I am on Her World Brides December issue. I am excited when I saw the latest copy at the petrol kiosk. Why so excited…you might be wondering? That’s because Scintilla Studio is being featured! Wohoo…since we are on this topic, I should blog a little about myself.

For many who knows me…I am not your usual full time photographer. I am like a full time weekend photographer coz most of my jobs are taken over the weekends and thats also because I hold a full time job. :-) Photography came as a chance. It was my current boss (Sebastian Tan) who had an influence over me when he showed me a really bulky canon camera back then in 2007. I saved enough money and got my first camera…a Nikon D80.

It was just a hobby for me then…I practically shot everything I saw…spent a lot of my weekends attending classes and made many new friends. My sis-in-law got married and I volunteered to be her photographer. I was lucky then as the main photographer (Kwang from Lightbox Productions) didn’t mind my presence and I thought I blocked some of his angles but he was professional. Anyway, the shots I did was awful..hahaha… That assignment got me hooked and I started posted on forums and shot for free (yes…I shot for free!). Response wasn’t that great as I told them that I am still learning but yet…some couples gave me the chance which I am grateful. I shot for almost a year before I started charging. That was also when I first met Audrey and Woo Yee…who gave me the first paid assignment. They also recommended few of their friends to me which I covered their weddings as well.

Back then, I did not have a proper website, meet customers at Macdonalds without a proper album and a crappy laptop. Well…at least now I meet clients at the comfort of my home office…allow couples to run through albums and looked through images through my computer. :-)

I couldn’t have come so far without your support and I will continue to strive for better picture quality while maintaining a reasonable fee for the effort made. For all that granted me an opportunity…let me take this chance to say a really big “Thank you!”.
