“Shooting For The Stars”
August 25th, 2010 | Personal, Weddings
Four years ago, The Star’s award-winning writer Chin Mui Yoon, interviewed me along with two very established photographers for a feature on wedding photography. Then I was a scruffy newbie barely a year into the trade. Who is this guy Louis Pang? That article probably raised a few eyebrows. I was too happy to be given a shot at national fame.
Four years on, Mui Yoon and I crossed path again to talk about winning the WPPI International Portrait Print of The Year. It is remarkable to see how both of us had grown in our careers and lives. She’s bagged international journalism awards along with a loving husband. All of us at Louis Pang Studio are honored to be featured in our country’s largest English daily, The Star.
I am particularly honored by Bill Hurter’s remark, whom Mui Yoon interviewed via email. It is so strange to be mentioned along side Joe Buissink and Marcus Bell, two master photographers who I admire and respect deeply.
Just a couple of corrections to the article:
1. I am the eldest of two boys. Never had girls at home.
2. Jasmine and I started our business at our home, not my mum’s house.
To read the three-page feature story, you can download this PDF. Love the layout.

Awesome. My secretary came up to me that morning and brought the article and asked me “Isn’t this the photographer who shot your KK photos?” Too bad I was too busy the next couple of days but at least I got to read the article. Congrats again.

Every girl has her own wedding dreams and I’d like mine just be like yours in those beautiful photos.
Even though a wedding is too far for me right now, but its very nice to see the realisations of others.
Thank you.
