Vicky & Kevin

What better date to tie the knot than the 10-10-10. Though the streets were swarmed with decorated cars and happy brides in big white gowns walking around, the whole wedding vibe in the city was fantastic.

I was away in Melbourne to celebrate my sister-in-law’s wedding and had the privilege to photograph the beautiful couple. Besides the wonderful couple, the location – the vibrant city of Melbourne - made the whole photoshoot event more exciting.

Thank you Vicky and Kevin for the wonderful opportunity and wishing you both a great journey ahead.

Travel: Chinese theatrical performance

Went to 3 different shows while in China and thoroughly enjoyed it. The costumes and props were pretty spectacular. Still managed to take more than a handful of shots even though I was seated almost right behind the auditorium. Was actually considering between the 85mm or 70-200mm for the holiday trip. I decided to travel as light as I could and went with the prime lens. All shots were taken straight out of camera as jpeg.

Low light photography

Went to the opening event of a church convention on Good Friday. Overall a great experience and the hall was filled with passionate and exciting people. Light source came from the stage and it was dynamic. General camera settings was on aperture priority, auto white balance, and spot metering. Set a limit for high ISO and low shutter speed to freeze action. The camera did pretty well in auto exposure and focusing was snappy with the 85mm f1.4.


One of my favourite and most challenging person to shoot!


Taken at 1/250s to freeze action.


Thanks to the PA and visuals team for a great production.


It's really hot on stage under a gazillion spotlight + passion!


This really sums up the experience everyone had that night.

Travel: Shanghai and Beijing

Went on a holiday trip to China in February during Chinese New Year. Winter was coming to an end but still had the chance to see some snow at the outskirts of Shanghai. I wanted to travel light and took with me the 17-35mmm f2.8 and 85mm f1.4. The zoom lens was used the most while the 85mm was used for theater performances. Clicking the photos below will take you to the gallery.


Shanghai City still developing.


West Lake, Hangzhou.


West Lake, Hangzhou. You can imagine how hard it was to take a photo without someone interfering.


Typical home by a small canal at Suzhou.


The woman was actually singing and piloting the little boat.


The National Grand Theater in Beijing. Would have really loved to take a photo of this masterpiece during sunset!


Saw a ray of light coming through the ceiling of this little building at the The Forbidden City, Beijing.


The Great Wall of China, Beijing.

Will post photos of chinese theatrical performances in the next couple of days.
