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.

What a way to start the 2011 fotogelafer year. 13th January 2011, I was at Malacca shooting for MSD Annual Dinner and Dance. Shooting pirates and pareos. Lovely hotel to be at; wish I more time to wander around but by the time I was done, it was almost 12am. Had to make my way back that night itself.
And on the 14th January 2011, I was surrounded by wizards, warlocks, witches and magical elements of Hogwart. I was covering for Kraft Foods Dinner and Dance. It was one of the more magical D&D I have attended. Very nice way for me to start the 2011.

Malaysia VS Manchester United 2nd Match

I went to the Malaysia VS Manchester United 2nd match held in Bukit Jalil Stadium. I brought along my 50D and all my lenses (50mm f.14, 10-22mm and 18-200mm). I wanted to test all the lenses with the low light conditions of a stadium.I was there with Kian Ming. Below are some scenes taken with my lenses, quite a nice place to test my lenses capabilities under low lighting conditions.
