Directions to Kid Chan Studio!

Dear All,

Found thiscomment on how to get direction to Kid Chan Studio on AYA Dream Malaysia Awards “Most outstanding youth of the Year” winner Yvonne Foong's blog:

It is located behind the Maybank building along the main road of Jalan Bangsar. The Bangsar LRT station is just beside the Maybank building. From the station you can walk up to the Maybank building and after turning to the back of this building, you can see a white 5 storeys building visibly with a very big banner of a CELCOM advertisement and this is the Bangsaria Building. It takes about 10 mins walk from the back of the Maybank building to Bangsaria.

Btw, the full address is
5th Floor, 45E, Bangsaria, Jalan Maarof, 59100, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

See you soon!

Brunei here we come !

Dear All,

Ok go grab your popcorn. I reckon this is gonna be a pretty long post. Dont worry, i am not trying to be political or philosopical , just trying to catch up with almost 6 days worth of post.

So what have I been up to? Firstly, I would like to thank Syahidah & Adri from Brunei & their family for postponing their wedding to accomodate my schedule next June. Syidah and Adri's initial wedding date clashes with my job in Four Seasons Bali.

The image “http://www.kidchan.com/blog/syahidah.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Syahidah & Adri with their parents from Singapore and Brunei

Good News: Due to the overwhelming requests from our Brunei friends, our branch office will be open soon :)

Was also honoured to cover the Royal Wedding of YAM Tengku Shariza binti Almarhum Tengku Suleiman & Encik Kamarul Anuar bin Mohd.Razzali at the Dewan Perdana Felda on the 18th of November 2005. YAM is the niece of the of DYMM SPB Yang Di Pertuan Agong Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Jamalullail(Pictures later k?)

On a personal note, my colleague Voon and I also covered the Full Moon party of Ms. Rachel Chua, the daughter of my good friends from Sri Cempaka Mr. & Mrs Damien Chua. There were also so many other cempakan babies:)

I also manage to do two interviews over the week:) The first was a joint interview with my lovely wife Shirlyn for PA & MA. We were interview by Intan from PA & MA who also just have a cute baby recently. Congratulations to you Intan!

The second interview was for a new TV program Impian Pengantin (Sorry no images, all my colleagues was off or on assingment).

We also covered an exclusive preview for one of the most prestigious jewellers in the world from France that is to open in KL soon.

okie, enough about the past week. I am just looking forward to tomorrow.Will be shooting the portrait of Zaini Ahmad of Time Out and also some wedding preparation of Ms. Shahleen Cheah (former Miss Malaysia Runner up).

Good as SEX-......almost!

Dear all,

Well yesterday i was complaining that S**T Happens on how my work was accidentally credited to another photographer!

But today as i was going through my new blogpal Joe Greatness's blog , i found the following post: !

Kid Chan: The most sought-after wedding photographer in Malaysia!

When Kid Chan was labelled as the most sought-after wedding photographer in Malaysia by the New Straits Time, it is certainly not a joke or a false claim at all.

This guy is the real deal.

I discovered Mr. Chan while browsing in Project Petaling Street, a blog portal where us bloggers ping our blogs whenever there are new updates in our blog and it just so happened that he had a photo taken with the lovely Devon Aoki, the famous model/actress who recently appeared in the film adaptation of Frank Miller's Sin City graphic novel.

What?! Devon Aoki?!

In the words of TNA colour commentator, Don West...............

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

But lo and behold! He did took a photo with Devon Aoki. If you check out his photo blog over in my links sidebar, you'll know what I'm talking about.

I then decided to check out his photo blog a little bit more and discovered that this guy has done so many wedding photography for many famous celebrity weddings around the world! The list of celebrities he's also met is a pretty good list, which includes former Malaysian Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir, famous singer and current American Idol judge Paula Abdul, famous actress and former Bond Girl Datuk Michelle Yeoh, model/actress Bai Ling, F-1 driver David Coulthard, theatre actress and Channel V vee jay Paula Malai Ali, famous actress and singer Maya Karin and also Malaysia's very own Siti Nurhaliza!

Yup. He sure is lucky alright.

Sure, I've met my fair share of celebrities throughout my life (I remembered going nuts for Janet Khoo before I eventually met her that fateful night at the 16th Malaysian Film Festival two years ago), but judging from his photo blog, he seems to have been there and done that. It did make me wonder though whether my cousin, Sabrina Hassan (whom I personally call Kak Sabrina), managed to rope him to do photography for her wedding two years ago on December 7th, 2003.

I also noticed how awesome his wedding photography really is by going to his main website, http://www.kidchan.com and looking through his portfolio. (Heck, checking out his flash animation at the beginning is enough to give you a rough idea on how awesome they really are!) Unlike regular photographers, he captures all of these images with absolute flair and style and he really makes them look absolutely gorgeous. It's hard to really describe how excellent his photography is, so it's best if you check them out yourselves and lemme (and Mr. Chan himself) know what you think.

One thing's for sure, after looking through his works, I guess I know who to call in as my wedding photographer when that fateful day arrives.

Till then, all the best in your work, Mr. Chan! And remember to have fun doing so as well! :)

Ah, how fortune turn. With words this kind, it's almost as good as SEX!

Kid Chan, WPJA

Do look out for my work on the first four pages (NOT the main cover) and all throught the magazine:)

Btw, the actual day wedding of Jeslina Hashim & Dion Rais Vercoe was actually photographed by your truly's company and not by the other company. The publisher has made a small mistake on that:(

Ask Kid Chan - Do i need to feed my wedding photographer?

Dear Kid Chan,

I have a rather question that I am too embarrassed to ask my photographer. My wedding will be held in a hotel next March, do I need to provide him food?

Andrea Gomez, Bangsar

Dear Andrea,

Congratulations! I understand that the concern of providing food to the photographer at a hotel may high.

As a professional, we do not expect to be provided with food. However based on my experience most of the time, as the photographer I am first in to capture the environment and last out after the family formal shots.

This means if I had arrived before 6pm and leaves at 12.00am, I would have been working for 7 hours straight without food (another half and hour to get to the nearest mamak stalls!)

At such it would be prudent to provide your photographer with some simple food like fried rice, if you don’t want them to faint at the reception.

I can assure you if you treat your photographer right, they will be even more motivated in capturing the shots.

Kid
