Mirror Image

I was one of the lucky seventy photographers invited by the Mayor of Beijing in 2000 to participate in the “World Photographers Focusing On Beijing” (a project for China’s 2008 Olympic application). One of the events that we covered during our stay in Beijing was that of Beijing Opera. This was one of the favourite images that I captured during the make-up session backstage. I was able to capture handheld, the mirror image of the well-lit performer with ambient light.

Final Adjustment

The International Balloon Fiesta in Bristol celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 2003. I was there to photograph this exciting colourful event earlier in year 2000. I was able to get near to the launching site to capture the image from a good vantage point.

Hear the Bird Sings

One of the hobbies that Singaporean enjoys is hearing the birds sing especially during the weekends. The gathering provides good opportunity for photojournalism. This image was captured in 1996 when I was involved with the publication of “Singapore Today”. A similar one was printed in the ST. I like the expressions of the people, and the natural setting of the picture. I think the story content is essential for this kind of picture. Unfortunately due to renovation of the buildings in the backdrop, this group of people does not have the session here anymore. Your critiques and comments are much appreciated.
