Amidst the gloomy outlook over the past few days (being down with flu and all) I received some good news which cheered me up a little. I submitted 4 images for the International Photography Awards (IPA) a few months back, of which 2 of them received Honorable Mention! Obviously it is disappointing not to get the top prizes but considering there were nearly 15,000 submissions from 103 countries across the globe. Coming up against so many top photographers worldwide and appearing in the honorable mention list ain’t too shabby anymore if you ask me
IPA is a sister-effort of the Lucie Foundation, where the top three winners are announced at the annual Lucie Awards gala ceremony. The Foundation’s mission is to honor master photographers, to discover new and emerging talent and to promote the appreciation of photography. Since 2003, IPA has had the privilege and opportunity to acknowledge and recognize contemporary photographers’ accomplishments in this specialized and highly visible competition. Visit www.photoawards.com for more details.
Here are the 2 shots that got into the Honorable Mention list.
Honorable Mention in People – Children category for the winning entry “Joy”
Honorable Mention in People – Wedding category for the winning entry “Unwavering Love”
I blogged about a casual photoshoot I took part in with Amos a while back. It’s not about the makeup, gowns or suits. There’s no inhibition, no fear, no restrictions, only true love, as is. We call it, Love.Actually! Enjoy the slideshow
Some shots to share from Daniel & Yvonne’s wedding day. Amazingly, I have another couple next year called Daniel & Yvon (sans the ne at the back). These names must be a heavenly match!
As mentioned in an earlier post, I am starting a series of before and after (editing) shots, to show everyone how to enhance and image to give it a little more punch. I won’t be able to tell you the exact steps I took to achieve the image, cos i probably don’t remember, but if you have any questions on the logic of why I edit in a certain way, feel free to post your views and I will try my best to answer them if i can.
I was fortunate enough to be able to cover one of the last weddings held in CHIJMES. It was a beautiful evening with a beautiful setting and I hope my images have done the lovely event justice. Here’s some preview shots for the lovely couple.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Due to a rather packed schedule for the year, it is quite hard for me to do up any overseas promotions. However, there's usually less jobs during the Lunar 7th month period and if you guys are not superstitious and would wish to have your bridal / casual photos taken overseas during said period. Feel free to email me with your ideas and proposals.
