  • Top 15 Bridal Beauty Secrets

A fun wedding for my ex-colleague, Shaun. Shaun and Josie know each other since sec school so we actually went back their school to take some outdoor shots. Dinner was at Orchard Hotel and I really love Josie’s expression when she was peeking into the room before her march in. BTW both bride and groom is taller than me and I’m already 1.82m!

Did a cute bestfriends shoot last Saturday morning. Tried to do off-camera flash but the flash trigger went haywire so have to use natural lighting with fill-in flash.

Brought a 2nd hand light stand from Roger and tried some off camera flash shots. Quite fun but I know there’s still tons of things to learn. Off camera flash with a shoot thru umbrella will create soft difuss directional light which will help shape the model’s body, creating highlights and shadow, the key to great portraits. More info on the strobist site. Did some test shot with my fav models, Ashlee and Xavier.

Yes, I’m 31 going 40 today. I feel so old now…

Just went thru 2 days of a workshop hosted by Yervant, one of the world’s top wedding photographer. He has been in the business for over 25 years and have loads of experiences to share. Really enjoyed his talk and demo. Learn alot of new photoshop tricks too. I also get to meet William Chua, JoHo, Stephen Loh, Michael Chan and the rest of the wedding pros. Here’s some pics I edited after attending the workshop. Does it looks good? Somehow I just couldn’t get that Yervant feel to it.

Just wanna share some babies photos taken during Danny & Limei’s AD! Makes me wanna have a 3rd one! Just “Kidding”, pun intended. As usual, natural lightings work best for kids so I always use that first before using flash. All shot with 35L or 85L.

Woohoo! I’m finally back from the 9 days trip. Miss my kids very much! All thanks to my wife, whose company sponsored this trip, I finally step foot in America. What an eyeopener! I shot around 1100++ photos, mostly landscape/adstract/street/birds and portraits pics. Here’s some nice ones that I have edited.

Damn funny site where you can create some retro yearbook photos of yourself. Try it! Good way to waste sometime. Link : http://www.yearbookyourself.com/
Here’s mine:

Just brought a mint condition Canon 135mm f/2.0 L lens from Roger! Thanks Roger!
Here’s a family portrait of my 4 L lens. More to come!

Long time never take some shots of my dearest Ashlee. While Xavier is having his “I can Read” class, we went to the library and I took shots of her there. Canon 5D + 85L. The last pic is taken outside of the library using ISO3200, F1.2.
