Weekend in Batam: Documenting Our 3-Days Family Adventure

My Inspiration Behind This Trip I’ve always held onto a personal goal: to bring my parents on at least one proper trip out of Singapore every year. Something that would give them that genuine holiday excitement; that specific thrill of packing a proper suitcase and getting their passports stamped at the border. My dad actually has a long bucket list of places he’d love to see. But realistically, time and age are catching up, and we have to be very mindful of my mum’s physical pace, mental and stamina as well. Long-haul flights just aren't as feasible anymore, so I have to be intentional about finding destinations that are comfortable yet exciting for them. The spark for this specific trip happened when I passed my dad a pile of Batam travel brochures. As we were flipping through, one specific image caught all of our attention: the Pink Beach .  When I headed down to the travel agency to get more details, my mind was set.

Alright. Heavy investment I guess. But I  photography. 

Guess that's part of my plan in future. Setting up a small studio of mine for photoshoots.

But my guy said that I should start from home first. 

Right! He said he will not rent out the other room (of our new flat) to others and let me do my stuff.

Hey one more room is his entertainment room. Damn it! I think I shall share that room with him.

Half for me and half for him.

And we can still carry on with renting a room for extra income.

Why I photography? I don't know. Maybe influence by my dad previously who always pinpoint on how I take photos.

What I  to shoot on? Food, product and holiday peektures. Even if the food is awful, so long the shots are taken perfectly. Even if it is a lousy trip, so long it captures the best moment at the right place, at the right time. Even if I don't really use or think that product is good, capturing it in a way which will capture the heart of others.

My Instagram is flooded with food peeks! My Canon digicam captures all holiday, food and product peeks.

I found what I need for a start. For product shoots. Gonna make a trip down to Peninsula Plaza and see for myself.

So excited.

And then is a good camera. Deciding between Canon and Nikon. Any suggestions?

The list goes on. Never ending. But the dream will come through.

Do look for me in near future (maybe from 2014 onwards) for your product shoots. I will charge a reasonable price for a newbie me in this line. Remember my email: iamstellachen@ymail.com

Will set up another blog just as a gallery. Stay tune. I mean real soon. 

Will continue to learn and practice to be perfect one day.
