      i am such a huuuuuge fan of yours! what you do at such a young age is so amazing! you remind me of nirrimi :) I hope you dont mind me asking, what theme is your blogspot? thank you for inspiring me x

      Aw you are amazing! Nirrimi inspired me to start fashion photography, so that's a massive compliment for me! My blogspot theme is customized. I think I took the original layout and changed it to my liking.

      Hey, a little advice for nighttime photography.. What setting you always use for nighttime photography? And do you use any preset after that for your night photos?

      It really depends on what I'm shooting but generally I use a large aperture and high ISO since I'm usually not carrying around a tripod! I don't really mind the grain anyway. I don't have a particular preset for night photos.

      Hello, do you use any presets for color editing for your photos? :)

      Yes. I always change around presets for each photo, though!

      Hi! I'm a Singaporean and I always found the Singaporean landscape dull and boring, but your photos from your trip to Singapore are really amazing, it makes Singapore look so pretty. You're a really fantastic photographer! (:

      Thank you so much! x

      I know youre busy but I'll ask you anyway: do you use any UV filters at all? Do you think they're useful? Also, how often do you get your lenses/camera cleaned? Where and how? Thank you so much :)

      Yes I usually use UV filters only because I've heard stories about cameras dropping and the UV filter protecting the lens. It also prevents scratches and stuff on the actual lens. I have never cleaned my lenses or camera but my 5D Mark II has heaps of dust on the sensor but it doesn't seem to affect the images, so I'll leave it for now :P. You should be able to get them cleaned at any camera store.

      hi! it's fashion week here in my country and im going to attend a fashion show later. can you tell me what camera settings i should use? :)

      Hi, I usually use Aperture Priority for backstage/outside shooting and Manual for runway stuff. This is because I don't want to risk missing any moments backstage fiddling with settings. And for runway I shoot manual to get consistent photos. Hope this helps! :)

      Hi, ever used an 18-135mm lens on a Canon? I just got mine and I can't seem to set the aperture enough to blur the background! Also, how do you usually set your aperture in your photos (esp when blurring the background), they're amazing!

      Hi, you would need a lens that will let you blur the background. I would suggest a 50mm 1:8 since it is pretty cheap and gives a pretty good result. The 1:8 is the bit that gives you a blurry background. The lower the number, the blurrier the background.

      I thought I knew you, so I followed you on instagram, but I'm not sure I do, so I didn't want to feel like a werido for following you, since you don't know me, so I unfollowed.

      Hahahah it's okay.. I hardly know anyone who follows me on Instagram :)

      hey! do you usually shoot on film? which digital camera do you use? i have a 550D and im wondering if i should invest in a 5D...also lightroom/photoshop? :) p.s. love your photos btw!! young photographers/bloggers really inspire me to start up a blog too

      I usually shoot digital but would shoot film all the time if I had the money. I use a Canon 500D but I am saving up for a 5D. It is definitely worth investing in! I use Lightroom for colour editing and Photoshop for touch ups. Thank you so much and I'm glad I inspire you :)

      with your digital camera, do you shoot JPEG or RAW? what do you find better for editting?

      JPEG because RAW takes up too much space and is too slow on my poor old MacBook. I find that JPEG is good enough anyway! I'm never disappointed with the quality :)

      sorry for all the questions, but when you bought it off that website, what was the condition of it? (hope that makes sense) xo

      The A-1? It had a bit of an old smell but other than that it was perfect! (and I kinda like the old smell)

      what lens do you use on your canon a-1? also how much did both the body and lens cost you? thankss xo

      50mm f/1:4. They came together and cost around $160 from www.keh.com. I definitely recommend it!
