Photog Name : Alvin Ting

Shooting Since : As a casual hobby since 2007, as a serious endeavour 
since early 2009

Studio : I'd like to say anywhere since I like to shoot outdoors but I 
guess the real answer would be none yet.

Wake Up time/ Bedtime : I still got a dayjob so its the usual 7am - 12am 
unless I'm processing photos which would turn me into a zombie and I'll 
sleep sometimes around 4am.

Snack in my camera Bag I Can't live without : Erm... I've never had the 
need to store food in my camera bag yet.

Favorite Destination : Anywhere that will interest my photographic eye. 
My dream destination would be Japan.

Most Unusual Shoot location : Shooting a traditional wedding rite on a 
hanging bridge with at least two dozen people on it. Very very tight space.

Best Client : Well so far, officially, I've only shot one wedding as a 
principle photographer and one engagement ceremony.. so I guess they're 
my fave clients right now. My ideal client is one who will give their 
entire faith in me as a photographer with full creative control over the 
shoot and of course, who wants all the photos to be in B+W. That would 
be my fave client of all time!

Can't shoot without : My eyes.

Mentor : George Yong, of course (Hahaha...), but I'm also heavily 
influenced by the works of Dino Lara and Manuel Librodo Jr. They're both 
photographers from the Philippines (although Manuel is now based in 
Bangkok) and are masters at capturing the story during the moment of the 
particular shot and translates the mood of the story through the usage 
of colours (or lack of it).

Favorite Moment : Every time I know I nailed a good shot.
