What are you up to at the moment?

I am currently working on commercial projects that usually includes fashion, products, interior, as well as food photo projects. I am also a trainer in a photogra-phy company.

What were the inspirations behind your pho-tography?

I am inspired by the things I observe around myself such as people, cities, buildings, current trends and culture. I also took inspiration from a talented product photog-rapher named Ray Massey because of the complexity of his photos that I find challenging. Every time I take pho-tos or edited them, I try to incorporate all my inspira-tions and experiences of photography to produce photosthat suits not only my preference but also the clients needs.

Do you have any pre-photo shoot rituals?

I dont have any pre-photo shoot in particular. If any things I would do, I would probably just preparing the utilities needed for a photo shoot.

So what would your most interesting experi-ence in photography be? tell us tell us!

I had lots of interesting experiences in photography because for me each of the photography projects are unique and might not occur twice. Therefore, I tried to grab the moments every time Im involved in photogra-phy projects. One of

my unforgettable experience was that when I visited a high rise building, Eu-reka Tower in Melbourne. I was at the floor of 88 and was trying to capture Melbourne city landscape from high above. It was a stunning view but be-cause of the height of the floor, I was freaked out but still managed to take pictures anyway. That was one of my unforgettable experience while I was doing photography.

What is the most desirable cam-era to you?

I am currently working with Canon 5D MKII, but in my opinion any camera

Happy Chinese New Year! Which also known as Spring Festival in China itself. Really dont know what to share about this Chinese New Year thingy. Not familiar indeed, ha! All I know, when I spent last Lunar New Year in Chengdu, China, theres no such thing like Barongsai, Liong, or any kind of celebration there, really let me down, because Ive planned to have an unforgettable experience in lunar home town, but when it ended, 15 days exactly after the day, there was a lantern festival. A moment when a whole city covered by yellow-reddish light, pretty, shinny, and of course amazing experience at last.

Maybe you dont start this year with a good story, but well, who cares, when you end things with some kind bright, stunning, shinny, glowing stuff?! Its not about how you start it, but how you end things.

Cheers,
