Snap Shots

Editor's Note: Meet local photographer Samuel Tan, a.k.a. @shoyo_stlb from Twitter. I got to know Samuel at this year's BRIDEX and have been bumping into him at events. As you will read, Samuel is part of a growing segment of Bruneians who have left their 9 to 5 jobs in pursuit of a hobby turned passion. His responses are honest and transparent, and his creative portfolio has just begun. Check out his website - www.SamuelTanPhotography.com or if you are keen to engage him, connect through his Facebook page.

Here's Samuel.

Editor's Note: Meet Hassnal Adam Sulaiman, a.k.a. @AdamSnaps. Adam, a Brunei based photographer, has been practising his craft since 2008. I met him previously at a wedding model shoot and he told me that he has never gone for any photography courses and that he is "pretty much self taught...through the internet, YouTube and Magazines". Adam is participating in the Art Takes London competition, and is also one of the official photographers of the International Wedding Showcase 2011. Check out more of his work here.

Here's Adam.

Editor's Note: Meet Ezra Pilpus, a.k.a. @Ezra_Pilpus. Ezra has been an independent photographer in Brunei since 2009, he describes his work as minimalistic, and says he is influenced by old-school photographers like Henri-Cartier Bresson, William Eggleston, Ansel Adams and Alec Soth. Check out Ezra's website and Flickr albums to appreciate more if his work.

Editor's Note: Meet Ahmad Wajidi, a.k.a. @gd14live. I got to know Ahmad through Twitter and found out that he's a freelance web designer, a graphic designer and a photographer. Check out the rest of Ahmad's portfolio here; his designs and photographs speak for themselves. If you are interested in engaging his craft, you can reach him via his website - www.ahmadwajidi.com. As with the previous Snap Shots, get to know him a bit better, and check out more of his work below (click on the thumbnails).
