Its our tradition that every Lunar new year, we will dress up freash and new. Like the new year year song，穿新衣，戴新帽。

For this new year I decided to photograph my two children; Alvin and Ayumi, and my wife Nicole.

I set up our studio in our bedroom, lighting led by a window and defuse by a white curtain, shot with my trusted Canon 40D and EF 50mm f1.4.

The results came out very nice, and i would like to share with you all some of my favourite shots.

I have Just won a consulation price at the ” Colour of Nature” photo contest organized by Borneo Highland Resort. It was open for Foreinous and Malaysian, they receied approx. 400 enteries, i am lucky enough to be selected, i only manage to send in 5 images, as i went photography Borneo Highland for only half day, i just hope that i can spend more time on the location, it is very beautiful sites. This are my winning shot, which i shoot at the Swan Lake, i waited for half an hour for the duck to swim into my framing.

I woke up at 3am this morning and drive from my home to Borneo Highland Resort, it took me 1 hour to reached at the main entrance, we need to wait for the resort transport to take us up to the resort area, its another 30min ride. The place are similar with Kinabalu Park. i took some scenic photo and i have post some of my favorite photo.

I have been working on Pei Ni & Choi’s album after came back from Louis Pang Takebackurlife workshop. Before the workshop, i use to spend one whole week to complete an album design. Now i am confidently told my client i can deliver an album in there days time.

Now i can afford to spend more times with my family, go for movies, shopping……..My wife is happy, my children are happy, my clients are happy and i am happy.

I try to implement things i have learn from the workshop for this album, the album is in 8″X12″ Portrait format, so you are viewing on two pages .

It took me quite a while to decided to attend Louis Pang;  “Takebackurlife”  workshop  in KL. My friend actually offer to teach me how to do photo retouching so that i don’t waste money to come to KL. The fees is very high for me to go to KL, cause i need to spend on flight tickets, hotel & transport, min spending RM 3000 for me to attend this workshop. (I can buy a new Lens with this money).

But i have decided to go, and i glad i did. It was worth every cents of it. for the past two and half days, i know i have make the right choice. The workshop was not only about photo retouching, its about how to do business in wedding photography industry, how to be deferent from others.

Louis Pang has share with us his successful stories and how he did it from a small town (Tawau) wedding photographer to international wedding photographer. He told us to set our value, our passion, our dream of photography business. At first i started shooting wedding photography because i am passioned in photography, it is my hobby but then if i only know how to take beautiful wedding photos is not enough to survived, I want to be successful, to earn money for my family.

From the workshop, Louis has show us the path way to build up our business, how to do marketing. He show us how to manage our work flow, so that we will have more times to do business planning and spend more time with family.

For me this is the best photography workshop and it’s worth much more. I just want to say thank you to Louis Pang to have this workshop available, it will took me years to learn all this but you have show us the bright path to full fill my dream. Thank You!
