tourist things; from a different perspective.

exploring things on the fly while travelling was such a joy and to be able to relive it again felt really really good.

Festive seasons: aside from fun, laughter, and lots of feasting, it is also a time to take stock of your progress and make up for lost time with your loved ones - unwinding, and doing the things that you love together, after what has been a really challenging year.

Merry Christmas, to all of you. May your festive season be full of joy and love. 🎄✨

“Even when our days turn into nights
Even when our world don't turn out right
Even if our stars collide
Baby, I'll be holding on to you”

Prior to this shoot, the last time I actually picked up a camera to do something like was close to 2 years - that’s how long of a gap since my last proper shoot.

When and approached me to do this, the first thing on my mind was hesitation, with the knowledge that I haven’t done this in a very long time and probably not the best person for the job. I eventually said yes, after much convincing from them both.

The process of conceptualising and ideation came, and I recall spending a lot of time trying to decide how should I approach this shoot. After all, both of them are close friends of mine, and the last thing I wanted was a bad job.
I wanted something that reflects who they are, the story of their lives and what truly meant to them - something that is aligned to their thoughts as well, with elements of both fun

Tbh, I wasn’t actually very satisfied with the overall outcome, and it’s still a work in progress. Just like everything we do in life.

Thank you both, for having me do this for you all. It really was a pleasure, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

“It isn't easy building something out of nothing
Especially when the road ahead's a rocky one
But if we gather all our courage and conviction
And hold our dream up high, the challenge will be won” - ,

lyrics like this still resonate at such a time where everyone seems more divided than ever before, in a world that is never the same again.

as ‘patriotic’ as we might be on this one day every year (yes, the irony), I hope we never forget that our actions are what eventually defines us.

so do better, than what we are at this point in time.

happy 56th, 🇸🇬

Today, is . A day where we celebrate empowerment and gender equality for what is a world that traditionally favours males. All of that has changed over the years and it’s truly an amazing thing to see how much this has evolved.

Here’s to all the amazing women around the world - may you never stop fighting for what you truly believe in and showing what you are truly capable of.

It all started with a feeling

26/03/2019

When Inah approached me to do a casual photo shoot for herself and Allan, she had her concerns that ‘posed’ and ‘staged’ shots would be a challenge for them. With that in mind, coupled with the help and advice from some friends, I presented them with the idea that I will put more focus towards capturing their candid moments with as minimal ‘staged’ shots as possible.

Looking back, I had my fair share of concerns and fear of not being able to capture what I envisioned. Those thoughts were put to rest, when I saw for myself how naturally they eased into the mood and totally ignoring my presence in the process. The sight of them fully immersed in the moment was a joy to me that, there were instances where I almost forgot I had a job to do 😂

Thank you, for trusting me with this, and . Congrats once again, on your engagement too! 😊 @ Prudential Marina Bay Carnival
