Photographing Marie and Leslie on film at East Coast just gave me a warm fuzzy feeling. When I received the photos after development, my first thought was - wow some of these photographs gave off a very Japan/Japanese vibe. Maybe it was their carefreeness, maybe it was the colours, or maybe it was a little of everything. The feeling was as warm as the weather was… and that immediately brought me right back to Singapore lol.

Mu En and I have been good wedding industry friends since we met a couple of years ago. As you may or may not know, she is a prominent make up artist! When she approached me to photograph her fiance and herself for their pre-wedding session as well as actual day celebration,...

Probably Levin and my most ambitious film session yet - because of how much effort it was from the couple, who wanted to replicate the 80s wedding vibe. From selecting a wedding dress/suit from that era, to sourcing for a vintage car, it was really thoroughly thought out. We also had the chance to photograph....

Always happy to be photographing familiar faces! This time, our graduated couple Julia and Hui Ren. Julia is also a fan of film and I am glad this time she’s behind the camera.

It was third-time lucky for Francine and Dominic, who had to postpone their pre-wedding shoot due to different reasons. It was incredibly fun to chat with them and find out that on top of our common interest in film, they also had the same taste in interior design as me!

Marie and Ghim Choon is probably our wildest couple this year yet, by far. When I sent in the photos for development, I already had an inkling on how their photographs would turn out. It was totally, 100%, naturally them in full candor. We had only a little creative input and they were off on their way!

It is always a bonus of photographing at a place I’ve not shot before. Couple that with photographing on film and we have a double bliss! D + R wanted to explore their neighborhood and its surroundings, to capture little photographic momentos of their daily lives for the future, and I was more than happy to do so on the 35mm format.

Clara and Elvin wanted an old, nostalgic film photography session for their pre-wed session, reminiscent of 80s and 90s Hong Kong films in the mould of Wong Kar Wai style. After much shuffling back and forth with crazy ideas and venue discussions, we finally settled for Tiong Bahru and Chinatown.

For all of its imperfections, I find perfection in the simplicity of photographing on film.

Because of how easy we can get out of focus photographs, blurred photographs or even rubbish light leaks, film photography is definitely not for everyone. But deep down, if you truly embrace the imperfections, then that makes you one of us.
