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.

Had a hard time shoot. The security guards there were very efficient in their work which means a really hard time for us.

02.08.2009 - Piew and Jenny Pre Wedding Test Photoshoot

First time shooting a pre-wedding photography. It was a test session to scout for nice locations. Had a great time with the cute couple, Piew and Jenny. Not forgetting, Yik Hoe and Kian Ming for tagging along and having a great time shooting together. Thanks. Could not have done this without you all.


A bit of outdoor and casual shots. The couple having fun on the roof. Too bad for the haze, if not it would have been a splendid scene.


I forgotten Miss Loong Sook Foong for the tips she gave me the day before and making me focus on the shoot :D A very big thank you

Do comment and critique as much. I want to learn and need to learn from what ever I did wrong.
