Photography
A point of view
I firmly believe that all things have visual beauty to offer. Whether you see it or not depends on your point of view.

My interest in photography began during my high school years. I had an intense passion for art and photography but there was only occasional access to a borrowed camera. All this changed when I moved to the UK and acquired a professional camera and a couple of lenses. Over the next decade I travelled extensively and taught myself through mistakes and experimentation.
In 2005 I received a boost when a corporate in London bought a themed set of pictures for their offices. This encouraged me to pursue photography more seriously after moving to Singapore. I remain self-taught, having had no formal instruction in the techniques or tools of photography.
Philosophy and credo
I am a purist and remain faithful to the truth and spontaneity of what I see and capture on film, presenting the moment to the viewer pure and unchanged. My portfolio is eclectic: its canvas stretches from Mongolia to Argentina, Norway to Vietnam, and its subjects range from people and animals to nature and architecture.
