Hello and welcome, I'm a Freelance Photographer from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia who loves capturing moments
and everything under the sun. I love photography and am
very much passionate about it.
If you are interested in trying out something new and
different I'm definitely am the man you would love to approach.
Feel free to take your time to browse through my work and feel free to contact me
if you need to enquire about anything at all. For more previews of my work we could arrange a meet up at your convenience.
I am on on twitter
and @reply me so that I know who you
are :) Cheers!
I would like to introduce a new service that I’ve been wanting to explore for a while now, Pet photography. For those animal lovers out there like me who love to capture pictures of you love one, here’s a chance to get a professional to capture you and your love ones/family in a casual and fun portrait session.
Here are some pictures of Dydee with her 3 fun and active dogs playing around the park. I love how the dogs are allowed to run free and have fun in parks…really hope that there are more dog parks in KL.
Lastly this poor fellow so tired at the end…he just gave up and decided to call it a day.
It’s been a while since I posted wedding pictures so I’ll be posting a little more from now on I guess. All shots from this post are my shots that was taken with the awesomely tall Andy Chin from Andy Chin Studio. Thanks a lot Andy for the opportunity to work with you on this pre wedding session.
The day started off with a great breakfast and heavy downpour, but thank god it kind of stopped a little when we reached our first venue, Ker Shing and Stanley went on though it was drizzling…you guys were great! Later we moved on to a place known as the Malaysian On Tree Hill. Seriously I didn’t know bout this place till I got there and was like.. “ahhh….so this is why its called one tree Hill” Thanks again to Andy for the opportunity, Ker Shing and Stanley I hope you guys had as much fun as I did.
If I recall correctly we planned this photo walk a month or two back back where we photographer would go for a trip and take portrait pictures of each other since we are always taking pictures for people there wasn’t any one who would do the same for us. So Edwin set the date and the rest just came if they could. It was more of a casual and relax thing for most of us as we weren’t working with out camera’s. Here are my favorite shots from the outing.
I have to say the next picture gives me a nostalgic feeling as Genting Highlands was one of those places where every parent would bring their kid and yet they would have a fuzzy memory of the place. I remember over enjoying myself till I would get nightmares at night…hehe and this old building would always have a place in my mind.
I’ve not been giving out my name cards since the 1st batch of print was all depleted reason cos the 2nd batch had some printing errors and all. I’m not really a very picky person nor am I a really fussy person (i think) but yea..giving a card which I wasn’t even proud of was really not something I would do so I would tell people I ran out of cards, which is partially the truth.
So over the weekend I got my new stock of cards and boy am I happy with it..Patrick from My Colorful Memories did a wonderful job and not to mention gave me a really good quality card. So here’s my chance to show off a lil my new card
Just recently I was given a chance to do a baby portrait with Pei Chyi’s and David’s one month old baby Zachary. I must say it was quite fun and challenging at the same time. Lil Zach was very cooperative throughout the whole session and would fall asleep and wake up on demand..totally awesome! how many babies do you know could sleep and be awaken and not be cranky?
David is an online marketer (i think?) who helps people with their business online..do check out his blog at http://blogjunkie.net for a more accurate idea of what he does
This baby is so cool that he even got his own facebook page the day he was born, he was catching up on how many fans he has till he doze off.
Lastly a family portrait, thanks again Pei Chyi and David for the opportunity and hopefully one day…maybe 20 years from now Zach will read this post
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.
and I selected this picture as my fav which got my 4th spot.
Thank you Canon Malaysia for sponsoring the prizes. I got a lens pen to clean my lens.
The top 3 winners got themself a mini 5D mark2 which is soooo cute!
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.
I missed Holi by a day in India, came back 1 day before Holi festival, so you may be wondering what on earth is this Holi thing…well I was too when I first heard it. Holi is actually known as the Festival of Colors, think of it as the colorful version Songkran (Water festival in Thailand). Holi is somewhat similar to it just that they start with some colored powder throwing and then later proceed to water fights. Read more bout it here.
Holi falls on a Monday 1st March 2010, and because it’s not a public holiday here in Kuala Lumpur, the local community usually celebrates it the coming weekend which was on the 7th in this case. Holi in India is massive…streets and people would be covered in colors but in KL things are slightly smaller scale. Lots of music and dancing and of course..water splashing. Here are some of my Favorite takes from the event.
Over the week I signed up for a photography conference called Charge Up, organize by live wire media. It’s a 4 day conference but due to some unforeseen issues I only manage to attend the 2 days, the 3rd day we were given as task/project and would work in a group to come up with a montage for certain NGO/Ministry. Sadly I wasn’t able to join the rest of my new friends there and since I was home all night, I decided to make this lil montage. Please don’t take this montage seriously as it’s meant to be a joke. Just to have some fun…since I missed the event.
Enjoy the montage yea!
It’s almost the end of the year now, and it’s been one year and a half year since I started photography and owning my 1st ever camera. It’s been a fantastic journey so far. I’ve learn how to be a better person, make new friends…amazing friends, and not only have I get paid doing what I like, I get to make people happy with what I do. Besides that I’ve also got blessed with opportunities to shoot with people who I’ve admire from reading their blogs, Jenny Sun, Patrick Low, Edwin Tan and Andy Chin. This all would have been possible if it wasn’t for Grace Tan from Wedding Story and Alex Lam from Integricity and the team of people behind Shootfest. I’d believe that my journey would not have been boosted forward without this event and therefore I do owe you guys as well.
I started out learning my photography from forums and the internet, but with the guidance of my new found friends sight and perception with details and things around has changed. I’m not sure how exactly to put things in to words but I do sense the difference from what I see now when I walk around.
Besides meeting a whole bunch of great local photographer like Louis Pang, Robin Ng, Ian Chong, Jon Low and many many more I’ve also had the opportunity to meet greet and talk to international ones like Jerry Ghionis and CM Leung. I must admit it was a definately a great honor and pleasure to be able to talk to these people. I’ve been wanting to meet Jerry since I saw Masters of Wedding Photography and since then have fallen in love with the way he does his work. Hopefully next year I’ll get to meet Joe Mcnally who would be in KL for a workshop and seminar.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the ones beside me for their support and chance to grow my career in photography. Oh I must not forget the wonderful brides and grooms who I’ve shot too…without the chance to shoot your wedding I would not be who I am today or have grown to who I am. Thank you once more for entrusting me with probably the biggest event of your life, and you and your other half be bless with the joys of life.
I’ve decided to be a little more active next year in photography, not in terms of getting more jobs but in terms of using the camera more. With that I would TRY to take a picture a day and post it on flickr and maybe my blog. Hopefully I could successfully have a complete 365 album.
With that I would like to wish all of you a Happy New Year and may the coming year be better for all of us, I know I may have missed you many many names but it doesn’t I do not appreciate you help, advise or your presence in my life. You know who you are if you know me
A friend invited me to her birthday party last weekend. She celebrated her birthday earlier as her birthday fell on a weekday, so I have the honor of being the “photographer” for the joyful occasion. I thought it would be nice if I could give her a little gift by compiling some shots in to a photo montage.
The party was held in 7atenine which was the same building as Ascott Kuala Lumpur. It was my first time there and infact was my first time hearing of the place. Food was pretty alright and the place was a nice chill out spot.
