Portrait: Nicky K
I shot Nicky early December last year and used only 1 SB-800 external flash which was handheld by an assistant. In some of the shots, I set the exposure in the camera to minus 1/3 EV to get a more saturated image. It was a great experience shooting her because we shot several different backgrounds [...]
What I did for Chinese New Year
Happy Chinese New Year to all the Chinese people out there! This year has been a quiet CNY for me and I’ve been spending time at home watching DVDs and doing work on the computer. Actually my mind is focused on the projects that I will be working on in the near future. I’m also [...]
Raw portrait of Nicky
I used a SB-900 with umbrella above and in front of her, and a SB-800 with diffuser directly behind her. Also reflector under her face. I ‘d like to know how you feel when you look at this image. For me, I want to keep staring at it for some reason..

In other words, I am working on broadening my scope of photography. I also recently bought a SB-900 and a SB-800, and two white umbrellas. [...]
Engaged: Hanaa & Hafeez (my younger brother!)
So I shot a very nice couple who recently got engaged. And he’s my younger brother Jiwah.. who’s getting married to Hanaa.. and he’s converted to a Muslim and changing his name to Hafiz. I’m proud of him. He’s the first one in our family to get married, so this is really an occasion. So [...]
Christmas in Penang and a Happy New Year!
Looking back, the last quarter of 2008 was fantastic for me. I became single again, had a few big assignments, did a couple of photo talks, a couple of photo workshops, travelled all over Malaysia, picked up pipe smoking, made a lot of new friends, found new loving relationships, spent Christmas in Penang, and I [...]
