Being hospitalized got me thinking and made me start questioning myself what I am doing for the past 2 years and why I’m doing so… Why do I want to risk the rest of my life with a career I’m not sure whether it could last good? Why do I want to bear such heavy responsibility each week? Why do I want to go through hectic ‘competitions’ among so many other photographers out there? Why do I have to stress myself so much physically and mentally every week? Is it all worth it?

Seriously I don’t know and maybe I won’t even know this life time, there’s no guarantee in life too. Perhaps not everything in this world could be explained logically or we would know the true worth of something before we start doing it, career or relationship wise for an instance. I’m seeing what I do now like raising my own ‘child’, our parents don’t question whether is it worth it to have us on earth isn’t it? Maybe I’m thinking too much during the time being hospitalized but it’s good that I am thinking instead of feeling comfortable on what I’m doing. Just feeling wanted to voice out a bit cause sometimes working alone most of the time is really… not easy.

The shot below was an applause by the bride just after the same day slideshow ended. This photo alone means a lot to me, for the effort put on to the whole event and ensuring the slideshow could be played on time etc. It feels awesome to be appreciated I’m glad both Li Ling & Chang Chian love the show I put on the screen and there’s lots of laughter thanks to the group of very fun Heng Tais that make the slideshow a joy to watch! Enjoy the show below.

&.b.t.w. – My Dengue was caught when I’m at a car park warming up the car. The car door was opened only for seconds then there’s more than 30 mosquitoes inside! So, be careful you guys.

Well, the reason of why I wanted to lose weight is embarrassing, really. I couldn’t fit into any jeans of regular size. Felt kinda bad and thanks to the great help of a qualified trainer friend, Sean, I never knew losing weight is that easy.

Sean was a school mate and boy I’m surprised with what I saw from him after about 8 years not getting in touch. He GREW in size. After some catching up, I’ve just realized he is now a certified trainer and based in Petaling Jaya. I’m amazed by his passion in body building and his credentials in this field. To name a few, he is a certified: Mixed Martial Arts Conditioning Coach(NESTA), Strength and Conditioning Specialist(NSCA), Sports Hypnotist(Spenser Institute), Personal Fitness Trainer(ACE), Kettlebell Trainer (IKFF) and so forth.

During my process of losing weight, I only threw in a 30 minutes indoor workout and the most important thing is the food that I take. Thanks to Sean, I’ve got the right knowledge on what to look out for and I never got hungry but ate more meals per day. Not just that, he is capable of motivating me, perhaps because of his knowledge in psychology from his tertiary education.

I also learned that he is pursuing his second degree in Chiropractic, a course that studies about human spine & it’s nerves, optimal relationship of joints, and treatment of musculo-skeletal related problems. I’m worried as I’m typing whether I’d give any facts wrongly cause it’s way out of my knowledge zone! No wonder professionals like doctors look for Sean as their body builder.

Alright, back to what I do best, if you are interested on how to build up your body or losing weight, look for Sean Lee. I did a series of portrait with him earlier and this shoot’s intention is to show the curves of the body muscles. Enjoy the series!

&.b.t.w. – I am very curious about the Siri function of iPhone 4S, with different accents of English, will it be able to function as advertised?

&.&.b.t.w. – I’m not that ambitious as Sean, but it would be nice to dream I have those 6 packs one day…

Workload is clearing up at a good pace now and shootings are slowing down a bit this month. It’s actually a good thing that I have my own down time to do anything that is not related to work. Having to shoot professionally for the past 2 years had me realized something… When business and art meets, we often have to make a decision that helps us make a living. Indirectly, I think the art side is often ‘polluted’ when business comes into mind.

There are things that are unavoidable but I wouldn’t want my work being polluted because of money, I don’t want to be a starving artist either. I am seeking for a balance that I don’t lost my own self in the process of being a full time photographer. I went for an impromptu self portrait session recently, with a tripod and a camera, hoping to free my mind, experiment with colors and new way of having things done. Soon, I’ll be announcing a few free individual portrait shoots in the effort of trying new approach in my work. Follow our Facebook page for coming announcement if you’re interested : )

I think I could be tagged as a very active amateur musician in Penang few years back, playing the flute for 8 years and learnt by self taught basis majority of time since high school.

