The Talented Mr. Jack Tan

I love taking photos... But guess what i love more than that?? Having my photos taken! : )

I'm so very very lucky i have the privilege and honour of knowing Jack. He's my big brother Sean's BESTEST friend. They have known each other for a very lonnnggg time. Their friendship goes waaaayyyyy back to their Uni days in Australia when they were both studying at Curtin University in Perth.

the talented Master Jack Tan!

Jack and my bro first dabbled in photography when they purchased their 1st SLR camera. Sean tried taking some nice photos at dinners then lost interest cause he decided he preferred eating instead *nom nom..can't...take..nom...photos...nomnom...MUST. EAT...nom nom...*

my big brother Sean...(who's getting bigger by the day...hahah!)

Jack continued to pursue his passion and through practice and perseverance... is now an AMAZING photographer!

A few months ago Jack asked me to help him pose for a photo competition; The Essense of Subaru...Warren, Mickey, Jack and myself chose a secluded spot outside Kota Permai Golf Club to shoot some pictures. Overall it was a fun shoot albiet frustrating at times cause cars kept driving past and slowing down to see what we were doing...(not so secluded after all!)

(i like this photo cause i always secretly wanted to pose like a GT girl..heheh)

Then down to serious business...After a few attempts... correction after MANY MANY attempts, Jack finally came up with this...

He named this shot "The Essence of Subaru...Turning Heads..."

This amazing shot went on to win the Grand Prize of the competition... : )

As with many great photographers, he's rarely seen without his camera. He brings it with him on his travels and took some really nice shots...

like this one in Cameron Highlands...

...Australia...

...New Zealand...

(postcard worthy don't you think??)

...Europe...

And has an eye for capturing natural scenery...

I also think he made a real cunning move by marrying the beautiful and brilliant Joyce...
(free modelling ma...hahaha)

Jack's always kind and generous with his time and skills. He's very supportive of his friends and is always patient with his subjects...

This photo was taken at Sean's birthday dinner...

...and i'm an ever willing subject!

At Elaine's Birthday recently....

(Melissa, Me, Dad, Mum, Elaine, Sean, Lavinia and the happy Mr. and Mrs. Tan)

Outside the restaurant, Jack couldn't resist taking another shot of these 2 hot girls...

(and of course the BrainyBombshell...)

...and i couldn't resist the opportunity to pose...

Jack's marked innate ability also includes capturing lovers at their best...

(hullo?? the whole family is here...get a room...)




And their worst!

(that's better...)






He shoots beautiful award-winning photos for couples prior to their wedding...



(this stunning photo was shot at Menara KL...)




...and captures touching moments at their wedding...




I like this photo of Father Daniel of the Holy Rosary Church...the coolest priest i know!




this is my favourite shot of all time...The solemnisation has just ended and the party is adjourning...The Bride and Groom are stealing a moment with each other...can't get anymore candid than this!!!


Jack is ever supportive of his friends and always makes time for them...He spent 2 whole days taking photos for our boutique Chique...



...our gorgeous model Shannel...
(of course it did help that Shannel is such a sexxxy babe!)







...and loads of photos of ME!





...ME...



...ME....


...still ME...(it IS my blog after all!!)...


and ME!!!
Thanks Kor, for having making the right move of not hating Jack too much in Metropolitan College when he used to wear his hair long (and tossing it about like in a pantene ad..) and making him ur best friend. He sure is one helluva good guy!
