    John Maxwell in Manila

    It was a great opportunity to cover a speaking engagement of none other than John Maxwell, someone who I look up to and whose books have inspired me. What makes this event special is the context behind it. In a rare occasion John Maxwell delivers his talk in Manila in front of one of the largest gathering of police, military and agents along with their respective leaders, a branch of the government that holds a strong leadership potential. With the presidential elections coming up, the need to find an excellent and authentic leader is ever more crucial. John reminds his listeners of the need to be intentional in leading one…

    December is usually busy season for wedding photographers, but last year I was glad that me and my wife were able to find a day during the busy season to get away from all the busyness.

    Sunset Companion

    I wanted to take a photo of the last sunset of 2014 and at the same time take a moment to reminisce about the many happenings this year, but I happened to share my spot with a lone traveler and we ended up chatting and enjoying the sunset together. In the end we each took each others’ portrait and greeted each other a happy new year before parting ways. We did not exchange contacts, just hoping we would see each other again someday. For now he will be to me a friend who I shared a sunset with.

    Sam and Nika – Chinese Engagement

    I believe in having fun during weddings and engagements, especially in Chinese engagements where most people are quiet and stiff during the ceremony, a little laughter can lift the mood and make it a more memorable event. I notice that the mood of the guest almost always reflect the personality of the couple and their families, whenever I have a happy couple, I get to catch more happy and laughing candids of the guests, it is true that laughter is contagious. So whenever it’s your turn to have a Tinghun, don’t worry, the ceremony is simple and it can actually be fun. I greatly admire the food and service of…

I’m always amazed at how the rain can be like a portal to the world of reflections and how it opens up multiple possibilities in making an image unique. See more at the silhouettes gallery
