About the Fotogelafer

Welcome to Fotogelafer.com. I am Wan Cheng Huat AKA the Fotogelafer. Here is a short write up about how photography came into my life.

All my life, I can say that I have always been attuned with art. When I was much younger, I loved to draw. How did I know that? Well, I never could stop picking up a pen or a pencil to start imprinting what I saw. Drawing became a part of my life. As years pass me by, I soon realized that my ‘addiction’ actually soothes me, my feelings, my emotions and most of all my soul.

When I turned 16, I decided to join my school’s photography club and loved it almost instantly. Photography, in many ways, was and still is similar with drawing; instead of capturing images with my pen or pencil, I am now able to capture them with my camera.

I was overwhelmed with enthusiasm and learnt all I could from wherever I could. I remember reading through all the Reader's Digest I could get to obtain photography tips which were usually the advertisements of Kodak or Canon or Fujifilm. At that time, it was my only source where I could learn about shutter speed, aperture settings and how to play around to get my intended effects. Even now, after over 10 years, I still keep those files which still have those Reader's Digest pages.

I could remember the moment when I first picked up a camera; I knew that there was no turning back. Cameras and films were my new tools to express my new found identity.

But as time pass, technology became more advance and soon enough photography became digital. Only after 10 years, I finally abandon film photography; as it became more and more expensive and obsolete. However, I will cherish all those negatives which are now lying in my dry box. Nothing can replace them.

Enjoy my photographs.

Rasa Timur Photo Shooting

These are some of my test shots of the food and drinks during the Rasa Timur Photo Shooting with Yik Hoe. I used the natural lighting of the restaurant and only used my Canon 10-22mm to shoot all the food product. I wanted to test the capabilities of the 10-22mm. All photographs were taken without a single shot of flash :D

I kinda like the feeling of using the natural lighting conditions.I wanted to try this but someone ate it all before I could have a try.The nasi lemak and its fragrance were really tempting.In the diffuser box. The lighting effect were not as impressive as using the natural lighting at the restaurant.This was taken with the natural light of the restaurant.Here comes the dessert and drinks. I ate the ice creams, they were too tempting not to have any.I had this too.The orange juice was awesome.This was a little funky but worth the taste :D
I got to 'tapao' this home.The Mojito was something new. Another funky taste drink which I like a lot.
