A (Somewhat) Comedic Conflict of Cultures above Kuala Lumpur

August 30, 2014 by TIA INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Kuala Lumpur. Christmas Eve. Horrendously hot. Morosely muggy. Extremely engrossing and exciting. During my time in KL*, I remember carrying a handkerchief in my pocket to serve two purposes: either to wipe the sweat from my brow, or defog my eyeglasses given all the moisture in the air. In this heavily humid atmosphere, my camera gear seemed to weigh twice as much as it typically did, but that was part of the adventure, and I knew it would be that […]

“State of Independence”

July 5, 2014 by TIA INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Hello, everyone! I hope you have all been having an excellent summer (or winter!) in your respective parts of the planet. I have been away for quite some time, but I plan to make the effort to be around much more frequently since I have recently detoxified and purged some long-term poisons in my professional and personal life! In the meantime, please enjoy a short time-lapse video of the US’ Independence Day celebrations observed here in Seattle last night. This […]

Seattle’s “Fog Affair”, The Sequel

October 24, 2013 by TIA INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

In January and February 2013, Seattle experienced some major low-lying fog for several consecutive days. When the fog descended upon Seattle, it literally transformed the city into something rather exotic and, to some extent, alien. Needless to say, it was quite exciting for TIA to capture several scenes around Seattle with this new, obscure ambiance hovering above the city! Seattle typically does not have thick, mystifying fog lingering around for several days. As a result, these everyday scenes one would […]

Hope & Irresponsibility

March 5, 2013 by TIA INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

I think it happened somewhere on Hope Street between W. 2nd & W. 3rd Streets, possibly a little after 8pm. It was the fourth day of November in 2011, a Friday night. I was enjoying the urban grid of the streets of LA on what turned out to be a very clear night. It had been raining when I arrived from Seattle (perhaps it followed me?), but the rain seemed to purge the city of its pollution and clear the night sky, if only […]

Can’t Get New York Out of My Head

July 28, 2012 by TIA INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Hi everyone! Please enjoy my latest photo video showcase, featuring the mega-metropolis known as New York City. This is my first full-length photo video since last year’s “Paris X.X.L.”! In addition to my passion for night-time photography and aerial photography, I often like to compile the hundreds, if not thousands, of photographs from one location and create a short video. What you’re viewing here, in many parts of the video, are four separate photos (or frames) per second. When viewed […]

High (Dynamic Range) on Houston

January 26, 2012 by TIA INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Enjoy a photo of Houston, captured on a taxi ride on an early August morning in 2010. Since we were going at 75 miles an hour, I had to set the ISO to 500 with aperture at f/2.8. I have posted the original image below. Some photographers are purists, meaning that they subscribe to the belief that as little alteration should be made to a photograph upon its presentation. It’s where the expression “SOOC” (Straight Out of the Camera) comes […]
