John leads the monthly photography workshop, class, course in Singapore.  The 3 day intensive photography, course, class, lesson and workshop is designed for participants who want to master their camera beyond the camera manual and to understand the principles and the art of photography by getting out of the AUTO mode.

Time is important. Learn how to master your camera with our monthly photography workshop  class, course in small group for an effective learning experience suitable for both absolute beginners and amateurs.  Not sure about shutter speed, aperture, ISO, depth of field and composition, WS 101 or WS 102 may be the workshop for you. 

If you have been using Automatic or AUTO mode & your pictures have not been consistently satisfactory. Or you could be overwhelmed with the various buttons that you had no clue of what they were for. Or confused by the technology jargons and puzzled by the digital revolutions. Our professional  imaging workshops and courses will unlock your power and give yourself a head-start to master the camera.

The Bajau- Sea Gypsies
Bajaus are a colorful, festive and musical people.
Photographing People and culture of Asia
during the Regatta Lepa Festival in Semporna, Sabah.

 

The Bajau have been a nomadic, seafaring people for most of their history. Many  still practice that same lifestyle to this day, which explains why they are still commonly called "sea gypsies." They chart particularly the waters of the Sulu Sea,off the southwestern coast of the Philippines, and the various seas that surround the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. They come ashore only to bury the deceased and to live temporarily while making new boats called the " Lepa ". I had the chance to visit Semporna in the eastern town of Sabah (Malaysian Borneo) for the Regatta Lepa Festival in April 2008. More photos and stories about the Bajaus and other tribes in the May's issue of Asian Geographic Magazine.
