It's Not All Buildings
A little known fact about being a photographer is that it can get a bit lonely - especially for Architectural Photographers. We spend our days shooting the buildings, then the wee hours of the night doing the post-processing...alone!!
So it is always a treat for me to have a shoot with actual and animated people!!
Surbana Jurong commissioned me to photography their people at work. We wanted to sell the firm as the first choice for architectural and engineering grads. I have an affinity with Architects, so this gig was a breeze. And, of course, I appreciated the company!
New Digs for Bank of Tokyo
The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd celebrated their move to the landmark Marina One Building with a full-page add in the Business Times. As a part of the commission, my brief was to make their building look impressive and prominent, with a good view of their signage.
It was a challenge to isolate the building from the surrounding buildings because it gets a bit tight in that part of town, but I think we achieved the goal of presenting the building in its best light. The trees were an unexpected bonus. I expected to deliver just straight views of the building, but I discovered this view with the tree, and included it as an option. The loved it, and opted for this version. I think the leaves softened the image, while giving it a Japanese feel, reflecting the heritage of the bank nicely.
The Epic History of Swan & McClaren
I was amazed to learn that the architectural firm who designed Raffles Hotel, Stamford House and the Tanjong Pagar train station is still going strong today!
These buildings are an intrinsic part of the great Singapore tapestry that makes Singapore what it is.
Swann & MacLaren have a new book out soon that chronicles their deep roots in Singapore's history. I was commission by the firm to shoot one of their most historic buildings for the cover of their book.
It is written by the fascinating Dr Julian Davidson who I had the pleasure to work with.
Cover of the 2018 Goodwood Hotel Calendar
The annual calendar at the Goodwood Park Hotel is a big deal for the marketing department. Every year they go to great pains to make sure every image in it represents their hotel in the very best light.
I usually have two or three images somewhere in the contents, but it has been a secret desire of mine to have my image on the cover. And this year, I had the honor to find this in my mailbox. My first Goodwood Park Hotel calendar cover!! I can finally tick that off my bucket list!
B&H Architects: Changi Hospital
My work features prominently on the B&H Architects' website. I worked closely with the B+H Architect's team to create images of the Integrated Building at Changi General Hospital. You can click on the image to visit their website.
