One of my 2010 photography resolutions is to improve my lighting skill. I have made it clear to the loved ones that I’d love to improve in this area. All this while, psychologically I have fear to flash my subjects (the bride and groom) using remote flash. And I know it’s time to remove this barrier and go on positively in this wonderful wedding photography journey.
More amazingly, after Joe’s back to basic teaching and some simple demonstration of using the remote flash in the most simple way, I gained much than I could imagine. More importantly that restored my confidence to flash remotely in any low light condition. This will soon be my next self challenge to have some portraiture sessions applying some of these techniques. Below are just some of the pictures I created myself, with help from some fellow photographer friends.
Please meet a new friend of mine, Melissa, whose real profession is NTV news broadcaster.
And, we have a professional dancer. This is Sherlyn, a professional dancer.
Not many times I encounter this. But James and Felicia did give us a wake up call to be thankful to our parents for who they are for us in our lives. Showing gratitude to our parents should be a common practise from time to time, thanking them for every little thing we have. It isn’t that difficult at all afterall, is it?
Below are just some captures during James and Felicia’s wedding while they were given a chance to speak from their heart. Touching moments, and truly, I thank God for my parents.
Friends, are you thankful to your parents for yesterday, today and tomorrow?
The last quarter of 2009 had been crazily tight in my schedule. Or even now I am still struggling to find some spare time to relax myself, which I guess it won’t come until Chinese New Year.
Many updates in this site are yet to be done. Many weddings and lovely moments are yet to be posted, and they are few months lagging behind. I seriously have lost little in this progress which I think it’s time to move on and expand a little in wedding photography.
If things go well, soon we’ll have a decent place to work where full concentration could be placed on that little get away corner. We found vendors who love us, and will have a chance to work even closely. 2010 sounds promising, although I am cutting down the number of wedding assignments heavily.
For brides and grooms, if you are looking for pre wedding photo session with one of the best photographers, we’ll soon launch our Pre Wedding Collections. Part of the excitements include destination pre wedding photo sessions in overseas. Also, you’ll find many more imported designer gowns in our closets. Stay tuned. And we truly appreciate your love and support.
Below are some of the beautiful weddings that should be coming soon.

I promise this is something different! You won’t see this in Hong Kong as a tourist.
My Hong Kong friend, Jessica whom I met in Perth 9 years ago while I was still studying in university, brought me around Hong Kong in an afternoon. It was our very first meeting after 8 years. And yes, we have not seen each other for that many years.
She didn’t want to show me the usual beautiful Hong Kong as what we’ve seen as tourists. In fact, she wanted me to experience the reality of living in such high expenses city. So we toured around, and by chance we stopped by the lower cost residential area in Kowloon.
Here, I gotta be realistic and experience myself the lifestyle of the lower class. Some of us seen these flats in typical Hong Kong movies or dramas. And I tell you, exactly it is. You don’t even have the luxury to have a lift to bring you up to the top floors. Jessica and I had to climb the staircase, one level to another until the 8th floor.
I truly loved the experience. Beyond words could describe of what I’ve seen.

Being a man who lives in a much slower pace city, walking in Hong Kong could be killing to me. Too many people, too busy lifestyle, and too fast the pace. I couldn’t even match their waling speed. My legs sore and aching like nobody business at the end of each day.
It will challenging to me if I were to reside in this financial hub of Asia.
Below are just snapshots along the way of people in Hong Kong:

Sometimes it is good to pause a while on what you are doing and shift attention to some other thing that you love to do.
Now, let’s not talk about weddings and the beautiful people for a moment. I’d love to share some of the photos taken in my most recent trip to Hong Kong, the Oriental Pearl. It was a short break for me, in fact it was a welcome activity to pull myself away from wedding photography. Most importantly it recharged and refreshed me, so I could go further distance.
