Posting date: August 4th, 2010 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding) |  A very special day for queenie and sydney. it ’s also special for simon as well.
just the day before the shooting, the weather forecast was bad, thunderstorm was expected. I thought the session would be postponed, but out of my expectation, queenie told me they would keep going no matter what.
So what happened? The very second we got on the 7-seater van, it started pouring, and it ’s so bad that we couldn’t even get off the van any more. six persons in car, we kept discussing where we could go. They liked going to the peak, but I said there ’s no way I could take photo at the peak under the thunderstorm. Then Gracy suggested the Central pier, at least, we could hide under the pier ceiling … .. That ’s how we started the day …. ….
finally, I learned that the day was their 8th anniversary of [......]

Posting date: June 1st, 2010 | Category: photo shooting technique |  this is the photo I posted in my previous post of wedding of jo and desmond. This is corridor at the island shangri la. Usually, I ‘ll spend the time taking photos of the venue and decoration while my clients are having the formal shots around 7:00pm – 8:00 pm before the banquet.
this post is going to tell you the works involved in this photo. It took me a total of 10 min to shoot it and lots of processing works are required.
this is the photo that was shoot without lighting and post processing. very nice decoration, but it looks very flat and boring in terms of lighting in the photo.
Go ahead to see what works are involved to make it look more interesting
Posting date: March 3rd, 2010 | Category: anniversary |  a very happy photo session.
I did several anniversary sessions every year, and I always love doing it. Why ??? It is not uncommon that most grooms are not interested in wedding photos, so if a man love to do another photo session with his wife after wedding, the session usually turns out very very sweet !!!!
look forward to this session for a long long time, as they booked it almost 1 year before their wedding (even though I was not their wedding day photographer), so it was booked almost two years before. Thank hazel and derek for having me as your anniversary photographer, really enjoyed a lot on the day.
locations: home, central, Pak Nai, Gold Coast (night shoot)
both hazel and derek love taking photo and they took their DSLR on the day.

Posting date: September 7th, 2009 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding), photo shooting technique |  a set of happy and warm photos.
I love the idea that they preferred to have the night shoot at home instead of going to those popular places. What a great idea, especially during the summer time !!!! We could have a can of coke during the shooting.
locations: Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), Shek O, Home
joey, stephen and their babies.
This pic was done by 3 flashes (one for joey, one for stephen, and one for the background). If I could do it again, I would use one more flash so that the background was more “white” (you can notice that the background is not pure white on the left)
they are music players. Lovely !!!
Posting date: August 29th, 2009 | Category: barmitzvah, personal, photo shooting technique |  I was enjoying the “holiday” in last few weeks and very lazy updating the blog.
with only a few photo sessions in august, I had more free time to clean up the photo editing and album backlogs. Apart from it, really enjoyed the extra time I had with shulin. We went to different playgroups (little gym, ballet junior …. …) or went to swimming everyday – this was such a wonderful time (you can see some photos and video on my facebook fans page) !!!!
Before writing this blog, I was packing my equipments to prepare the photo session tomorrow – the bar mitzvah party of hugo. This is the kick-off of the peak season and my schedule was fully packed before the Chinese new year. Hopefully, I can update the blog more frequently in this season … …
In this and the next few posts, I ‘d like to share some photo [......]