Just to share with you a clip I recorded in 2007 by my mobile phone while I was warming up. Please excuse my coconut hair style. Mind you, it’s very popular for poor students like me in 2007 :p

It’s a little blurry to me, but somewhere in 2006, me and another 4 friends formed a group called “Penang Wind Quintet” to participate in a classical music competition sponsored by HSBC held at KLPAC. We’ve practiced real hard for months for the preliminary round of the competition and finally shortlisted to the final round. Of course, we joined the competition because we’d like to win but out of our expectation, we have beaten the strongest group of 3 which played really well and most of them are full time musicians that are few years more experienced than many of us in the quintet.

I still remember the feeling when we were called upon as the winner of the competition! I thought the organizers might have announced wrongly but they were not. Man, the heart beat was real fast that time and I just don’t know how to explain the mind blowing feel at that instant with words!

Other than the prize and trophy, we are awarded with having a concert of our own at KLPAC fully sponsored by HSBC. Nevertheless, the competition has influenced most of us in the quintet having stronger interests in going deeper towards classical music. For an instance, the result of the competition gave me great confident about being a classical musician as my career. I simply love performing and I felt like I see hope that is awaiting for me to explore.

Then, I set a target that I wanted to study music in National University of Singapore(NUS) which possesses one of the top music conservatory in Asia. Entry to the university needs to undergo a very competitive audition that is open to musicians worldwide. Countries like US, Europe, China etc produce A LOT of music students of professional level yearly and same goes to the people over there who could not get a place in the music school of their country. Therefore, a lot of them would opt for alternatives like NUS.

To prepare myself for the audition, I found myself a professional flute teacher to drill my skills further. On a side note, just to share with everyone the rates a professional classical musician is paid in a professional orchestra. In Malaysia, it would be an up to 5 figures pay monthly in Malaysia Ringgit currency. If it’s at western country, where the people there value classical music, it’s a 6 figures pay, monthly in Malaysia Ringgit currency. So, parents that are reading this… If your child is gifted, by all means let them learn music as early as you could!

At this time line, I actually just finished my STPM but the government decided not to give me any slot in the local university even that I have chosen some very uncommon courses. One of my eight choices actually consists of a Music degree programme. I don’t blame them, this would be due to my result isn’t that fantastic. I put many of the time in school band and orchestra I joined and somehow this affected my academic result as I missed class often, eventually lost interest in academic and I find it a little hard to cope.

Therefore while I’m preparing myself for the audition, I can’t just live like that by doing nothing other than practicing the flute. I have a girlfriend that time, my first one and spent 5 years together. If you are the girl’s parents I’m sure you’d be worried that her other half has no ‘paper qualification’, don’t you? So, I enrolled an ICT course with an Open University in Penang as my backup plan should the NUS audition went hay wire.

At the same time, I worked as a part time tuition tutor for a few months then changed to becoming a computer teacher, teaching children from 5 to 12 years old in a kindergarten and primary school as I could save more money like this – practice, work, study. I were teaching flute too, to 3 students at that time being. Below, some cupcakes received from the parents during teachers day, it’s definitely a heart warming gift.

I love to make things beautiful. Always wanted to buy a digital camera during high school days but I couldn’t afford it, my drawing skills sucked too. After some time pooling enough of money, I invested in a Nikon D60 with a kit lens on April 2008, shooting my mother’s plants most of the time with a +5 macro filter, having photography as a hobby. Sorry for the ‘unusual’ watermark I had few years back below. I actually afraid that people will steal my image and so all my 2008 photos are imprinted with these marks, flattened, and saved. *slaps on forehead*

Around May 2008, I bumped to a magazine in a bookstore, with a very artistic picture of a bride putting on a red shoe. The photos inside are very attractive, I bought it right away and this is an encounter that change my life ever. After reading, knew that the photo was taken by someone called Louis Pang and this is my first encounter on professional wedding photos. I Googled this guy and I was stunned by all his work. I’ve never seen photos like that and they are so nice, special and so comfortable to view at!

