World Music Festival 2008 Penang – Day 1

This event is done and over with, though it was a very nice and enjoyable one. Too bad it’s not happening in Penang again, I do hope someone will bring it back again in the future. I like shooting stage performances for a few reasons, first of the performance is interesting, the lights are colorful and vibrant, and of course if the stage is well decorated that would be a plus. It’s all about capturing the atmosphere and emotions of the performers, the performance itself and of course the audience.

This is one of my favorite collections, I did not have any fancy L lens or speedlite back then, and was actually still quite fresh in photography at the time, but hey I think I did a pretty darn good job, do tell me if you think otherwise.

Here are some reprocessed photos from day 1 of the performance, I forgot the bands names already, anyone who remembers don’t hesitate to let me know.

Loneliness

Had some fun with our pretty model Ling last weekend, she was as professional as a budding model can be. Above all else, she was cooperative and willing to try different things. Check back for the collection.

Relaunch of Aperture

Aperture has been running for over two years now, mainly as my personal photoblog and sharing of some photography tips. After four years of getting involved in photography I have seen the growth in both my photography skills and post processing skills, and with that I think I should do justice to the content of this website by ‘remastering’ the photos I have taken so far. As such I have removed previous content and will be reposting the ‘remastered’ versions to my Flickr account as well as on this website.

Anyone who would be interested to engage my photography services may contact me using my contact form, you may also checkout my calendar on available free dates for photoshoots.

I hope you will continue to support my humble journey in the world of photography, and lastly enjoy the photos!
