My first assignment as a FREELANCE PHOTOGRAPHER was in SHANGHAI WORLD EXPO 2010 . I was sent by the MACAO MAGAZINE to photograph the MACAO PAVILION. The photo of the Macao Pavilion was used in the Cover Page of the Magazine in the July 2010 issue.
Aomen, Stills & Moments – is a photobook and a compilation of some of my personal favorite photographs which I took during my stay in Macao (from 2006-2010).

Fotógrafo - Steadfast1898 in Action

Back in 2006, Leighton Asia requested a manpower support to my previous company in Manila. The Leighton China State JV is was in need of a Building Services Coordination Engineers (BSC Engineer) to do a detailed combined coordination installation drawings in Wynn Casino Resort Project in Macao SAR.
When I heard the news from one of the Manager in the office, I volunteer to be part of the team. I asked the President of the company that I want to be part and lead the team of CAD and BSC Engineer that will be send to Macao. I was so grateful he approved my request.
It is in Macao, I discovered my passion, learned and developed my skills in photography.
Macao is an Awesome Experienced . Below are some of the images I captured in Macao.

Since Hong Kong is so accessible from Macao, In most occasion I spent my Weekend in Hong Kong, meet my Peng Millan. Our business is to visit a camera store in Stanley Street or do a photowalkaton w/ some other friends.
Btw, Millan and I will never leave Hong Kong without visiting the Fat Angelo’s Italian Restaurant in Soho and Lan kwai Fong to taste their AWESOME PIZZA.
In some event I joined Master O or EB on their visit to the Outlaying Islands

When the Wynn Encore Project has been completed in April 2010, most of us were sent back to Manila. Leighton has no Job to Offer in Macao then.
Before leaving Macao, the Macao Magazine called me and offered me to do some photographs in the Shanghai World Expo. After a few days of stay in the Philippines, I went to Shanghai and spent a week there to accomplished my Assignment.

After my four (4) years of stay in Aomen ( Macau) , I took a job in Doha Qatar in a Catering Facility Project in the New Doha International Airport as a Sr. Testing & Commissioning Engineer.
Qatar is strict when it comes to Photography. People are conservative, this is because of the culture and religion. Unlike in Macau and Xiang Gang (Hong Kong)
there is FREEDOM in PHOTOGRAPHY.
Here are some of the Few Images I Captured in more than a year of my stay in Doha
Doha’s Finest

Heroes of Zubarah

Karl Batchelor says:
"Hi Allan, this is just my way of saying thank you for being such a great contact. What stands out to me when I write this is just how consistently you produce excellent images. With over 1000 images uploaded it would be easy to let that high standard slip but with each passing shot, it becomes more and more apparent that you are a skilled and dedicated photographer. I feel it has been my privilege to have been a contact and what’s more I wish you every success in the future.
Your friend

"I keep coming back to Allan's photo stream and every time I do I find a new favorite! He is an amazing photographer with some of the most excellent night shots I have ever seen! In addition to that he is also very kind to advise amateurs like me. I aspire to be even a fraction as good as he is one day!
I have deemed the beautiful blue color in his night shots as "Steadfast Blue" and everytime I see that shade I think of his work!
Blessings,
Leisa DeThomas"25th June, 2009

"My mentor, a good friend and a fitting older brother for me!
Has always been very patient with me and very generous in teaching the proper ways of doing the art of photography.
My accomplishments in flickr is obvious because of him.
It is actually his accomplishments.
Seeing his works is an inspiration.
Don't take my word for it.
See it for yourself in his streams.
I know, I have a lot to learn from my mentor and my peng you.
He is far way ahead of me.
But he still reach out to someone like me.
Definitely Allan is a blessing to me.
Maraming salamat for your generosity kaibigan!
God bless u bro!"7th March, 2009
