Featured by Nikon Singapore for Moon Photography 🌕
One of my recent moon photography tips was featured by Nikon Singapore, and I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to share what I've learned with a wider community of photographers. What made this even more special was seeing how much the post resonated with people. It received fantastic engagement, with photographers sharing their own experiences, asking questions, and discussing their favourite techniques for capturing the moon. It's always rewarding to know that a si

A Small Moment, A Big Milestone
Every now and then, a photo ends up meaning more than you expected. Recently, I had the opportunity to have one of my photographs featured on Visit Singapore's Instagram account. The image was a shot of an otter taken at the Singapore Zoo, and seeing it shared on such a large platform was both exciting and humbling. Photography has a funny way of rewarding patience and curiosity. Sometimes the photos you plan meticulously for don't quite work out, while the ones you capture i

From HDB Void Decks to Nikon Singapore
Some of the first subjects I ever photographed weren't famous landmarks or exotic wildlife—they were the stray cats living around my HDB estate. Back then, I simply enjoyed observing them. Every cat had its own personality. Some were curious, some were shy, while others confidently posed as if they knew they were being photographed. They became my practice subjects, teaching me patience, timing, and how to work with natural light. I never imagined that years later, those same

A Photo, A Story, and A Second Place Finish
Photography often begins with curiosity. Curiosity to explore, to observe, and to see f amiliar places in a different way. Sometimes that curiosity leads to photographs that become more meaningful than you ever expected. Recently, I was honoured to receive 2nd prize in The Wild We See Photography Competition organised by the Youth Corps SG Sustainability Cluster. When I first submitted the image, I wasn't thinking about awards or results. I simply wanted to share a moment tha

Getting Featured by Nikon Singapore for my Moon Photography
One of the most exciting moments in my photography journey was having one of my moon photographs featured by Nikon Singapore. As someone who enjoys nature and travel photography, seeing my work recognized by a brand like Nikon felt both surreal and incredibly rewarding. The image was captured handheld using the Nikon Z50II paired with the NIKKOR Z 180–600mm f/5.6–6.3 VR lens. No tripod, no complicated setup — just patience, timing, and a lot of time spent looking up at the ni

Capturing Cats at Home with Nikon Singapore
I’ve been spending more time doing one of my favourite things—pet cat photography. There’s something special about photographing cats in their own space. They’re expressive, calm one moment and playful the next, and every little movement feels intentional. You don’t really pose them—you observe, wait, and react to what unfolds naturally. For this shoot, I used the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8 VR. It’s my go-to for flexibility. The zoom range makes it easy to switch between wider

#NikonWhereImFrom Winner
I’m excited to share a personal milestone—being selected as one of the 5 winners of the Nikon Asia photography competition, #NikonWhereImFrom. What makes this even more meaningful is how it started. Last year, on my birthday, I made a simple wish—to one day win a photography competition. I submitted the entry without expecting much, but somehow, that wish found its way here. My work was selected and featured across multiple Nikon affiliate social media platforms, including Ni

Exploring Nikon Imaging Recipes
I’m excited to share a recent collaboration with Nikon Singapore to help promote Nikon Imaging Recipes . This project is all about making colour grading and creative looks more accessible straight out of camera. Instead of spending hours editing, you can apply pre-designed “recipes” in-camera to achieve consistent moods, tones, and styles that match your vision. For me, this is especially useful in the field. It lets me focus more on composition, light, and timing—while still

Being Featured by Nikon for Chinese New Year 🧧📸
Being Featured by Nikon for Chinese New Year 🧧📸 During this year’s Chinese New Year, I decided to try something different with my photography. Instead of focusing on portraits or performances, I spent time experimenting with shutter drag and capturing the small festive details that often go unnoticed. Chinese New Year is full of textures, colours, and movement. Lanterns swaying in the wind, glowing decorations, and the vibrant atmosphere of the celebrations create endless v

Being Featured on @instaSG 🇸🇬📸
Recently, one of my photos was featured on @instaSG, a community page that highlights the work of Instagram photographers from Singapore. What makes this feature meaningful is that @instaSG is built around the local photography community. It’s a space where photographers share their perspectives of Singapore, from everyday street moments to festivals and unique visual experiments. The photo that was featured actually came from a moment of experimentation. During the Chinese N

Featured on @instaSG – Flamingo in Motion 🦩
I was really happy to see one of my photos featured on @instaSG, a community that celebrates the work of Instagram photographers from Singapore. The featured image captured a dynamic moment of a Flamingo moving across the water. Instead of a calm or static pose, the bird was actively stepping forward, creating splashes and movement on the surface. Moments like this happen quickly. Wildlife photography often requires patience, but also readiness. When the flamingo started movi

Becoming a Nikon Creator 📷
One of the meaningful milestones in my photography journey was becoming a Nikon Creator as someone who has spent years learning, experimenting, and refining my craft. Being recognised by a brand that has shaped the photography industry means a lot to me. My journey with Nikon cameras started with a simple intention: to document moments that caught my eye. Over time, photography became more than just taking pictures. It became a way of observing the world more carefully—paying
