21.04.2009 - Jung Won Korea BBQ Restaurant, Jalan Ampang

2009-04-22T23:39:00.009+08:00

This is my 3rd visit to this restaurant. Xiu Jun, Chloe & I had planned to pay this restaurant a visit for a long time but it is so difficult to arrange a date which everyone is available. Therefore, I decided to prepare my lecturing note in advance to spare my Tuesday for this dinner.

The environment there is superb and I'm sure you will love it if you see it yourselves. The food there is great as well because you can taste traditional korean BBQ meal but it is a bit pricy. However, I still think it's still worth for it.

FYI, there is a korean karaoke session during weekend. You can actually listen the korean sing while you are having your meal. I'm sure you will enjoy the food and the environment there. Feel free to pay there a visit. Share some of my shots taken on that night.

31.01.2009 - Dong Zhan Shi Temple CNY Decoration

2009-01-31T03:08:00.000+08:00

Dong Zhan Shi Temple is located at Kuala Langat. This is my first time visit to this temple. I was told by my buddy that the CNY decoration in this temple is awesome & there are programmes every night. So we decided to pay there a visit tonight.

It was 730pm when we reached there. It took us 2 hours to reach there & it was crowded. There were food stalls along the side of the road. It's hard to describe the decoration there as it was really awesome. I should say it is much more beautiful compare to Tian Hou Temple. But I didn't manage to take all the pictures as there are lots of buddha statues which I wouldn't want to snap them except one picture which I only snap one which I do like the angle & the background lighting effect.

30.01.2009 - Tian Hou Temple CNY'09 Decoration

2009-01-30T00:55:00.000+08:00

Happy Chinese New Year!!

This is my first time shooting Chinese New Year's decoration. I was invited by my very old secondary school mate to go to Tian Hou Temple to shoot their decoration. Frankly, this is my very first time visit Tian Hou Temple during Chinese New Year. The atmosphere there was great and crowded. I was sweating while snapping photos but I do enjoy the shooting.

Share my favourite shots.

31.12.2008 - New Year Eve

Celebrating New Year Eve with a group of primary school mates. We went to Solaris, Mont Kiara, which is a new place for me. We dine at Ole Ole Bali and the foods are good & the price is reasonable. The environment there is awesome. Gonna pay there a visit soon cause didn't snap much pictures on the interior decoration.

After dinner, we saw Digi car & they were distributing mugs and a "Yellow-man" handphone string. Well, we got the mugs and handphone string as our last present in year 2008.

13.12.2008 - Chang & Janice

2008-12-13T23:25:00.009+08:00

This is the 2nd time to tag along with Kenneth to shoot. This time, we were shooting a swimming pool wedding, which is a grand wedding ceremony at Le Meridian Hotel. Their wedding dinner was also held at Le Meridian ballroom.

I met 2 girls' friend in this wedding. I was so surprising when I saw them attended the wedding. One was my form six school mate, she was the bride's best friend and another girl was my ex-colleague during my employment in Taylor's Group, she was the groom's sister. When I know that, I was like speechless for a second and wondering why is the world so small?

My ex-colleague saw me this morning when I was shooting her brother's wedding ceremony but she can't recall me and wondering where we met. I didn't see her in the wedding, maybe I can't recognise her because she has changed. We had short chit chat before the wedding dinner starts and just knew she left Taylor's. She also introduce me to her family members. I was quite shy to meet her family members. :D

Wow, it's a wonderful night to me because I got to meet my old school mate and ex-colleague in a such unarranged situation.

Due to some copyright issue. So I couldn't share my shots here. Thanks

Hong Yee, my good brother. I know him more than 10 years and I am so excited to be his wedding official photographer. Frankly, he is my first supporter and he is the first one to ask me to shoot his ROM. Although I am fresh to ROM shooting, but he insists to engage me to do it for him. He did encourage me a lot, ask me not to worry too much on the shooting & just try my best to shoot for his big day. I'm glad and happy that I'm able to witness his wedding. Thanks brother. I would wish to shoot your baby portrait soon. ;P

Wishing you both Happy Wedding.

