WPPM 2011 giveaway

November 17, 2011

WPPM 2011 conference is around the corner and this year I was given the opportunity to be one of the speaker for the 1st – Class, beginners section. WPPM is an organization where photographers are united under one roof, helping each other to raise the standards of the industry. This does not mean that you who are not labeled as “professionals” are not allowed to join and grow along with us. I would like to give an opportunity to those who are avid photographers and those who are new and would like to excel in photography a chance to experience what I experience last year.

I have a couple of free passes for the beginners class and silver classes. These are all day passes and are worth RM100 and RM500 each.

So how do you get you hand on these passes? Simple. Go to my Facebook Fan Page and Like it. And Post

<Beginners/Silver> – <reason why should you deserve this free passes> and <URL to your flickr/site/fb albums and etc>

I’ll choose the lucky ones based on the reason and also the work that you have (if you are not new). I believe this would be an inspiring and memorable experience. Trust me :)

Madworld – Preview

November 18, 2010

Hey Guys, christmas is coming and guess what? DUMC and SIBKL (2 churches) are collaborating this year to present to you a theatrical dance performance with awesome music. This event is open to every one so do feel free to drop by and watch it. I had the privilege to have a sneak peak on their rehearsal and I must say, though I’m not a dancer or a theater kind of person most of the time…this is great..and the dancers are superb too! So do take this opportunity to catch this performance…and best part of all..its FREE! Bring you date bring you family bring whoever you want…oh yea..you don’t have to be a christian to go..its OPEN :)

from their site the synopsis of it;

We live in a world of the unexpected–a mad world which seems to make little sense. In a world where tragedies beyond our imagination happen daily at preposterous proportions, how is it possible for us to live as if there were no tomorrow?

How peculiar that we care only about our own existence, when others around us could be drowning.

Have we forgotten the value of human lives?

Who are we and what is our worth?

What gives a man his value – his riches or his power over other men?

What about those whose lives are shattered by suffering—has God been unkind to them?
Don’t they matter?

What is the value of a human life?

MadWorld takes us into the souls of two men – Adam and Lucas – both asking the same question:

“What is indeed the worth of our souls?”

Red Ninja Camp

April 26, 2010

I’m back from boot camp! Haha…it really feels weird calling it boot camp but in a way it’s somehow like that. I would say it was really fun and I had a good time there, though I had to stay up late abit to do some editing.

If you were following me on twitter, a month or two back then I said I was running dry on my shots and pretty much not feeling the mojo being there anymore. I guess god has his eyes on me…Redninja.tv brought down Wiki Lee who’s also the founder of Foto Expression. Somehow during camp my mojo came back and my mind has been refreshed once again.

Camp wasn’t all talk and no action, we were given individual task and also group task. The individual task was more like a pre-wedding shoot with an actual couple. I got to work with Rachel and Ser Young which were awesome and cool to work with. Here are the 5 pictures that we were required to submit.

The group project was to come up with a slide show that would show the personality of our group members and this is what we came up with. Out of our expectation we actually manage to get first place. I bet the judges had a hard time figuring out which would they picked as the other groups work were awesome as well.

group members were : Andrew Chow, Teng Wei, Jonathan Tan and ofcourse yours truely Benjamin Lim. All shots were an equal contribution of all members.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jon Low from Jon Low Studios for his mentoring and guidance. Not to forget Wiki himself and his wife Ilona for their superb personal attention.

Lastly all the beautiful pictures wouldn’t be anything if it wasn’t for the marlevous bride and groom, Rachel and Ser Young. Thank you so much for being our models and being commanded by us..haha. Thank you as well Shinny Ong for your awesome skills in make up and hair making the bride and groom look their best. Lastly to Pretty in White for the wonderful looking dresses.
