Hot on the heels of me receiving 7 IPA honorable mention awards, I received news that I received Merit Awards for 7 images in another Competition. This time, it’s the Master Photography Awards 2011! 7 is fast becoming my new lucky number!! Anyway here’s the excerpt from the email I received.

“Singapore based photographer, Michael Chan has won 7 merit prize in a major international photography awards.

For further information on Michael’s photography, visit his website at www.expressivelyjoho.com to find out more about the MPA go to www.thempa.com ”

And the following 7 images are the ones that received the Merit Awards.

Really happy that I won 7 Honorable Mention awards in this year’s International Photography Award.

Granted there wasn’t any Gold, Silver or Bronze award this time round, but there’s always room for more next year and it’s a truly enriching experience each time we submit images for competitions.

Here are the images that were awarded

In Wedding Category,

Elated I managed 2 awards in Architecture Category also, considering I barely get around to shoot much street photography nowadays.

About IPA:
The International Photography Awards is a sister-effort of the Lucie Foundation, where the top three winners are announced at the annual Lucie Awards ceremony. The awards event will be held at the Lincoln Center in New York on October 24, 2011, before returning to Los Angeles in 2012 in celebration of the 10-year anniversary. Over 8,000 submissions from 90 countries were received for the 2011 International Photography Awards with over 70 jurors, the largest to date. The Foundation’s mission is to honor master photographers, discover new and emerging talent, and promote the appreciation of photography. IPA is dedicated to recognizing contemporary photographers’ accomplishments in this specialized and highly visible competition. Visit www.photoawards.com for more details.

It has really been quite some time since I last updated my images on our expressivelyjOhO website, ever since 12 Feb 2009 to be exact!!! hahahaha

The lack of updates is in part due to the slightly more tedious process of updating the website proper, and also because I have also been truly busy over the last couple of years, both with work and with my personal life (having to contend with my newborn over the last 7-8 months). Add to that, the ease of updating the blog segment and/or facebook fanpage, led me further away from a long overdue website image refresh.

Well, I finally ended my procrastination a couple of nights back, when I took a couple of hours and sat thru a few batches of images i’d taken over the last year or so and picked out some for the update. Many thanks also to Sebastian, my trusty assistant for helping me with the uploads and making sure the page scrolls/work properly.

So please take a stroll down memory lane with me as we peruse through some of my newer works & of course even those that goes way back to when I first started wedding photography. Cheers!!

On a side note,would also like to mention that we’ve been nominated for Singapore Tatler’s “The Best of Singapore 2011″ for Wedding Photography, and that’s the 2nd year running we’ve been given the award. So here’s a big thank you to everyone for your continued support and encouragement.

douglas and ling bought me coffee beans from italy to keep me awake while i edit the photos! so thanx heaps guys!

so this edit was done with many a lovely picolo latte; mmm might get myself another one right now.

coffee aside, i remember the day as a little bride with so much happiness and her gentle (as in gentlemanly) groom who make the perfect couple!

I’ve known Kein for a long time now and was delighted to be invited over to Melbourne to witness & cover his wedding. Ellen, I’ve never met before this trip, but once we settled down and got to talking, I know this lady is Kein’s soul mate. They are just so lovely and compatible in every way. And much like their Garden Wedding, I wish their lives will be ever so beautiful and blessed.

Here’s a sneak peak of their lovely Wedding.

Quick post to give you good peeps a sneak peak @ the lovely wedding that I covered over the weekend before I return to my hectic June schedule. Will try ta check back again soon!
