Chan Family | Bali Family Portrait

Client: Chan Family
Location: Villa Atas Ombak Seminyak
Destination: Bali, Indonesia

Taking family portrait pictures is not as easy as people imagine. It is also not as easy as taking wedding photos, especially if the family has a kid. Grace and Alan is a young couple who contacted me and asked me to do a family photo shoot in Bali, they are come from Hongkong and they came to Bali for Grace brother’s wedding in Seminyak. So, while they’re in Bali, they use this moment to do a family photo shoot a day before the wedding. This family photo shoot was held at Villa Atas Ombak, Seminyak. We chose to take photos at around in villa and the beach also because that’s what makes the photos look more beautiful. During the photo shoot session, Grace and Alan took turn to cheer Lanny, their 1,5 years old daughter. They tried to make Lanny happy and in a good mood during the photo shoot. A plastic ball toy was good enough to make her not to cry and of course a bottle of milk. 

Keeping a toddler in a good mood is not an easy job. I just let Lanny do what she wanted and enjoyed what she was doing and took candid pictures when she was smiling or laughing. I had to be really patient to be able to take her photos in the best moments. Little kids are hard to direct or to ask them to pose, letting them playing and enjoy their moments are the best way to keep them in a good mood. Then when I see a smile, I go closet to them and take photos as many as I can. Two hours felt like a whole day. It was a tiring photo shoot session, but it was fun. Here are some of the pictures.

Capturing Love: Daniel and Silvana's Bali Vacation

Capturing love through the lens of a camera is a beautiful art, and on this occasion, I had the privilege of doing just that for Daniel and Silvana a charming couple hailing all the way from Austria. This was my second time photographing a couple from Austria, and it was a delight to capture their love story amidst the picturesque landscapes of Bali. Daniel had a special surprise in store for his beloved Silvana, as it happened to be her birthday that day. He chose to commemorate the occasion with a photography session that would capture their love and the natural beauty of Bali as the backdrop. Following Daniel's request, we embarked on our photography adventure in the late afternoon. Our first stop was the lush and vibrant rice fields of Canggu. The emerald green expanse of the fields provided a tranquil setting that perfectly complemented the couple's love for one another. As the sun began its descent towards the horizon, we made our way to the serene Nyanyi Beach, a seclude

Sandy + Fadli Prewedding | Cappadocia Turkey Engagement Photography

As a photographer who loves all gender of photography, it is very easy for me to love Istanbul. The stunning landscape, unique culture, adorned and beautiful architectures are in every corner of the city. After a week seeing the glory of the past and the grandiose civilisation in Istanbul with my beloved friends, Sandy and Fadli, now it was time to explore Pamukkale and Cappadocia/Goreme. In Denizli province we only visited the Cleopatra thermal bath, the beautiful Pamukkale calcium travertine/terraces, and Hierapolis building one of the sites of UNESCO world heritage center, you must visit these places when you are in Turkey. In Cappadocia or Kapadokya in Turkish, we live in Goreme the heart of Cappadocia National Park. Goreme is a beautiful town with an unique landscape, it's mind blowing. Cappadocia cannot be separated from ceramics, carpets and hot air balloon. I was very lucky now I could see and get on the balloon just like what I saw on book covers or desktop w
