Canon Creative Asia Photo Competition

Here are some images that I have submitted for a photo competition sometime ago :)

More Wins at WPPI

I'm happy to see that more photographers from Singapore joining WPPI - Wedding & Portraits Photographers International. The best news is that they've been winning awards too! I was very pleased to learn that Kelvin Koh from Lighted Pixel and Kelvin Lim from Portraits both won Accolades of Excellence for works that they have submitted. Congratulations guys!

I was introduced to WPPI by Andrew Choi 2 years ago and was inspired to join this dynamic organisation which has members of top American and Australian Wedding photographers like Yervant, Joe Buissink, Jesh de Rox, Jerry Ghionis, Ryan Schembri, Mike Larson etc...

Last year in 2008, together with Chor Hui and Andrew Choi, we headed for Las Vegas for one of the biggest wedding photography conventions in USA. I had the experience of my life that I will never forget. Meeting top professionals from all over the world and learning from the masters themselves was indeed truly worth the 18hr trip there! Its was a pity that this year my schedule was so tight that I missed the competition and the convention but I'm sure I'll be heading over to Las Vegas next March. For those who are interested to see the world in one city make March 4-11 2010 free and join me in Las Vegas!

WPPI here I come!... next year that is... :)

Thank you all once again...

Thank God for giving me this chance to win these awards and for all the inspirations You have given me. Thank you all of you for your support and encouragement, for all the opportunities to be the chosen one to have the honor to photograph your weddings. It has been my pleasure and joy to be part of your joyous occasion. I'm looking forward for my next wedding shoot and searching for my next award winning shot... Any volunteers? : )

I'm making another jump...

I was walking down the rows of photos to admire and study other works when I stumbled upon a familiar image. Giggling very hard inside I found another piece of my work. And here is the other winning shot. Thank you Marcus & Lynn for giving me this opportunity to create this shot. : )

2 wins at WPPI...

As I was walking down the aisle of photo winners of this year's WPPI 16x20 competition my heart was pumping as if I just ran 2.4km. Quickly screening thru all the photos on the wall I saw a familiar shot. No its not mine... its Andrew's. He has 1 winning shot this year.

Determined not to give up I went thru some more down the row and low & behold I saw my photo hanging there and I can't believe my eyes! Than just 1 photo away I saw another!!! I was screaming so loud no one could hear me. Coz it's all happening in me : ) But I on the outside I remained calm as if it was meant to be.. haha...

This is my first 2 international awards and I'm proud of it. Now I'm determined even more to win more awards next year and hopefully win within the top 3 places. That shall be my goal for now.

I would like to thank God for blessing me with this very big prize He gave me. My wife and family too in supporting my in the career path I decided to take on over 8 years ago. A big Thank you to my Mentor Kim and my other bosses for their support and the encouragement of my fellow colleagues in the office.