I almost spent everyday going through his website. Became a HUGE fan of him. I’m so embarrassed to say that I even save down or print screen the photos he put up in the website so that I could view faster without needing to wait for them to load! hehe… Louis’s blog also shows that there will be a workshop at June 2008 in Penang, but the cost would be near to the cost of the camera I have just bought. I felt the urge to attend it but heck I’m only 2 months using the DSLR and I couldn’t afford the workshop. I said to myself….. next year.

Gladly, Louis is coming to Penang again for a workshop on March 2009. I make myself brave and clear away part of my savings for an investment of good knowledge. My decision has proven me right. I love every bits of the 3 days workshop. I learned A LOT.

Below, this is the only shot I took in Louis’s workshop as most of the time I’m observing how he shoots. The shot below was took during the session he challenged us to shoot and he will observe close from us! I’m sure everyone is darn nervous that a master is observing every right and wrong move we make.

Louis is a great teacher and his words are very encouraging, inspiring and some how, he lits the spark in us to achieve in something and believing in ourselves. I have attended a few workshop and seminars Louis organized. I would say that the experience is always pleasing, enjoyable and you will love it.

A note from Louis with his signature, “Milan, Pursue your dream. Never let it go!”.

The very first wedding dinner that I have shot in 2008 with a D60 and 50mm f/1.8. I’m shooting with manual focus as D60 has no internal focusing motor drive on the body to use with the lens. The experience shooting this wedding is a little intimidating although I’m just a second shooter, because the limitation of my camera gears, I have only an old flash with manual flash power control and I have totally no idea what to shoot! But, we’ll need to start from somewhere…

After some months getting involved with shoots like event, wedding, portrait, together with new friends I made through the internet, I started to like photography very much and I get good compliments on the photos I’m shooting and moreover, I am commissioned on the shoot I do too. I could see a better prospect for my future being a photographer compared to what I was aiming for which is becoming a professional musician.

One day, I started to consult my flute teacher regarding of her view on my future path as a performing musician. She told me that keep playing is good but she does not recommend her students to go professional in this field as job offering is scarce. She said that out of very very good luck, she get this job in an orchestra. Else, she would turn out to be like many professionals out there who graduate from music school but having hard time finding a job. For example in Malaysia, we have Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra(MPO), National Symphonic Orchestra(NSO), and maybe… RTM orchestra that offers job where the full time musicians will get a monthly pay. With no doubt, MPO offers the dream job every Malaysian musician would lust for. But as we could see, 90% or even more musicians in MPO are from foreign country – musicians with very good musical qualifications and virtuosity. If I were to analyze by the number of offering… alright, say, one orchestra would hire 5 flautists. Then, my competition is world wide, that makes a 5 offering over 10th of thousands of musicians? And, I do have another factor to consider, which is whether the musicians already there will be retiring? If not, I’ll have to think of my way to survive. I don’t really want to teach music as a living, I’d love performing much more.

With all the these concerns, music vs money came into mind. I started began to worry about money since 16, you know, a man’s thing… Maybe I pressured myself too early. Remember my quintet friends above? Three of them have successfully got a place to study in NUS, I am extremely happy for them and envious towards them too as they have the determination to pursue what they wanted. Another friend opt for an alternative which is enjoy performing when he has the time while getting himself a good academic degree. After some long considerations, I realized that I like to play music and enjoy listening to good ones, maybe not study it, the history of it or having as a profession. I don’t really find my passion on practicing 8 hours a day(yes, it’s a daily routine for professional classical musicians), perhaps playing weekly or occasionally with a good tone then I’m happy. I believe I don’t have the enthusiasm to pursue music, I don’t have what it takes too.

June 2009, my first love broken. Maybe it’s due to the heavy pressure I’m facing that moment – working, studying, practicing. Our mindset starts to deviate and love eventually fades. I was really not happy with what I do, not satisfied and tired. After the broke up, I told myself… “Since I’m single and has no commitment, why not have a try on something adventurous? If failed, I could have find other things to do. Nothing to lose and I won’t have regrets in my life.” So this little inner voice sparks off my will to free myself to be a happy man. I wanted to convert myself to a full time photographer. Yes, from very very less wedding shoot, to a full time photographer that makes a living by shooting. Luckily this is not totally impossible as at my age, I don’t have commitments like car installment or mortgage. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke. I could have saved every cent I earn from being a computer tutor. I told my parents I wanted to quit my studies that I have just been through two semesters with. They were not sure if I’m doing the right thing. I felt that they are worried. But this time, I am firmed, I went to fill in withdrawal form from University.

