We Are Hiring: Administrator & Graphic Designer

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

Fancy working in Malaysia’s most awarded wedding photography studio where magic and new things happen weekly? We are a team of world beaters who are constantly looking for the next peak to climb. We love attempting the impossible, blazing a new trail rather than taking the beaten path. The only thing constant at Louis Pang Studio is change. Still interested? Read on…

Administrator
This is a full time position. We are looking for an administrative talent with some accounting background. You must be quick to accomplish your tasks because tomorrow waits for nobody. You are calm when everyone panics. You carry a smile even when the sky falls down. You have sharp eyes when it comes to details and figures. You enjoy organizing stuff because you are so resourceful that you can solve any problems. You have a good command of English…well, good enough to catch Louis’ lame jokes. You don’t have to be the smartest person alive but you must have a can-do attitude, teachable spirit and willingness to try. You are a team player. You are expected to carry out your duties at a standard that befits an international award-winning team.

Graphic Designer
We are expanding our design team. We are looking for the right talent for this position. You are familiar with Dreamweaver, Photoshop & Illustrator and have a great sense of design and style. You are a hard worker who meets deadline and a creative soul that cannot tolerate mediocrity. Experience with Lightroom will be a plus but not a necessity.

If you are still reading and you think you are up for a great challenge and adventure. Please send your CV and application to jasmine (at) louispang.com. We would love to add two world beaters to our team.

See You at Nikon Show!

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

Nikon Malaysia is organizing a huge event at Mid Valley MegaMall from Oct 14-18. I’ll be speaking on Oct 18, 7:30pm on “Let There Be Light: The Art of Strobing”. Very excited to share my latest work and experience working with remote flash. I’ll be showing some yet-to-be released images and walk you through my execution and thought process in creating the shots.

Rumours have it that D3s would be on display. Well, your guess is as good as mine. Jimin Lai is talking about Photojournalism & Kelvin Chan speaks on American Landscape. There’s free sensor cleaning facility as well. Hope to meet some of you cool people there. Cheers!

Malaysia’s 1-2-3 finish at WPPI Print Comp!

This is such a fantastic news and encouragement for our photographers. Winning is nice. Winning together is so much nicer!

I am even prouder of your humility and gratitude. I appreciate the thank you notes…hey, don’t give me too much credit. You worked for it and you deserved it. Blessings everyone! Malaysia Boleh!

Patience Please

Friday, June 26th, 2009

I am not known for being patient. Modern workplace demands us to be effecient & fast. To be forcibly held back really pushes patience to the limit. But how else are we going to learn patience? Sometimes, a delay can be a divine intervention as well. A few things have happened in the last few weeks:

1. I got rid of my website and run a blogsite now. I will be adding a few galleries to the blogsite in the weeks to come.

2. The entire site is moved to a VPS. It is noticeably faster and more responsive.

3. We experienced some outages in the last few days because the tech guys were configuring a few things on the server to comply with Pick Pic, our online proofing and shopping cart system. The system is 100% back online now. Quite a number of you tried to register for our workshops online and you ran right smack into the migration problems we had. We’ve contacted you individually today and you can complete the registration & payment process now.

The guys at Integricity were responsive the needs of the site. I am so grateful for that…especially the nocturnal bunch who worked on the issues way past midnight. Can’t imagine doing this without their help.

Now, it is full steam ahead for the online education portal. We have already extended our working hours to make this a reality. Just stay tune :)

Migrating to a BIG SERVER

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

In the next 48 hours, my friends at Integricity will be migrating my website to a Virtual Private Server (VPS). So what does this mean to my loyal visitors & clients?

1. Faster loading – instead of sharing a server with 1000 websites, I have my own VPS dedicated for the site
2. Responsive – if you use our shopping cart you will enjoy faster response because the processing power of the server is dedicated for our own use.

If none of this happen after the migration, then we’ll egg Integricity’s office! YAY!

I am really excited about this and the new online education website that I will be introducing very, very soon. I can’t say more…just ecstatic with this project that it can bless and help many photographers in our region.
