The new studio has separate rooms for lounge/guests and reception. With the new studio we are now more equiped to carry out commercial and corporate shoots beside our regular family, children and personal portrait shoots.

I had the honour to photographed Allan recently for his graduation photography. He graduated from a university from Ireland and hence the green scarf on the gown. The university does not provide a graduation hat. For this shoot, he requested that his family and relatives be in the photos. Other Graduation photos link

I had a wonderful time shooting for a family on Sunday. You can never imagine how much coaxing I have to do to get the the boy and girl to look at the camera. One second they would look into the camera and the next they would giggle and their eyes would be off the camera. Anyway the two kids were fun to shoot as at least none of them cried which was an experience I had one time. In these photos, I have rendered them like canvas and this is how parents would usually print in a series of three to hang on the wall.

Here are some photos for a family photo shoot at my studio recently for a lovely lady with her daughter and son. I had a bit of difficulty initially try to get the best composition for their family portrait as the lady wasn't very tall. We finally settled for the standing pose.

I had my first graduation portrait shoot at my studio for a graduate from NUS (National University of Singapore). He found me through google after shopping around. It's interesting to hear from him that the graduation shoot from the preferred studios as recommended by NUS is charging alot more compared to my rate. This young chap told me he did the shoot for his parents who came along to the shoot. I am very sure his parents were very proud of the moment. He heads off to the U.S. on the weekend for a six month work attachment. Good luck and enjoy your work Yogest. Other Graduation photos link

The shoot was done for the National University of Singapore Bash competition organised by NUSSU and PRU to be held on 30th January 2010. The photos will be used in their publicity campaign to promote the event at their campus, students' network and Facebook. Two days before the New Year, I must say it was the biggest shoot I have ever embarked on. The roll call started at 8.30am and the team of NUS Bash committee has arrived at my studio with the first pair of contestants to shoot. There are to be a total of seven pairs of contestants to shoot from seven faculties from the university. They are Arts, Business, Engineering, Law, Medicine, Science and SDE. I understand Dentistry had to pull out at the last minute. With the arrival of the contingent, my makeup artist and hairstylist was no where in sight. ...

My first photography studio is opened today. It is located at Braddell Tech at Toa Payoh. Since moving back to Singapore in August, an opportunity arise that I could possibly open a photo studio. Within weeks I made the decision to proceed and embark on this new experience, an opportunity to start my own business and continue to pursue my love for photography. While the studio undergo renovation, I went on a study and planning of my first studio, the setup required and equipment. With the completion of the studio, I had my first shoot with a model from an agency on 1 Oct 2009. The next step is to build the business through promotion and marketing.
