A photojournalistic style means recording the event as it occurs, capturing as many spontaneous moments as possible rather than relying on posed situations.

It takes good instincts, a creative eye, contain lots of knowledge, experience and sense of art… and the highest technical skills to produce good results ….. i would like to thank to all the Guru’s who tought me, keep me learning & shared with their experiences …

Thanks to the couple who giving me such a good oppurturnity & great experience shooting at Italy. And lastly to my business partners Gregory Cheong from gregsvideo.com.

* I really like to be a wedding photographer I believe that my picture could be the building blocks of love.*

Today I am simultaneously happy, proud, and humbled to announce that I’ve placed in the 2011 1st quarter AGWPJA awards, a division of WPJA

I’ve been honored to win a few awards for AGWPJA contests, this is my THIRD win for the WPJA. What makes this so special for me is not just the prestige or bragging rights. It’s because the image that won is one that I feel is indicative of the approach I take with my work.

These were the judges comments:

“Strong composition with the subject framed in the right third of the frame. Nice capture of emotion and gesture and the toning works well.”

This image, from Elton + Joylynn a wedding at Bangalore, India won 2nd place in the Ceremony categories

And there pre wedding images was taken at Botanical garden City of Bangalore

7th place – The Creative Portrait category

Judges Comment:

Simple and clean with nice graphic appeal and really nice tone in the sky. Strong composition.

5th Place

Really enjoy photographing Indian weddings because of all the vibrant colors in everyone’s clothing.  We caught this great moment during Maiyaan oil ceremony.  It’s showing the mixture made of turmeric powder, flour, and oil is applied to the bride’s face, arms, legs and feet to cleanse the body in preparation for the new life ahead of them.

10th Place
The other winning image was taken wedding reception at the Pulau Pangkor. Ceremony start at 4.00am in the morning, the images is show the musicians play music on beach side. Its really fantastic build and nice ambiance natural lighting we had. As I know the deco is worth about 30k.