I think of my change and start planning stuff like name card, meeting vendors and people and looking for a suitable type of blog etc. Coincidentally, my mother saw an advertisement in the newspaper that a local bridal house is hiring an assistant photographer. I was delighted with this as I could have try the kind of life doing this while being paid monthly to see if this is the kind of life I enjoyed. I interviewed, got the job and the boss asks me to shoot after I worked a month there. The experience was good, I learned a lot of things book cannot teach me and I enjoy working with a job that is photography related. However, the working environment is not ideal and I decided to try my luck setting up my own business.

I’ve got my website up on 1st Jan 2010, registered a business name and start the process of converting myself to a full time photographer with limited savings. I could share with you it’s about 2000 Ringgit only. I spent the rest on upgrading gears, buying necessities I needed to run the business etc. Slowly, inquiries came in and I get a bit of job here and there, there are a few months I have no job at all but I am proud to say that I survived 2010! This is possible due to my family members who provides shelter, food for me and not forgetting the moral support. Also, friends that refer clients to me, encouraged me I could make it and helped me when I faced bottle neck. Clients that refer friends to us. Blog readers who share our website with their friends. Without all you, I believe I might be facing financial problem now.

Anyhow, if you see www.milanteh.com is still running, that means I get to eat bread as breakfast, rice for lunch and dinner. I would like to thank everyone who helped and supported me directly or indirectly from the bottom of my heart as I’m writing. My life has changed to a new direction, totally. A must thank person would be Louis, if not because of him, I’d be a grumpy computer tutor, doing assignments during weekend and practice my flute one hour a day wishing good things drop from the sky to me. Just at the end of my 22 years old, I am happy that one of my work get international level of recognition which is the accolade of excellence I earned recently in WPPI. Competition is not on the ego part for me, it’s a driving power that helps me to keep moving forward and improve in what I do at that particular instant.

Sorry that I have tortured everyone to read such a long post. To balance up, I’m sharing with all of you some of my shots in 2008 shot with an entry level DSLR, Nikon D60. I really love beautiful things. What I shot could attest to that.

This no peeing sign is shot at Pudu bus station at Kuala Lumpur.

Just a personal update. I had a 40′C high fever last 2 weeks for several days, with the high fever, forced myself to continue attend a photography seminar in KL for 2 days and followed by 4 back to back shoots. It was really a tough experience having need to shoot with fever and headache, I’m glad I had finally made it and very surprisingly, last quarter of 2010 has been very busy and all come in a sudden. I am thankful that I know many right people at the right time and this has lead to my survival for 2010 as a full time photographer for the first year. Sounds like a new year resolution? No, will write one when 2010 is ending :p After being long winded, I’m just trying to explain why I didn’t blog regularly this month. lol!

Anyhow, I’ve been seeking for permission from a few clients recently to post their photos here and I do hope that I can blog at least once per week. So, stay tuned and keep on reading and following.

For the week of selecting picture and editing, it took me quite some time as I am very new to this. Not knowing what to expect, I’ve selected 11 pictures that I really like and submitted. This competition has a scoring system, for entry that scores 80 and above, they will earn an Accolades of Excellence point and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd place is selected from here too. To cut things short, I’ve earned myself an Accolades of Excellence out of my 11 submissions. Although I’m not winning any awards this round, I will strive to improve further in my work . I’m glad that I have participated in this competition because I believe it guides me to be a better photographer throughout the process. Finally, the almost 2 months wait for the result is now over. It’s a big relief.

Last but not least, a great man and teacher I wanted to thank is Louis Pang, will blog about this man when I have enough pictures and information. lol~ Before this competition accepts entries, he had organized a free talk in Penang to guide fellow photographers in Penang how to judge a photo and what are the things that could be improved. Thanks to this session, I have more idea about this competition and how I could better finish my photographs for competition. Now, I’m sharing all my 11 entries with everyone and the marks I have got too in hoping that it will benefit photographers who are planning to join this competition.

