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

I studied advertising and design during college but ended up working in the IT industry instead. My first camera then was the Canon T60 although it was used only for a brief moment; my love for arts had never left me.

The urge of doing something more constructive with my free time made me reconsider taking up activities with artistic inclination. Somehow photography became a natural choice for me because it allows me to express my views of a moment by considering both memorable elements and technical requirements required to capture that moment in time.

My main subject interest would be stock photography and events though I prefer to experiment with different subjects because I would be able to fuse these experiences and provide something which defies convention.

If you are tired of something ordinary and would like to have a different perspective of things or the way things are done drop me an email.
