ATFT Photography is officially launched.

bookpage1bookpage2

I have had a rather quiet but productive weekend simply because the internet was down since last Friday. I am still amazed how much stuff I’ve done around the house without the distractions from internet. A quick recap – I’ve done my taxes for the business (hate doing it!); I’ve steamed a medium size snapper for dinner and passionfruit ice cream for dessert; then I also made way too many macarons but have yet to perfect it; and last but not least …

…a little face lift on the blog and I finally finished my food photography portfolio! Hooray!

The ATFT Photography is a website to showcase some of my food photography.

How did it all started? It was three years ago when I was asked to photoshoot a hotel conference at Hilton Sydney which was my first paid gig. I am glad that the brief for the job was flexible and fit perfectly into my shooting style – I am the story teller by capturing the “special moment”. They were very happy with my work and I’ve been shooting the conference every year since.

Then A Table For Two was born in 2008, slowly I started taking more and more photos of food and my obsession in food photography is undeniable. I am very lucky to have readers who admire my food photography and still reading this blog regularly. Then totally out of the blue, Mad Mex contacted me and next thing I know I was shooting burritos for them! It was a fun day no doubt.

Anyway, I’ll shut up now and let my portfolio do the talking.

ENJOY!

    Totally awesome. Love the design of the book too. Congrats on it!

      Thanks Karen! Are you sure? I just checked, seems working fine for me. Which browser you using? Have to admit I havenn’t check it in PC, so wouldn’t know how it looks like…

        LOL. That might be why. I’m looking at it at work’s ancient PC computer on Internet Explorer. Eck….

    There’s no hope. There’s seriously no hope for someone like me to get to this level. Though it’s a bit depressing for me, it shows off the calibre of your talent.

    Seriously envious dude, as well as some seriously, seriously nice work :)

    • Billy November 16, 2009 at 9:41 am #

      You don’t need hope; put hope into actions. :) It only took me more than 5 years in photography and 2 years in food photography. You only bought a DSLR couple of months back, still a long way to go mate.
      Keep it up!

    Stellar photos as always Billy. Your shots are always an inspiration. It’s a beautifully designed website too. Congrats and I expect a lot more work coming your way!

    Oh Billy, they’re awesome photos – how otherwise could a pageful of uncooked azuki beans look soooo attractive! Congratulations on your wonderful efforts =)

    Wow Billy, wow… how do you find time to do all the things you do… and do them so well. I love you and your work, but you do make me feel very inadequate :P

    P.S. any chance you can do my taxes too, now you’ve got the hang of it!

    • Billy November 16, 2009 at 6:23 pm #

      hehehe, well that’s what old people do when they lock themselves in the house in central coast and got nothing better to do. :P
      Tax? You have a broker yourself at home!

    Hi. I follow your blog.
    Beautiful pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I have a question to ask. How did you obtain the turning pages effect?
    I wanted to do something like that to publish my grandma’s repices.
    Can you give me some info, pleeease :) )

  23. Julie November 17, 2009 at 8:12 pm #

    Love the food portfolio! Mind me asking what gear you use? (body + lenses?) if not thats okay :) . I am having trouble getting pass page 22 on the website maybe its just my computer. Good luck with the portfolio!

    so achingly beautiful.
    and it made me so happy that there is no flash involved. just simple click navigation. thank you for resisting the oh-so-comfy urge designers have to do everything in flash!

    just wanted to let you know i have bookmarked this and whenever i will be feeling blue i’ll just cruise by and watch your pretty pictures.

    Billy!!! Very late to the bandwagon, but golly your new site is beautiful. Love the aesthetic. (And was super chuffed to see that my totally-wrong-and-very-wonky chopstick holding technique found its way in there too).

    Good luck with getting more gigs! :)
