Dennis is an international award-winning photographer based in Singapore. He specializes in weddings, the performing arts and family...rtraits.
It all started some three years ago. The church musicals that he was producing and performing in (Dennis plays the bass guitar and drums) didn’t have a photographer. He was forced to borrow a digital SLR to document the performance for the church bulletin. The dance segment was the most difficult to shoot because of the movements in dim light. Together with the elaborate costumes and props on stage, he found that capturing these images properly can make for a very artistic shot that also embodies the soul of the dance. This was the beginning of a hobby that led him to “volunteer” his services to several dance companies just so that he could gain the experience of shooting their performances.
Soon, the dancers were asking him to take their wedding shots as well. His background in the arts gave him an advantage in rendering an artistic viewpoint in wedding and portrait shots. The weddings were particularly special to him because of its place in creation where two flesh become one within God’s greater design for the man and woman He created. It gave Dennis an opportunity to tell a story using pictures of the love between man and wife, how they are differently made and yet so compatible with, and for each other. The wedding photos in his mind can be candid yet artistic. Dennis considers it a privilege to be given the opportunity to capture this on film.
