It has been 6 months since my first images were accepted and being exclusive on Dreamstime. I am not much of a writer so I am just going to put bits and pieces of my thoughts in point form.

Microstock agencies like Dreamstime can really help new / fresh photographer improve their skills. I know it has helped me.

- It has thought me a LOT on the technical aspects (understanding why an image gets rejected). To look and understand RGB histograms, use tools like Capture NX to solve those issue etc.

- It has thought me a LOT on composition than just blindly clicking on the shutter on anything and everything.

    About Me
Braendan Yong (Braendan)
Petaling Jaya, MY

Enthusiastic.

That is the word that would describe how I feel about photography. There is not one wedding, events or even a commercial session that does not keep me awake the night before with ideas running wild in my mind conceptualizing angles and moments to be captured.

My name is Braendan Yong, and I am a photographer.

I focus mostly on wedding and commercial shoots. Most of my commercial work is for Dreamstime.com, the highly popular international stock agency.

I depend heavily on understanding my clients' needs, while I throw in a touch of personal technique, coupled with experience from multiple fields and good equipment to deliver the best.

Apart from wedding and commercial shoots I am also a Pro Trainer at the Nikonian Academy. At the academy, I frequently experiment and push the limit of photography; bringing the results I discover to the classroom to share with the students and participants.
