Products
The perfect product requires the perfect mood for a buyer.
The standard snap and shoot photo for products won’t tell a story. Setting up the composition and style of the shot while weaving your message throughout it will make your products feel alive. The beauty of creating these stunning product shots were essentially where my love of photography truly began.
Portraits
I’ve taken portraits of artists, musicians, models, and everyday people.
I consider lighting, composition, body language, energy, and the message my client needs to achieve. I go as deep as eye positioning, shoulder angles, waking up for a shot during sunrise or even putting myself at risk if I have to. I look for synergy between the surrounding and my subject. Getting people to feel comfortable during a photo shoot is a specialty of mine.
I love to bringing out the best in people.
Industry hero Tham Khai at Miami Ad School
Ogilvy’s Global Executive Creative Director and Miami Ad School Board Member Tham Khai Meng inspired the students during the #IndustryHero series.
He gave a passionate speech about persuasive creativity and offered his guidance to many students. I had the pleasure of receiving great advice and photographing the man himself.
Martial Training
Training in Martial Arts has defined who I am.
Anuar Morad is one of my first friends at Miami Ad School. We hit it off based on our interest in Martial Arts. On Mondays, Anuar and I would cross train in unarmed and armed combat techniques.
I asked him to show me his exceptional swordsmanship work and we did this photoshoot together. It's with a bokken - a wooden training sword. Our next shoot was with a real one. A dramatic look in the first image is what it is suppose to feel like when you have a sword in your face. Distracting.
Lifestyle Photography
Shooting lifestyle photography makes me smell the roses in my life.
I capture moments to relive them.
Most of these photos were taken from my Samsung S4 on Instagram because it’s lighter than my Canon T3i. But I shoot everyday in order to practice my craft.
