Looks like the New Year is upon us once again. Holidays over and its time to get back on the groove. My first assignment this is a very nice French Wine Bar. Take a look. Courtesy of Expat Living Singapore...
Learn MoreCheck out some of the images I took of smoke. A very simple setup of a incense stick, a single light source to the left of the camera (light beam perpendicular to the camera) and a black background. Oh, some ambience music will bring the whole experience to a very zen state. In post processing, I inverted the images, thus the white background. Enjoy … Thank you for...

Learn MoreI’ve recently conducted a product workshop and would like to show off some of the images taken. This is a basic product workshop on how to light and control the light to get a well balanced product/still life shot.

By the way, the flower was actually upside...

I guess the reflection is a bit unreal and it is but what the hell, a little bit of surreality creates interesting images. I could have done a better job at masking...

I then used some white foam board to reflect the light back onto the from of the bottles. I also used a couple of black board to give the bottles some...

Light painting is a fascinating art. This is as close as physical art as photography gets. It is one of those projects that the outcomes is as much a surprise as in the old film days.

Chocolate. Not a fantastic image. A simple image. Well, it looks simple but I had quite a few moments just arranging the chocolate pieces to get a “just right” look. Still looks a bit off.
