It received fantastic engagement, with photographers sharing their own experiences, asking questions, and discussing their favourite techniques for capturing the moon.

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.

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 HDB cat photos...]]></description><link>https://artofshan.wixsite.com/photography/post/from-hdb-void-decks-to-nikon-singapore</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a502f59cb673b1177c74318</guid><pubDate>Thu, 18 Jun 2026 16:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/272b88_dfac41a47b9d4939a59e1692b93fcf4a~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Shan</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Photo, A Story, and A Second Place Finish]]></title><description><![CDATA[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.

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 night sky.

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 environmental...]]></description><link>https://artofshan.wixsite.com/photography/post/capturing-cats-at-home-with-nikon-singapore</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69e4a9240c8d230c9e92106d</guid><pubDate>Thu, 16 Apr 2026 16:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/272b88_923c5d6fbb3c411f8dbfb7c36d36e5ff~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Shan</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[#NikonWhereImFrom Winner]]></title><description><![CDATA[I’m excited to share a personal milestone—being selected as one of the 5 winners of the Nikon Asia photography competition, #NikonWhereImFrom.

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 getting a strong...]]></description><link>https://artofshan.wixsite.com/photography/post/exploring-nikon-imaging-recipes</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69e4a6a3a96d49e56ec231e4</guid><pubDate>Fri, 03 Apr 2026 09:56:57 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/272b88_3569c6de50a94848b46499685ad911c4~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Shan</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being Featured by Nikon for Chinese New Year ]]></title><description><![CDATA[Being Featured by Nikon for Chinese New Year  During this year’s Chinese New Year, I decided to try something different with my photography.
