Every time things become monotonous for me, I like to switch things up and try something new. I am a huge street photography fan. I believe it’s possibly the purest and highest form of photography when done well. Anyone who tried it, knows it’s very awkward to photograph…

Last week, spend 8 day in a row, 10 hours a day, redesigning my portfolio website. Something funny happened in the last day or two. I started to question my branding and profession. Now, I am remaking the whole website and I don’t intend on making any changes. Why? Keep reading…

First underwater photography shoot with film

Digital underwater photography is difficult as it is. Even with a direct feedback from the preview monitor, achieving consistent results if a challenge. Lighting, composition, communication are the challenges I’m currently most focused on. I only tried a few light setups before…

Morning or evening blogging?
Morning or evening blogging?

I made the personal pact to try and write on a daily basis. Now the first day is done and gone, actually have to think about what and how. This morning, the first thought that I had was if I should write as a morning routine or as an evening routine. Let me try and set…

Website Update

Aside from the occasional portfolio update, I haven’t touched the website in over 2 years and a half, seeing the last blog entry was July 12, 1017. Well, I’m trying again. I see it more as a daily journal. But don’t quote me on that. I will try to document through written form, my daily occupations. So, new website! Let’s check it out. …

Kodak TriX 400 - MamiyaRZ Pro II - Simulating Natural Light

Days are getting shorter. Weather is getting colder. This week I am lazy. So I thought a simple shoot, in front of my balcony window would be a nice idea. A few hours before the arrival of the subject, I metered the light...

Fuji Pro 400H - Mamiya RZ67 Pro II - Environmental Portraits

In my first video, I shot a roll of Fuji 400H. But felt I didn't do it justice. I developed the roll myself. It was my first time trying and it didn't turn out as good as I thought. I also felt my method was too inconsistent. Many frames were...
