# DigitallyByAlvin > Portrait, event and wedding photography in Singapore ## Posts - [White on white](https://digitallybyalvin.com/white-on-white/): Six days in Namibia in July, and the frames I kept are the ones where I stopped fighting the light. Zebras against almost nothing, a giraffe on a blank ground, and one leopard in full colour to show it was a decision. - [The kite makers](https://digitallybyalvin.com/the-kite-makers/): Four days in Kelantan with two crafts running side by side: wau kites built over weeks to be let go of, and wayang kulit puppets that only exist properly as a shadow on a lit screen. - [Three kinds of cold](https://digitallybyalvin.com/three-kinds-of-cold/): Six days in Hokkaido in February, photographing cranes, foxes, swans and sea eagles. Four subjects, four kinds of waiting, and only one of them rewards standing still. - [The horses on the ice](https://digitallybyalvin.com/the-horses-on-the-ice/): At Chagan Lake in Jilin the winter net is still brought in by horses walking a beam in circles on the ice. On the same surface, a crowd stands watching. I was there at the end of December. - [Autumn at the end of the road](https://digitallybyalvin.com/autumn-at-the-end-of-the-road/): A week photographing in Xinjiang in September: street portraits in hard light, larch valleys turning, a river bend everybody shoots, and what a week alongside a stronger photographer actually changes. - [Light through smoke](https://digitallybyalvin.com/light-through-smoke/): Fifteen frames from a charcoal works: shafts of light through the roof, men loading wood, and smoke thick enough to make the light look solid. Most of us only meet the product as a bag at a barbecue. - [The hour before the sun](https://digitallybyalvin.com/the-hour-before-the-sun/): Everyone climbs to the Bromo viewpoint for sunrise over the caldera. The frames I kept were made the evening before, in an arranged session, by light a man carried in his hand. - [A square full of wings](https://digitallybyalvin.com/a-square-full-of-wings/): Almost the whole Nepal set is cropped to a wide cinema frame. This is about that decision — what it does to a square full of pigeons, and what it costs. - [The pilgrims, not the cathedrals](https://digitallybyalvin.com/the-pilgrims-not-the-cathedrals/): Eighteen days in December 2024 on a Franciscan pilgrimage through Spain, France and Portugal, led by Fr John-Paul Tan OFM. The discipline was to photograph the people rather than the buildings, and I did not always keep to it. - [The day after the festival](https://digitallybyalvin.com/the-day-after-the-festival/): The Golden Eagle Festival in western Mongolia is a performance, photographed by hundreds of people at once. Two days later, with one family on a ridge, the same thing was just work. The second day made the better pictures. - [Close enough to be looked at](https://digitallybyalvin.com/close-enough-to-be-looked-at/): In September 2023 the CICM priests in Mongolia asked me to come and help document a papal visit — the first any pope had made to that country. I went with a media pass and a job to do. I came home and asked to be baptised. - [Gubbio on the dining table](https://digitallybyalvin.com/gubbio-on-the-dining-table/): Nobody was going anywhere in May 2020, so the dining table became a studio and the husky became the subject. He needed no treats, no toy and no coaxing, which is not how this usually goes. ## Pages - [Enquire](https://digitallybyalvin.com/enquire/): Tell Alvin what you have in mind. He reads every enquiry himself and replies within one working day. - [Boudoir Photography in Singapore](https://digitallybyalvin.com/boudoir/): These sittings are private by default. Alvin works alone, the sitter sets the pace, and nothing leaves the session she has not seen and approved herself. - [Travel Photography in Singapore](https://digitallybyalvin.com/travel/): Alvin travels light and photographs what a place is doing rather than what it is famous for. Most of these were taken on the walk back to the hotel. - [Event Photography in Singapore](https://digitallybyalvin.com/events/): Alvin works the edges of a room and keeps the camera quiet. The pictures people keep are almost never the ones they posed for. - [Pet Photography in Singapore](https://digitallybyalvin.com/pets/): Animals do not perform, so Alvin does not ask them to. He arrives early, sits on the floor, and waits for the moment the dog forgets he is there. - [Portrait Photography in Singapore](https://digitallybyalvin.com/portraits/): Portrait sittings in Singapore: two hours, one location, available light, thirty edited frames. Alvin Chan photographs people who forget the camera is there. - [Photographer in Singapore](https://digitallybyalvin.com/): Alvin Chan photographs people, animals and places, mostly in Singapore and occasionally a long way from it. Portraits, pets, events, travel. - [Blog](https://digitallybyalvin.com/blog/) [comment]: # (Generated by Hostinger Tools Plugin)
