Royale Wif Cheese's photostream  

Royale With Cheese's stroll into the photography world came by chance only about a year back.

He happened to come across his Grand Uncle's Yashica Electro GS by chance. During the annual Lunar New Year visiting, he noticed a beautiful vintage camera bag with the shiny "Yashica" words across it. The moment he opened the camera bag & saw the Yashica Electro GS, he knew, the wonders he could capture behind that beautiful lens.

Armed with just a close to 40 year old camera & no knowledge in photography, he took it to the streets & captured street candids.

What the vintage camera captured, marveled him! It showed him that film was very much alive! Shooting film taught him much patience & knowledge a digital could never teach.

Till now, Royale With Cheese, chooses to shoot on film, for pictures on film "speaks" to their viewer. The beauty of film marvels him, for it is never sharp & clean, it has grains & film scratches, just like life, never perfect.....

When not behind the camera, Royale With Cheese works for a highly established private aviation firm which stocks & sells aircraft spares.

He is a weekend warrior in photography, choosing to stick to Rangefinders than Single Lens Reflex Cameras.

Royale With Cheese's favorite subject to capture would be street candids. Especially local life in Singapore.

His asernal includes his Grand Uncle's Yashica Electro GS 35 & Bessa Voigtlander R3A
