AgriFood Magazine Cover

AAFOct2012-Alliance-Highres-1

Here’s a portrait of Mr. Jonathan Dee CEO, Alliance Select which I shot and was used on Singapore-based AgriFood Magazine cover last year (sorry for the long overdue post). I had a wonderful time working with Mr. Dee, which like many personalities I photographed, was humble and easy to get along with. “Tell me what you want me to do” he said to me prior to our portrait session.

I usually do not post about my published work but this is something since this is my first magazine cover. Last but not the least, thanks too for Ms. Isa Tan of AgriFood Magazine.

Noorderlicht needs your support!

A call for help from Hester Keijser

The Dutch advisory board of The Netherlands advised the Dutch Government to cut the financial support to Noorderlicht after 2012. Half of the total Noorderlicht budget comes from the Government, this is therefore a major setback for us and might lead to the end of our activities, including the annual Photofestival.
Noorderlicht, which organizes the international photo festival and produces exhibitions & publications that reach out to audiences worldwide – including Cruel and Unusual, which I curated with Pete Brook – is facing closure. You can read more about this decision from our national board of culture here: http://www.noorderlicht.com/en/support-us/noorderlicht-faces-closure/
You can leave your comments here:  http://www.noorderlicht.com/en/support-us/

2011 in Retrospect

This post is way tooo late since I was pre-occupied with a lot of things really and I was not able to make a regular post on this blog. Perhaps last year also was when I really slowed down (it shows in the number my blog posts). My apologies to you, my readers.

2011 has been a great year for me. And although I’ve been photographing for quite a long time (since early 1990s), it was only last year when I started photographing for magazines, I was also interviewed in Camera Obscura and my work was included in the Metropolis 2.0 Exhibition in The Empty Quarter Gallery Dubai. I was likewise, accepted for Photography Workshop with Wolfgang Bellwinkel and featured in European Photography Issue 90. Indeed, that’s a lot of reasons to be thankful for!

Thanks too to a lot of people who collaborated and worked with me.

And since I live in the Philippines where we have the longest Christmas Celebration, perhaps I have a good excuse of greeting you belated Merry Christmas and wishing you all a Prosperous New Year ahead! :)
