My Photographer's Wet Dream Photograph

I am a freelance writer and photographer born in Singapore. I spend approximately 300 days a year traversing the world with my trusty sidekick: my beloved Rimowa. Food, travel, landscape and monochrome photography are my deepest passions. I have been interested in photography since my youth and over the years it has evolved from shooting ordinary landscape photos to more introspective monochromatic scenes.   This change was inspired by a quote by Ted Grant “If you photograph people in black and white you photograph their souls, but if you photograph them in colour you photograph their clothes.”   My favourite scenes are melancholic and pensive in nature. I am fascinated with juxtaposing scenes of architecture or depictions of people or animals; moments which seem to stand still like the delicate balance of a dancer paused mid-leap, reflecting one's deepest moods or emotions.   Although the techniques and equipment may vary with each project, the emotions, drama and passion are the unwavering constants.   My works have appeared on Asian Food Network, Eater, Singapore Airlines’ SilverKris in-flight magazine, Le Cordon Bleu and The Smart Local (Singapore & Malaysia). Additionally, my passion has led to the creation of my own coffee table book, capturing moments in the lives of both agricultural and hospitality players titled, Behind The Scenes : Lives of These Unsung Heroes.
