Autobiography

Allow me to introduce myself. Friends call me WILLIAM. Yes, that’s my nickname. I’m a guy who is going to become a man soon. Born in Yangon, Burma, hailed from a very beautiful beach town, TAVOY, located in southern part of Burma. Crushed on photography in early 2002 (my sophomore year at Assumption University of Thailand) and started as an amateur with the very first camera in my life, Fujifilm S-5500. Friends always believe that I have succeeded photography from my parents. Don’t get wrong, both my Dad and Mom are medical doctors. When it comes to photography, it’s neither generation nor background. It just unconditionally grows in me. Whenever I feel stress, I take along my camera and have some outdoor shots. Inadvertently, I always get good photos while I am under stress.

In 2007 August, I have come across with a free photo blogging society called PhotoBlog. Since then, I have started sharing series of photos through Photoblog. It’s been my big dream having my own cyber-room to stock a large assortment of my expression photos and documentaries with tailored customizations and superior manifestations. Dream comes true in 2008 October. Special credits go to MYO KYAW HTUN for his WORDPRESS installations and thousands of troubles he bears.

Other Tips

I am fairly different! I rarely have SUNSETS and MOUNTAINS in my life. WHY??? Because I feel so BORED shooting these (but I do have some). I am keen in EXPRESSiON PiCTORiALS, RURAL LiVES and TRADiTiONS DOCUMENTARIES. Have you ever seen a kid crying helplessly? Or a street vendor warring under intense sunlight and struggling to sell his products? Yes, they are things mainly INDUCE me. I love taking pictures in rustic atmosphere and deciphering them in my own connotations. I fancy NIKON cameras, flashes and NIKKOR lens. Wanna see my equipment and gadgets? Please visit my Shooting Gears page. Oh… one thing, I rarely use flash in my photos.

I have some IDOLS. For LIVES photos, Nyaung Oo Pho Cho and Shwe Inn Thar Khin Mg Win are my GODS. When it comes to PORTRAITS, I get impressed on Peter, K.George (L.A) and Moe Min (Rays). I have my close friends whom I normally share photography know-how. They are ThaKhinGyi (EMO – Mandalay) and Naing Naing Tunn (EXPOSURE – Yangon).

Stories Behind My Shots

Yes, I have a very custom of writing descriptive stories (narrations) for every individual photo shot. Some people said, “a good photo need not to possess any single word.” However, I have a feeling that composing these fairy-tales formulates my photos livelier and gorgeous. More importantly, I am addicted to it. Sometimes, people curiously want to know why I took a particular photo or what sort of mood I was wearing while shooting.

Me & My Arts

Every single day, I stand on my emotion to translate the world in my eyes into the language of photography. I will definitely be holding my camera until my last breath…