Did you spot something new? Yes, I’ve changed a bit of the blog’s layout and I have a new logo : ) This is a part of the change I mentioned earlier which in total taken me 6 hours of time in fine tuning them on my birthday! Initially, the designer of this logo let me choose 3 different styled logo, it’s quite interesting to me as each of them are so different from one another. Then, I decided to go for this one. If you look closely(maybe to the larger version at top banner), it’s like hand written of ink on paper as not all of the strokes are in perfect form.

In my point of view, this logo represents me – a newly created business( ie. I’m starting to write ‘something’ from scratch. ) That explains why I was talking about it looked like hand writing. Also, it represents modern and young to me figuratively based on the style. I want my work to be modern and young which Ahem…  best represents my age range too :p My real Chinese name is still kept into the design as like I said before, I want to keep on reminding myself about my root and people who have helped or taught me throughout my life and especially those supports I get this year when starting my own business.

I think there will be some people who might ask, why in the world you change your logo a few times in less than one year time? Good question. I have one logo on January, changed to another one on March, altered a bit on April and now announcing a brand new one on September. Reason is, I thought my previous logos are not good looking aesthetically, although it’s something I created my ownself… I’m actually not the biggest critic on my own work, I always try to think on how to go better but this round I’m really at a bottle neck as I have no graphic design background, I realized that I should find a professional in this field to do the work as this is what they do best, not me. Likewise, if you’re not a photographer, you can buy a camera and take picture, but your picture might not be as good or consistent compared to professional photographers. This is one of the lesson I have learnt from this process.

Next, more recent work to follow, thank you and keep following.

Dear fellow Malaysians in the country and abroad, we would like to wish everyone of you a 53rd Selamat Hari Kemerdekaan!

The above picture was shot from Jerejak island and everything were real, no composite thingy here and I tried playing a bit with the color that I have never tried in my usual work, hope everyone likes it.

To cut things short, I really love Malaysia. There are a lot of things from it that I love and I’m proud to be a Malaysian too. This is where I get all my true friends and where I call, true home. Unfortunately, sometimes, a small group of people in the country create little disasters that upset a lot of people here and there and they are always being amplified with the ‘natural help’ of the local media. This is the thing that I really don’t like, they are very much like noise that held the country from moving forward literally. Hope that in coming years, things would improve and Malaysia would grow to be a even better country and home for all Malaysians. For those who are not working, hope you’d enjoy the day off with your beloved family celebrating the national day.

Dear readers and visitors, if you are a loyal reader of this blog, I would like to apologize for the ‘inactive’ atmosphere that took place in the past few weeks, I must admit I was a bad blogger but I promise to put a stop to this very soon! Next, you will expect to see more personal posts of what is inside my mind and heart and of course, many more of my recent work and what I do Don’t you think that it’s weird to read a human being’s blog but that human is not sounding like one? hehe.. I would like to thank friends in my Facebook who gave me their inputs about whether they’d be interest to read something personal about me in the blog that in turn gave me this idea Thank you!

For the past few weeks, I am planning for a change and announcement that will be revealed on September, I’m trying my very best to make it happen and this is a time consuming process for me as I am the only one taking care of every single thing: meeting people & vendors, finishing photos, travel for shooting, and making decisions be it a small decision or big ones. But, I’m not complaining though, this is certainly a great new adventure in a new chapter of my life and I enjoy what I do right now as a photographer. I assure that the September announcement and change will be an exciting ones to literally everyone!

I’ll stop now and thank you for your patience! Before I forget, have you read about the July-August promotion that we’re having? This promotion ends on 31st of August and you have just about half a months time to make your booking. If you have not read this and you or your friends are in the midst of looking for a wedding planner, read about it by tapping here. Have a great Sunday people!