01.12.2008- Indian Wedding Snap Shots

01.12.2008- Tag Along Kenneth

2008-12-01T03:27:00.001+08:00

Today was a great & fun day for me cause I got the chance to shoot with Kenneth Tan (Fabulous Chapter) & CY Tan. Kenneth Tan is my ex-colleague and he resigned from his position to be a full time photographer since June'08. First time met Kenneth's right hand cum best friend i.e. CY Tan. Really a nice guy and helpful guy. Glad to know you CY Tan.

I was invited by Kenneth to be his 3rd photog for an indian wedding which was held today. At first, I was so nervous & pressure because it's my first time shooting for indian wedding. During the photo session, Kenneth & CY Tan taught me how to capture a nice angle, snapping position and so on. Ofcourse, I have tried my best to absorb as much as I can.

The photo session end at 4pm and 3 of us were exhausted and we concluded that indian wedding ceremony is the toughest job. However, we also concluded that indian wedding ceremony is the most colorful wedding that we never had. We enjoyed taking pictures with the bride and groom.

It's good to have such campaign as an awareness to the social and community about the importance of health. Thanks to Mr. Xilas Ngang for giving such an opportunity to be part of this campaign. Some shots to share.

Never thought I would have a chance to shoot convocation. Thanks to Sis Min En. The whole shooting was so great!Thanks to Ah Kit, his passion and willingness to travel far away from Klang to PJ just to shoot this convo series. We had lots of fun. Seeing them graduated, it just reminds me my past convocation in year 2005. Unfortunately, I didn't shoot much on my convocation and I didn't keep a copy of the pictures. Lots of memories....lots of thoughts...

2008-08-06T15:48:00.001+08:00

This is my first ROM assignment. Never expect Hong Yee will ask me to shoot for him. I thought he was just kidding when we were talking about it during gathering session. I'm really fresh in ROM shooting. I'm lack of idea on how to shoot ROM. I have just noticed that the ROM session only takes about 5 minutes and the whole process is so fast. Anyway, thanks to him for giving me chance to experience this. If not, I wouldn't know and experience ROM shooting. Thanks brother Hong Yee.

4 July 2008:Lewis & Christie Wedding (Morning Session)

2008-07-04T20:42:00.009+08:00

Congratulates to my best buddy cum primary mate Lewis and his loving wife Christie. Happy Wedding Day! Thank him for giving such a great opportunity to shoot his wedding day. I have not been shooting wedding for years. Frankly, I was worrying yet exciting when shooting his wedding. After the morning session shooting, I was rushing to make a slide show that is to be shown during his wedding dinner. But the slide show can't be shown due to some technical limitation in that restaurant. Feel so disappointed. Anyway, this shooting was a good starting for me. Thanks again Bro Lewis.

Pictures below are my favourite shots.

About Me

2008-06-01T16:16:00.033+08:00

Hi,

Welcome to my blog. I'm Kevin Tan, the founder of Kevin Tan Photography, Malaysia based wedding & event photojournalism.

I'm in love in photography for more than 10 years but I started to learn DSLR in May'2008. At that point of time, I bought myself an used Canon DSLR 350D from a friend of mine and started to shoot everything. And now I have upgraded my gear to Canon DSLR 50D. Since then, I'm deeply in love in photography and decided to explore into photography industry.

I was given chances by my friends to shoot their wedding and I took their critics & comments as positive and I would learn from my mistakes. Thereafter, I am in love in wedding photography because each captured moments tell the story and atmosphere of the occasion. Therefore, I decided to venture into wedding photography.

Besides, I have a vision to explore photography into a missionery. Therefore, I started to help churches to snap events. Such as camp, celebration, special programme, missionery trips so on. I do hope one day, my photos not only convey the story embeded in the photos but also a LOVE message from Lord.

I would wish to share my view of the world through the lens. Feel free to drop by and provide constructive critics and comments to help me to improve. Hope you will enjoy while surfing my blog. Thanks & God Bless.

Best Regards,
Kevin Tan
