Devoted husband | Graphic Designer | Hedonist

'I adore the creative process as much as I enjoy life - which are two things I'll be concentrating on for now'
My favourite quote from Ansel Adams
'When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence'
Currently learning to speak Malaysian (Bahasa) which will also hopefully get me by in Indonesia as well.
In my (best) Malay:
Pengalman saya di Pinang begitu menyeronokkan
(I had a fantastic time in Penang)

theurbannexus says:
"This man's work compels one to stop for a while and listen to what he has to say. He communicates through his work a great sense of humanity and awareness of what people call 'the human condition'. From urban backstreets to portrait shots (that spring alive), I find true beauty shines through in Shem's work. He communicates his aims well and these shine through to the viewer. When he does this well, it makes us consider his viewpoint and reevaluate our own.
I also rather like Shem's ability to present work in a unique manner - be it tones, colours or perspective, his work and processing precision has a timeless feel that is both alluring and powerful."21st March, 2007

sengsta says:
"Shem takes great photographs but, more importantly, transforms them into mystical, glowing artefacts that burn with a unique light of their own through his remarkable post-processing skills. Whether they be portraits, landscapes, still life or images of buildings, Shem's compositions assume a life of their own, communicating stories and emotions through a complex combination of colour, tone, hue and grading. You cannot tear your eyes away from his images."
