Category Archives: PRE-WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHYOther than Europe and Australia, this is my second time doing a Pre-Wedding shoot in South-East Asia, outside of Singapore and Sri Lanka. I would die to shoot a wedding in India! Pensive Vs curious. There’s an honest beauty to shooting in South-East Asia, its everywhere you turn   by mtan2 no comments
 I thought… “what car? Oh… the bridal car!” It was raining, the sky was a tad grey. We arranged to meet up again and perhaps grab a few more shots at the hotel’s sheltered carporch. The basement carpark maybe a bit of drab. Then it dawned on me – CHIJMES! Just around the corner of Carlton Hotel, where M and CY’s wedding lunch was held earlier. I waited for the couple to turn in, and immediately, WOW! It’s a red 1965 MGB GT! This is gonna be so swell. I am a sucker for vintage cars, heritage cars, all those sexy curves and cute proportions. It was drizzling quite a bit so we had to do this really fast. I wasn’t thinking very much, just went with intuition, and went viral. CY felt slightly awkward, but M’s smiles and giggles really made a difference to the atmosphere and the pictures. All the elements perfectly blended together – the dull drizzles VS M’s smiles, the old GT against the backdrop of Chijmes, the red of the car and the red of the Chinese Kua, and the cobbled floor.
                  Amazing that the stranger in the background is wearing the Union Jack, same as the little plate on CY’s car!

        by mtan2 no comments The weather lately has been rather gloomy, with with the haze and thunderstorms. Up till last night I was wondering how today’s photos would turn out, and how to make the best of the situation, because a rainy day can bring lots of interesting, unexpected images! We’re taking a break in-between the shoot right now, here are some images that were shot earlier.
   by mtan2 no comments When you photograph a close friend, things get more intimate and personal. You know her taste, her style, her favourite colours, and after having grown up with her for so many years, you also know her best angles. This shoot has taught me alot about how to bring an emotive aspect into pictures, how to think, and feel with each photo and edit. Here are the pre-wedding photos of my dear friend Lesley, and her soon-hubby, HP, photographed in Berlin. It’s was a really wonderful experience putting on camera two people I love, in a beautiful city, with a group of friends who came along. Thank you guys!
