Polka dot flares are not something I expected to encounter after years of shooting directly into the sun. While testing an unreleased lens on my Leica CL, I noticed a series of organised red circular flare patterns appearing only at smaller apertures. Curious about the cause, I compared results across multiple cameras and formats, eventually tracing the behaviour to sensor design and on-sensor phase detection. This post documents that accidental discovery and what I learned f

After going through several system changes, here are the curated list of latest camera gears, equipment and technology stuffs that currently suite my production and creative needs.

The First Batch of 12" x 15" Prints is finally ready. This release includes prints on Ilford Gallerie Fineart Textured Silk and semigloss photo paper based on request. Black and white images look deep and rich on the textured silk, while colour photos take on a soft, watercolour-like feel. Semigloss brings out more shine and clarity. Each print comes with a 2" x 4" mat board, bringing the framed size to about 18" x 25".

I’m thrilled to share that one of my images was officially licensed and featured on National Geographic Portugal. Seeing my photo published on Nat Geo as their Photo of the Day was surreal — a small milestone that makes me feel like a National Geographic photographer, even if I didn’t trek rainforests or photograph exotic wildlife. It’s a reminder that photography often travels further than you imagine.

Step behind the scenes of my latest BASSBOSS commercial product photography project, where I documented the launch of the towering Sublim8. At nearly three meters tall, this was one of the most challenging and exciting product shoots I’ve handled to date. From planning the lighting to capturing its scale and presence, this project pushed my creativity while showcasing the precision and impact of large-scale commercial product work.

My recent assignment took me to Perhentian Island for the first time, just before the monsoon season. The trip was a mix of logistics, light packing challenges, and quiet reflection at the airport. Amid the rush, I was reminded how composition often comes from subconscious observation — isolating frames from endless possibilities. This Perhentian Island photography journey was both a creative and personal reminder of why remote assignments are always worth it.

Proud to share my corporate photography for Micron Technology, commissioned through W3RK Agency, now published in their Sustainability Report 2025. Spanning five days, the project covered exteriors, workplace culture, diversity, career benefits, sign language, and sustainability. Each image was created to reflect Micron’s high-end branding while telling authentic stories of people, spaces, and values that define the company.

I’m proud to share that my image is now published on the Millen Hotel website. Thank you to the client for trusting me with the creative direction and lifestyle hospitality photography. This project was about more than capturing spaces—it was about promoting the hotel’s “see & feel” culture, artist artworks, sustainability efforts, suites, and history. Lifestyle hospitality photography creates visuals that let guests experience the story even before they arrive.

The recent OCBC campaign where my image was licensed reminded me how crucial it is to practice sustainability in photography. Licensing is often overlooked, but it plays a key role in keeping our industry fair and creative. It allows photographers to stay motivated, ensures clients are charged fairly based on usage, and helps sustain photography as a craft and profession in the long run.

I’m excited to share that my image was recently licensed by Sasandalp for OCBC Bank’s latest campaign, published in The Edge. The featured photo of the Penang Bridge reflects OCBC’s message of “Local Expertise, Regional Strength,” connecting communities and opportunities across Malaysia. It’s always fulfilling to see photography transcend personal projects and become part of wider campaigns that carry meaning and inspire growth.

Seeing my work on such a grand scale is a proud milestone. One of my recent images, shot for a renowned property developer, is now displayed as a 37ft x 10ft balcony view in their sales gallery. This piece holds the title of my second largest print, just behind a 32ft x 25ft image of Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion. At this size, the image offers a truly immersive experience for anyone stepping into the space.

To photograph a construction site with intention is to go beyond documentation—it’s about storytelling through light. By choosing the right time of day—blue hour for softness, golden hour for drama—you can transform raw, chaotic spaces into visual narratives of progress. Techniques like black and white conversion elevate structure and shape, making even temporary builds feel architectural and purposeful.
