Caleb and Janice

I have known Janice for .. well.. for as long as I can remember. I think as far back when I was like 5 years old or something like that. I always remember her to be smiling.. beaming from ear to ear. And you can easily coax a chuckle out of her anytime. Her parents and mine were also friends since a long time back when our kampung only has one traffic light and one main road. So it was an honour to be their photographer on their wedding day.



Their wedding took place 5 days before Christmas at The Suajana with a beautiful setting. It was an all in one day wedding, which also included a 10 minute pre-wedding photography session. The weeks leading up to the wedding day saw torrential rain pouring over Kuala Lumpur and soaked the garden where the wedding was to be held. Janice's parents, being Christians, prayed and prayed for clear skies and dry garden. That morning, the clouds made way for the clear blue skies and the garden was dry and the grass spread out with all it's green splendour!



What a great wedding it was!!

Here are the rest of the photos.































Have a great life together Caleb and Janice.

Calvin and Jane Engagement Shoot

This was a very interesting shoot for us. This is not your typical pre-wedding. We like to call it an engagement shoot instead, or a couple shoot. It was free and easy without make up or bridal gowns and tuxedos. Just the couple in their regular outfit, being themselves.



We tried something new in this series of photos. Usually we would use a lot of background to bring out the location or to ensure that the location is known to anyone who looked at that particular photograph. In this series, we took away the background so as to concentrate on the couple themselves. Of course there are some parts of the location which was interesting and thus included in the composition. So there was a little mix and match going on.



Plus we let the couple run loose and allowed them to do their own thing. We only pointed them to a particular place, or do a particular stuff like walking or sitting.



I trust that both Calvin and Jane enjoyed their photoshoot as well.



Calvin is also an avid photographer. And I heard he got himself a nice camera set. Let's wait till there's some photos of him with his new camera. In the mean time, here are some of the photos from the photoshoot.





















Congratulations Calvin and Jane.

New Genre New Ideas

All the while my love and interest in photography have always been people, for example capturing human expressions like how they laugh, how they talk to each others, how happy they see an old friend. Fashion shoot of how to capture be best of the model figure to bring out what was needed to portray.

It has always been that way with my work, so I told my self "let take a break and think of something new to shoot". So I decided to go shoot some flowers pictures since recently I have gotten a Macro lens.

The funny thing is that I never do liked Macro photography as I always thinks that is a time consuming genre which I have no patience of it. But then after a few shots outside of my garden I begin to understand my some people like Macro Photography as it opens up a whole new way in seeing things that we take for granted.

The Full fledge Macro photographer is still not too into it but then applying Macro photography technics with portrait techniques does bring out something interesting. So hope you enjoy.







This first 3 image i shot it in way that it is right against the bright back light. I did it that why is to allow the light to penetrate thru the petals of the flower and shot it with a very shallow depth of field making this picture sharp on the focus area and soft at the back resulting the petals colored up like pastel paint on a canvas.......

My New Toy

On my recent assignment with John and it was in Malacca. Unfortunately both of us was really unfamiliar with the area. so I was concern that we were not able to get to the location on time. Then a friend of mine offered to loan me a GPS navigator unit and that was it. That was it, I'm officially hooked to the device as it was such a convenience and ease of use.

Initially the unit was unable to calculated to the destination but then later it was all good. Once set and we were on our way without a single prob and with time to spare.

Besides the convenience of the device I am a sucker for interior car lights. So when my insatiable thirst for technology clashed with my obsession lights, there was no turning back, I got the Garmin Nuvi 255W personal navigation device. Particularly got this model is because it offers a few additional function, which is the Junction View and also Street mention. Junction View is actually help on complicated junctions were as the street mention is vocally the unit will mention the name of the street that you are about to turn or on.

Sneak peek on th unit.



Here is a close up view of this GPS navigator



Here you can see how the unit illustrates Junction View Function



Another additional Light on my Dash...



Wow! this I like most as it makes my dash look like something from the StarTrek's Ship.

Sunny and Patricia : Malacca

Following their ROM in Singapore, a week later they had their actual day in the historical town of Malacca. I love this town. Filled with artsy stuff and home to the most delicious cendol ever! Not forgetting Satay Celup. Unfortunately, duty calls and we could not enjoy these offering. Maybe some other day. It's good that both Jason and I covered the wedding. More angles, more coverage and the ability to split; one to be with the bride, the other to ensure that the groom gets adequate coverage as well. Here are some of the photos;
