About Signature Photographers
Zung, Patrick Low, Jason Victor and David Chua began their wedding photography careers in Malaysia at a time when photographers were called “cameramen” and deliverables for a wedding photography shoot included 35mm negatives. A time when actual day photography was mostly covered on a part-time basis by photographers of local dailies and the approach to wedding photography was just that: “newspaper” type angles and compositions, hardly candid and rarely natural. There was little thought put into presentation and packaging, and almost no proper representation to lift the perception of the general public towards wedding photographers.Recognizing that there was much room for improvement, these 3 individuals (David Chua decided to pursue other ventures and subsequently left the group) got together and before long, they were having “the tarik” sessions for discussions into a common vision, a vision to set and gradually improve standards of the photographers within the group. A couple of years and a few hundred litres of the tarik later, Signature Photographers was formed in 2004. Various aspects of Wedding Photography were identified and deliberated over and through their discussions, sharing of knowledge and ideas, the vision of what remotely resembled a truly professional wedding photography outfit started to take shape.Along the way, more photographers who shared the same vision and passion surfaced and this resulted in four new additions to Signature Photographers in 2008. The new faces included the likes of Louis Pang, Jim Liaw, Jenny Sun and Edmund Tham, all accomplished (and award winning) photographers in their own right. The addition of the four highly talented individuals added further substance to the group with the likes of Jim being an Associate of Art as accredited by the Master Photographer Association UK, Louis having won numerous WPPI (Wedding and Portraits Photographers International) awards, Edmund a 1st prize winner in a WPJA (Wedding Photo Journalist Association) run competition and Jenny having won Best Album Cover Design (which featured her creative concept, styling, and photography) in the AIM awards 2008.Looking to the Future With the combined exposure the group has accumulated from covering weddings and other events in various locations all over the globe, Signature Photographers continue to learn daily of the different standards, methods, techniques and styles of photography the world has to offer – rest assured, it is our aim to continue “Bringing International Standards to Malaysia”.
