I have never entered a new year with greater gusto and optimism. We are taking on so many new ventures simultaneously…not because we are over committing but because the window of opportunity is open. We must work while it is day time. When night falls, we will rest. For everyone on the Louis Pang Studio team, October 2009 to February 2010 is a time to work.

Here is a picture from a shoot I did last week…high key pictures seem to be the flavour of 2010 for me

Let me give you a sneak peek on what we are working on…

A presence in Kuala Lumpur
So many of our clients have come from this amazing city. We want to take great care of you guys with a permanent setup. It’s a cool place where you will be pampered the Louis Pang way. That’s all I can say for now. Expect to be wowed!

World Tour DVD
A project that spans two years, five weddings & across four continents. It is the first education DVD for photographers produced in Asia by an Asia-based photographer. I am truly excited about this. It’s been a marathon to edit, script, record voice over, do post production, author and finally send for production. We expanded it from 60 to 130 minutes of total content. January 2010 is the final leg of this two-year marathon and we sprinted towards the finish line, fumbled a bit because of our inexperience…but the finishing line is in sight. We are days from mass production. YAY!

If you have pre-ordered this DVD, you will receive it by 21 February.

Guerrilla Lighting Guide
Lighting is always the most important part of photography, whether we are using available or artificial light. Flashes however is always trickier because in the blink of an eye, the flash fired and was gone. Where did it hit? How was it shaped? What was the character? Sometimes, we don’t see it. Lighting is like a stubborn monster in an action movie. You thought you’ve got everything figured out and had it finished off…but it came back, alive and kicking, with a new problem that would haunt you for weeks. The more we learn about lighting, the more there is to learn about it.

The Guerrilla Lighting Guide, is a handy & straight forward reference to photographers. It shows the finished shot, the lighting diagram, and my thought process behind the shots. I hope that by sharing my success and failures, it will illuminate your photography.

Organizing workshops for seminars for over 350 people
Man, this is challenging. While we are loving it, being able to bring Joe McNally to Kuala Lumpur & hosting so many of you, it is also stretching our small team. It’s all good. What doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger. We have over 350 people coming from 9 different countries. WOW! We want you to have an awesome time with us.

Ok. I gotta get back to work, while it is still day.
