Posting date: January 28th, 2011 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding) |  a very interesting and challenging photo session … ….
first, when I arrived at the inspiration lake in the morning (phoebe and julian ‘re still on their way to the park),it was so surprising that the place was already packed with lots of students. Looked like the day was a picnic day for lots of schools and the park was very popular for school picnic. Within two seconds I uploaded the photos below to my facebook page, phoebe already left message to me and asked if we need to switch location. you can imagine how difficult to find a quiet place that day … … But I always tell my client that location is not important for me, and I am always looking for color, abstract pattern instead of wide angle landscape in my photos, then, let ’s give it a try
second, when they arrive, the 1st thing that julian told [......]

Posting date: October 28th, 2010 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding) |  my pleasure to be the wedding photographer for rene and alistair. Not only they flied all the way from UK to Hong Kong to have they pre-wedding shoot here, but they really love my photography style and all the places in Hong Kong as well.
by reading my blog, they love the photos at wetland park a lot. it is almost one year since I took photo there last time. I love this place a lot, but it can be tough for clients as it takes almost 20 min walk going to the wooden bridge and it can get very very hot during the summer times.
this photo session was done in sept when the weather was still very hot. I can still remember rene got completed exhausted after taking photos at the bridge. who says it is easy to get good photo ???
anyway, thanks for coming, and hope you did enjoy the [......]

Posting date: October 15th, 2008 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding) |  Are you a fan of simon.the.photo on Facebook?
When I found that we could establish a fan page on facebook, I created one just for fun in July, and I never thought that I could have a “fan” … …
It ‘s so amazing that my facebook page have over 430 fans after two months (as of today), this is such a big number that I don’t think I deserve it.
Talking about fan, I ‘d love to introduce Natalie and Arthur, they are definitely the No. fan 1 of me. When I had their e-session last month, I found out that Natalie has a collections of photos from this blog. She downloaded her favorite images (with comments and notes), print them out and put them in a very organized box file. With such a couple that loves my photos so much, it gave me lot of energy and inspiration on [......]

Posting date: August 1st, 2008 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding) |  Christina and Johnny planned to have this session in April, but Christina got her ankle hurt so we had to delay until last week.
date: 23 July, 2008 locations: Wetland park, big wave beach, the Peak
As it ’s getting more and more difficult to shoot outdoor in the summer, I started to understand why we need to have a studio, . Not only the heat, but also the overhead strong sunlight that makes your eyes uncomfortable. So, is Simon going to open a studio? … … never, I hate studio work, it ’s so boring, I like the excitement of walking around to look for new location and good light ….. …. if you ask me to work in a studio, I ‘d rather going back to an office and becoming a businessman again.
Having said that, any way to cope with the heat? OK, stay tuned, [......]

Posting date: July 22nd, 2008 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding) |  when I read the newspaper this morning, I learned that yesterday, so far, was the hottest day of this year, no wonder we felt so hot yesterday!!!! When we were at the Wetland Part in the afternoon, we just couldn’t stay outside. Finally, we only spent around 30 min outdoor, and still got completely wet !!!!
In the morning, our 1st location was the Mary Knoll school, not only my first time to be there, but also my first time to meet Philip. I learned from Carmen that he doesn’t like taking any photo. It was a little bit challenging at first, but he was such a great guy that loosen up very soon, in fact much better than I expected !!!! And he made a joke that the amount of photos I took for him yesterday was more than all he had in last 10 years !!!
Look forward to their [......]

Posting date: July 18th, 2008 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding) |  it rained most of the time in last few weeks, several photo sessions ‘re postponed. When I talked to Ben last week, he told me that he would go ahead the photo session on last Monday (14 July) no matter it rained or not. What a great man !!! So what happened — instead of having a rainy day, we had the hottest and sunny photo session. It was so hot that Ben almost got sunstroke when we finish the first stop at the Wetland Park.
date: 14 July, 2008 locations: Wetland Park, Shek O, Club JJ’s of Grand Hyatt
my fav of the day. I found this red wall inside the visitor center.
look at Ben, he ’s not holding a mobile. He almost got a sunstroke after one hour outdoor shooting. He ’s holding an ice pack to cool himself down
