Started my photography endeavours in September 2006, generally as a
means of furthering my experimentation into graphic design and
manipulation, as prior to my involvement in photography, my main
passion was multimedia and graphics, and web development. I dabbled
using digital point and shoot cameras and film cameras for a while
before that though, secretly longing for a DSLR to call my own.
After I shot my first few frames with my new camera, I promptly
rekindled my activity in Flickr and its various forums to further my
understanding of the equipments I have. I've met a lot of wonderful
people in Flickr, constantly inspired by the images they share. This
constant feeding of ideas into the groups meant everyone can learn and
everyone can teach, and everyone can grow together in photography.
A chance meeting with Wandi of BruneiForeverForums finally baited me
into the local photography/photoblogging scene, all the while meeting
new faces, and finally putting names to online handles and nicknames.
Names that were only attached to images that inspired now became
friends that I shoot along with.
I strive to represent the images I capture as how I see it, preferring
to do only minimal manipulation on the images, adhering to the
Photojournalism ethos. While I don't shy away from heavily
manipulating my images, I find that people can appreciate photography
as a means of representing reality from the viewpoint of my eye, which
encourages me more to further my education in this artform.
My current interest are broadranging; adept at all types of sports
shooting, dabbling in glamour/fashion/portaiture photography, candids,
street photography and event photography are my forte. I'm willing to
push the boundaries in the types of shots I take, and having
Strobist.com as my guide, I find that I can incorporate what I've
learned from that site into most of the shots I take.
My current bug is landscape and nature shoots, which I find myself
trekking in the middle of nowhere with a heavy back pack to find that
beauty that's just beyond the next obstacle. Be it rain, or streaking
sun shine; be it a short hike, or an hour trek; be it warm afternoon
weather, or nail biting 4am chill, knowing that that one image can
erase the exhaustion in that one instant, how can you not be addicted?
