are moments which touched our lifes and events which lifted our spirits too. For the first time, Singapore hosted the first F1 night race which brought us into the limelight all over the world. For the first time over 48 years, Singapore won a Silver medal in the Beijing Olympics, not forgetting the opening ceremony at the Beijing Bird Nest Stadium was one of the best show ever.

On a personal basis, I finally did my proposal to her and bought our wedding bands 2 days ago. 2008 is also the year where I seriously considered venturing further into Wedding Photography. I’ve always love photography and this thing has been at the back of my mind for so long. It was a tough decision to make and definitely a total switch from the current job I’m working as. With the passion and the support from all of you, I’ll continue to shoot and bring you better pictures.

What’s New Year without the fantasic firework display. I’m a great fan of fireworks and every year during the Singapore Firewroks Festival, I’ll be there queueing without fail. Though I wasn’t there this year at the Marina area witnessing the countdown, I’d still like to post some pictures of fireworks which I took over the years. I’d also like to specially thank my friend cum mentor Say Chong, who taught me a great deal about how to shoot fireworks. It was through him I learnt a whole new thing about photography, especially fireworks.

Before the announcement of the Marina IR, the Merlion has provided a very good foreground for shooting fireworks, to capture the fireworks with a taste of Singapore within the picture. Ever since the marina area was block off for the massive IR project, I’ve to change my location to the other side of the river, with the Singapore skyline as the backdrop. This doesn’t bring out the best in the fireworks as with the Merlion anymore. The backdrop is too far, the lightings in the buildings too dim etc. I’ve yet to shoot it from the floating platform though. That area might provide a better angle.
