'QUANTUM OF LIGHT' is a compilation of the various ideas i have on Fashion, Action and Concepts. I am happy to share with you the end results, the approaches to the concept, how they were executed and the lighting set-up.

Most of the pictures are extracted straight from the camera. More often than not, I try to avoid 'sharpening' the pictures. In my experience as a professional photographer, such practice would result in the artefacts of a picture and greatly reduces it's quality. Hence, I am disciplined to produce high-quality images without rendering the assistance of any softwares to compensate for any incompetence. Unless stated, all the pictures are without any form of enhancements. In some of them, Digital Imaging is used to communicate a different level of idea.

In this first volume, I try to relate some tips for each shoot as well as documenting as much technical information as possible. I hope that you would find them interesting and you can gain nuggets of knowledge through this book. In today's context, information flows both ways, so if you have any suggestions on how to make a picture work better or have an idea looming in your mind, please feel free to email me.

Last but not least, thank you for picking this up and reading through this book.