To let you have a clearer view of what’s new, I’m putting a set of the new watermark at the center. Obviously, there are two Chinese characters in between Milan Teh and I have altered other fonts to be more simple. The Chinese characters are actually my real Chinese name. This is to remind me not to forget my roots, not to forget who had helped me when my business has just started, who had taught me to become better human being and photographer, who are my true friends & family, who have never looked me down and gave me all the supports I needed to continue in this not-so-easy-not-so-hard path, who had unselfishly share what they know with me in order to help me go further. Yes, I want and will remember all of you. Special thanks to my lovely cousin for the idea of this watermark and helping me to create it.

Initially, Milan Teh was my nick name for chatting at places like ICQ/MSN few years back when I have no slightest idea about photography and never thought I would be where I am now. When I started photography, I continue to use the name Milan to make new friends and every photo was watermarked with this name too. The reason is, my real name is not memory nor pronunciation friendly. Eventually, people know me as Milan and if I change my name at that time to ‘avoid’ confusion then I would have needed another few more years of time to introduce myself again and again.  I have no intention to ‘sound’ like 3 or 4 bridal houses in West Malaysia that starts with the name MILAN actually, it’s purely because I love the simplicity of it, the sound of it and a city, Milan at Italy .  Some people especially the older generations might easily thought that I work for Milan Bridal House/Milan Wedding Studio… Well, I am Milan Teh and I have no relations to any of the 3 or 4 bridal houses in West Malaysia.

Hope that this new watermark would be more pleasant to view at when you’re looking the picture as a whole together with my new watermark. Have a great party Friday tomorrow, people.

To express how excited this was when the Wedshooter.tv team announce it at their blog:- If you are classical musician, it’s like Berliner Philharmoniker is coming to your nearest city and teach you about classical music. If you are student, it’s like Harvard University is offering you to study there. If you’re a car engineer at Proton, it’s like BMW is coming over to guide you about making good cars etc. Hope that you could feel me and that was the excitement every photographer is getting when Wedshooter.tv announce this on November 2009.

Basically, there are one lighting workshop “Hot Shoe Diaries” held on 5 different days by Joe McNally and a lighting seminar “Let There Be Light” by Joe McNally featuring Louis Pang. The workshop and seminar talks mainly about small flashes that photographers use on top of their camera and of course, lighting. It took only 5 days and the workshop was fully booked!  This was the first thing that catches my eye when I reached the hotel where the workshop took place, a paper stating hastag# that we use in Twitter.

Some of the light modifiers that we will be using throughout the workshop.

Some of  the Wedshooter.tv team with the cute black Wedshooter TV t-shirt. Starting from the left, Johanna, Jasmine, Johan Sopiee, Melvin. Also, makeup of the models for the workshop and seminar was done by Lee Kuen, the lady on the red jacket, founder of Bridal Glam.

Drew, first assistant of Joe explaining about what they use for location shoots.

Joe McNally, a very humble guy, a great photographer & master of lighting.

It is very informative for being able to see how Joe works and how he solves each lighting problem that arises.

After that we were break into groups of 4 and the first model we get to work with is Tarachin. She has been very easy to work with and I love her expression, body language and professionalism. Just to share with all of you some shots that I took on the practical session at below. They were out of camera shots.

Next, we get to work with Ong Tou. I don’t really know which part of the hotel we were but this place is very very hot. Ong Tou has been very professional & patient with us even though he was soaking wet!

Next, last session of the workshop and Joe brought us to a corridor and talked us through what he’ll be doing next.

Joe’s camera and Mac. Every shot that he took(ie. out of camera shot) is shown to everyone through his notebook.

Lastly, a photo with Joe. Thanks to Jenny for helping me to take this shot!

Next, “Let There Be Light” seminar on Saturday. Look at the amount of photographers who attended this! More than 300 photographers are there that day.

Louis Pang, the man that makes this possible and happening.

The seminar starts with an introduction of Louis Pang, this is indeed a very unique way to introduce him. As you can see, he wasn’t simply walking into the hall but he was shooting live infront of us.

A warm welcome to every participants. There are participants from 9 different countries under one roof!

Conclusion, I am glad that I’ve made the decision to join this lighting workshop and seminar. TQ~

Up next, introduction to Photo Diary of Milan Teh Studio. Happy Chinese New Year to everyone too!
