Landing

In general the back side of an animal is not always it’s best side. However, since the face and eye is visible in this image of a landing seagull, it doesn’t matter that the photo was taken from behind.

Singaporean Wedding Couple

As a wedding photographer myself, it is always interesting to see how wedding photographers in other countries operate. So I stole a few shots from the side in Singapore. The Marina Bay Sands and Supertrees can be recognized in the background.
