Hello hello,
I'm a Starving Artist with a camera who enjoy life to the fullest 8-)
I currently shoot digital for work but I always love the quality from a 4&5 large format sheet film.
Digital for work, film for 'play'. *grins*
But starving artist cannot go out and play when one is hungry, as such, do see my work featured here @ www.tedadnan.asia
I have a fan page here in facebook.
If you like what you see, help me put food on the table by hiring me for your photography need. I can be contacted via e-mail @ tedadnan@gmail.com or my mobile @ +(6) 012 - 231 5654.
I am willing to travel for assignments. If you want to discuss and idea for a shoot do let me know, I like to exercise my 'grey matter' too :D
I am at home both in a studio environment and on locations.
I teaches lighting workshops as well :D
I was one of official Sony Alpha trainers for Sony Alpha Malaysia (2008-2009).
I am ambidextrous and I can converse in Mandarin in addition to English and my native language Bahasa Melayu. I used to do accounts in my previous life as an office drone (LOL), if anyone care to know that is *grins*.

(When you are Ted Adnan, do you need a testimonial?) ~ that is the question i asked myself repeatedly before i write this. but i succumbed to my conscience that i still need to write it. why? my highest regards to him as my sifu and friend. his works, speak loud and clear. his arts, add more colors to our lives. his lightings, a new science for me. his humility, humbles me as a newbie in photography. when i grow up, i wanna be like Ted Adnan!

Ted...what to say that hasn't been said? The starving artist, the inspirational afro chinaman? Pagoda shirts? He's got it all man, especially that wild here. Ted is the master of lights, and one guy I really look up to with his fantastic attitude, ability to teach and willingness to share what he knows. Big respect to Ted for enriching the Malaysian photographic scene.
Read lessone word only Inspirational !!!
Ted's work are both amazing and mind blowing. I have been to 1 of his workshops and he does shed the light (pun intended) on flash photography. If you commission him to do any work, you'll be highly unlikely to regret it! Great photographer with a wonderful personality. It is I that am not worthy.. :D
Deeply admired your works... since I joined flickr, I always follow your worked here..
For me, Ted Adnan is an artist and a teacher. Ted's Beginner Lighting Class had been an eye opener for me who have absolutely very little knowledge of lightings. I felt like a kid attending first day of school, excited and terrified at the same time. All the jargons used made me scared. As I stared blankly at Ted,… Read more
For me, Ted Adnan is an artist and a teacher. Ted's Beginner Lighting Class had been an eye opener for me who have absolutely very little knowledge of lightings. I felt like a kid attending first day of school, excited and terrified at the same time. All the jargons used made me scared. As I stared blankly at Ted, he must have realized that. :P But Ted made me feel at home during the practical side. Using what he taught earlier in theory and put it in practical. It was amazing how those wierd alien jargons didnt feel so wierd anymore,.. and when the outcome can be seen in the pictures that I took, it was just thrilling.. It made more sense! He showed me how to use those 'technical' knowledge, apply em to come up with something that appeals to me and my soul.. "meet me half way" kinda thing! :) What I like about Ted the teacher is that, Ted let me be myself. And I appreciate that. Ive been an admirer of Ted's Art work for quite some times. He is never selfish of his knowledge, always share.. and speaks the truth.. I believe, that itself make him a true artist. Good work Ted. U know that Im an admirer, not a 'follower'.. U make me want to learn and improve. Thank you!
Read lessted, first and foremost, is a friend of mine. he is also one of my photographic teachers [one of the best lighting guru in KL] who patiently teaches his students. thank you, cikgu.
