Road Trip: Penang – A Photolog

It was an impromptu trip made on the 11th hour before departure to the island of Penang, a 5hour odd drive from Kuala Lumpur. It was a nice journey as it's been 2 years since I last stepped into Penang. I would not write much about it as you can search through the multitude of blogs and websites telling you →


New Logo for Mike Yip

As you guys know, these days, we have to watermark our images as tend to be used by a lot of people, especially when it comes to event photos. If you've not seen my watermark before (so what were you trying to see the few times you came in here if it's not for the photos?), here's how it looked →

What a Photographer SHOULDN’T do on Assignments

Irregardless of whether it's a Wedding Job or an Event Job, this video shows you a very good example of what SHOULD NOT be done. This might just be an outtake of the whole shoot where they edit out all the shots that has the photographers in view but still, coordination between the videographer and the photographers should be done or →


Construction Silhouette

Submitted this photo for ShutterAsia's monthly contest and decide to share it here as well. What do you think? Here's another photo I like. Feel free to comment. Would love to know what others think about it as the photos was taken in this manner.


Teaser Shot: Want to See More?

Just a teaser photo. Want to see more? Let me know by commenting ya.


Portraits: Li Peng

Li Peng was a wonderful subject to work with on a nice cool sunday evening and as she has done this many times over, to get her to pose is quite an easy thing to do. The location we used is the ever popular FRIM. So popular that many a times when you look at wedding albums, you're bound to recognize →


Portraits: Ying Ying

A Couple of weekends back, had the opportunity to provide some portraitures for Ms. Ying Ying and as the theme is look to be outdoor, the shoot was done at FRIM. These are the result of that shoot. For more, you can check out the flickr album here.


Who’s photos would you like to see first?

A week back, I went to FRIM to do some shoot with these 2 ladies. Finally found a connection that's fast enough for me to upload photos so here's my question. The lady on the left is Ying Ying and the lady on the right is Li Peng. Who would you like to see first? Just comment with their names and →


Going to the shops with Eva Lim

I know I posted up this post earlier but somehow it's no longer in my list. I guess I'll have to start all over again. :( A whole list of footnotes and stuff all gone down the drain. A bug? Someone got into my account with my super long password that I can barely remember and remove my posts? Anyway, back →


My Journey In Photography

Something just sparked in me while reading some fellow photographers' blog about their progress in the world of photography. I found myself asking the question How far have I gone with what I've done?  It might not be the wisest or smartest question out there but truly, eventually, this question needs to be answered. Right? My interest in photography was sparked →


The Chinese Opium Pipe

An opium pipe is a pipe designed for the vaporization and inhalation of opium. True opium pipes allow for the drug to be vaporized while being heated over a special oil lamp known as an opium lamp. It is thought that this manner of "smoking" opium began in the seventeenth century when a special pipe was developed that vaporized opium →


Portraits of Joyce

Took these portraits for Joyce at the park opposite Amcorp Mall. At first, we thought that we won't be able to capture any shots before it rains as the storm clouds closed in but as we head to the spot I chosen, the cloud parted ways for a nice afternoon sky amidst the bloody haze. Here's some photos. Do feel free →


Kota Damansara Community Forest

It was a nice day and I decide to go out for a walk near home, even though there's haze in the Klang Valley and it's practically boiling throughout the day. It's always a nice idea to go out for a walk, sweat a bit to allow the body some form of exercise. Right? One of the place I like to →


Setting Sun Over Port Dickson

Another landscape series from me, this was shot at Port Dickson near the Yacht Club against a hazy backdrop. As you know, lately the west coast of Malaysia has been enveloped by a layer of haze, it's nothing new of course since Indonesia, our oh so friendly neighbor like to burn things in the open and fan it our way. How →

Shai & Melody’s Wedding

Couple of weeks back, Stephenie and I attended her cousin's wedding in KL. Just sharing some photos from the blissful day. Do let me know what you think about the photos, you can view more photos on my Flickr.


Mosque @ Dusk

After taking photos of the Sikh Temple a couple of weeks back, I decided that it would be a nice thing to do to capture images of other places of worship as well. How they look early in the morning when the sun is rising or in the evening when the sun is setting. Depending of course on which direction →


Punggol East Sun Rise

I'm always intrigue by the greens that's available all over Singapore. At Punggol, there's more green around the place compared to what I can see in Kuala Lumpur. Landscape photography in a way is very new to me, but I guess it's something that's easy to learn. It's all about being at the right place at the right time and knowing →


As Budding Artists…..


Virgin Dawn Experience

The last couple of days, I've been posting up a lot of first, from Sunset to landscapes to HDRs to Moon. Today, here's a sun rise photography first for me. Waking up early in the morning just to go catch the morning sun rising over the horizon. It's not the easiest of thing do, try dragging yourself out of the →


I was Mooned!

Was trying to capture the moon, ain't sure if it turned out well. What do you think?


What the…

Guess this is how most photographers feel when they ask for response regarding their work and not getting the response they expected.


Japanese Food Pornography

I know ... I know... cheesy title. I did this shoot quite some time back, only got about going through it. You could see the photos I took at a certain restaurant's menu if you have been following what I was doing a couple of months back. These are my favorite shots that I like. Feel free to comment about what you →
