January 1st, 2010

Greetings from our new home. *Phew*, on a brand new year – new layout, new look and new vision moving forward 2010 and beyond. I’m stoked and very excited to introduce to you my brand – Jon Low Studios.

I love what I do. Really, I do. :) . As an artist, the work I am attracted to and so fond off, has changed over the past few years. And I have noticed that my portfolio and my business directions have moved on from the initial of what Ideal Wedding Studios was meant to be. Hence – the new facelift, a new name to the organization to reflect the many many changes.

2010 is going to be exciting times for me – Building a brand requires time,trust and effort. It is my dream to have a strong outfit for Jon Low Studios comes end of the year, and I would love you guys to be part of it.

2009 was a great year, the best since being a wedding photographer. Plenty to be thankful, and some lessons learnt along the journey.

Awards and Accolades

Awards as you may know, are merits presented for a job well done. It is somewhat a great indicator of how you are performing in your field, a report card of some what. It drives me to score better and inspire me to produce more stunning masterpieces.

In the last 8×10″ Print Competition outing with WPPI, I have manage to score 2 Accolades with these two photographs. Our first two.

First time is the scariest!

In front of a crowd. Where many many pairs of eyes staring at me, as I was stumbled upon my words, and tried to make sense of what I was trying to say at my first workshop I conducted with some wedding vendors.

It was a scary first, and then it feels quite alright, and looking forward to more….

Sharing is the new black, sharing is caring, sharing is everything…

We shoot, we feast on love and photography and videography. SHOOTFEST was an amazing get together with photographers around. I met so many new people during the event. Some that I knew prior, grew so much closer and they became our regular mamak tweetups :) .

Superstardom is not for the faint hearted.

Yes, if you have indeed followed my blog for some time, we were featured in the June cover for Hote Magazine – if you did not see the magazine, that is because the magazine is circulated only at various Coffee Beans, and Genting Highlands.

As glamourous as we want our shoot to be, the behind the scenes often reveal a different story all together. Ask the brides… Or, you can ask me like the photograph above!

Oh what the heck, it was quite a cover:

What it was also, brought few of us really close friends, and somewhat colleague in the business we have. Love you guys!

People darn believe in rumours they wanna hear.

No, we are not an item.

Travel is exhausting, but I would not trade in for the awesomeness at the end of day.

This year has been the biggest travel year for me of all time. I clocked to many many places local and abroad and had the chance and pleasure to see and taste the colors of the world. Highlights were, Melbourne, San Francisco, Gui Lin, Miri, Sabah, Hong Kong, etc etc. :)

Autumn in Melbourne was amazing.

My family, and my brothers are the darnest people

Because, they care :)

The best lightboy ever :p.

I really have good funky best GREATEST friends.

Friends which was part of all the excitement, ups and downs throughout 2009. You know who you are, where you were and what you did. :) . Thank you, thank you , and thank you.

Happy New Year 2010

Taking this once in a year opportunity to wish every reader, every clients, every family and friends, a happy spanking 2010 new year. New decade with new dreams. First, dream it. Do it, archive it. It is as big as we all can dream.

Lots of love!
