A short story

about me

Hi, I'm Bernard.

I started out in 1999, shooting wedding photography on film — back when everything was slower, and every frame mattered. Over the years, I've worked with more than 800 couples, helping them capture moments they can return to long after the day has passed.

That experience shaped how I see storytelling. It's not about perfect shots — it's about what's real, what's felt, and what stays with people.

In 2016, I went on to pursue a Master's in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography in London. That was when I started looking at storytelling a little differently — not just capturing moments, but exploring ideas and perspectives through visual work.

These days, I still work across both photography and video, but the approach hasn't really changed. Keep it simple, stay present, and focus on what matters.

I've also been teaching since 2019, working with students and learners to help them build a strong foundation in visual storytelling. I'm currently a Leica Akademie Tutor with Leica Singapore, where I continue to share what I've learned along the way.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Corporate Trivia !

In one sentence, what do you do?

I am a Memory Bank Broker. I don't just take photos; I secure your event's emotional equity, ensuring every guest has a lifelong account filled with the day's best moments.

What's something small that always makes your day better?

A 20-minute power nap — just enough to reset without losing the day.

What do you enjoy doing when you're not working?

Spending time with my daughter.

One random thing you love that has nothing to do with your job?

My car — it's where I get a bit of space to think and reset.

If a friend had to describe your "vibe", what would they say?

Chill and relaxed — steady, nothing too rushed.

What's one small teaching habit you have that others might not notice?

I'm overly positive.

Share 2–4 past projects, works, or experiences you feel best represent your journey.

I'm super grateful for my opportunities and the events I've covered.

LivGolf Singapore — I started playing when I was 14, and now being able to capture these pros in action is awesome.
Specifically requested by a client to travel to Brazil and cover a UN conference, COP 30. Being recognised for my ability to deliver at an international level for the Ministry is truly an honour.
A regular client whisked me off to Sydney to shoot their corporate event at Sail GP. Trusting me to deliver wherever they have their events is a testament that I'm doing something right.
Covering River Hong Bao since 2018 is something I look forward to every year. When a recurring client stays with me for that long, I feel grateful for their trust.
Photographing events for brands like Apple, Nike, GYG, BMW — bands and brands I love and support — is the cherry on the cake.

How many years have you been in your field, teaching, training, or mentoring?

I've been in my industry since 1999 and have been training photographers since 2005.

What do you enjoy most about teaching?

The moment a learner has an 'ah-ha' moment — when a mental block has been cleared.

If your class had one "unwritten rule", what would it be?

I don't know what you don't know, so please ask more questions.
