Wow! I’m speechless! My work is being published by UK’s Worship Central on their blog! No, not just an article but as a permanent fixture on their blog template. *jumps up in the air with hands raised to the heavens* Woohoo!

Last year, I volunteered my services to assist Alpha Singapore to take some shots for the Planetshakers and Tim Hughes Concert, a collaboration with Worship Central. It was for charity and I think it’s a way for me to give back to the Christian community for the number of times I’ve skipped church over the weekends! Hah! To be honest, one of the reasons is because I believe that my photography talent is attributed to one person and that is my lovely Jesus. Without Him, I’m nothing. Thus, I always believe that it is important to give back wherever and whenever you can. I seized the opportunity when I saw the ad in the local Singapore newspaper about the upcoming event and called up the organising sponsors. Met up with them and showed them some of my work. They were happy and I was given an “OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHER” tag. The rest of it was history. Not just any history because it was history in the making.

I’ve decided to show you some of the photos I took of that great night of worship with over 5,000 people in a jam-packed hall. Planetshakers and Tim Hughes are probably one of the biggest names in the Christian Music industry. To have the opportunity to cover the event was truly awesome.

Planetshakers started the concert with a bang! If you’ve never heard of Planetshakers, they are one of Australia’s fastest growing churches with awesome praise & worship music.

The atmosphere at the event was just mind-blowing. Hands were raised and people were jumping. Who said Christian concerts were boring?

One of my favourite shots that night.

Tim Hughes took the stage and gave us his all. Technically, he gave his all to the One most High.

Things started to quiet down with some worship songs from Tim.

There are times where the songs picks up and you can see the drummer just whacking away on the drums. I took this shot in between a person’s underarms and the stage railing to get the drummer in the frame.

The worship leader was awesome.

…and ahletic! I think he was like spidey jumping up and down.

Even the bassist joined in the fun.

Nothing beats Henry Seeley rocking on his Telecaster guitar.

Another awesome moment. I love stage lights.

Photo of the bassist rocking away.

Not forgetting the guitarist as well.

The worship atmosphere was spectacular to say the least. Everyone was worshipping with their hands raised.

I even caught this photo of a little boy, mesmerised in the presense of God.

I hope you’ve enjoyed the photos as much as I did. These are moments where I feel that my dream has come true. That living my dreams is to be where I’m most happy. Even when the work hours are long and there’s no pay involved. My heart is contented and yet my passion continues to grow. It’s a strange feeling. Sometimes, I look back at these photos and find some of my best work here. I was just a 5-month old photographer back then but yet these pictures are prove that there’s something greater at work when you give back to a greater cause.

Shooting season starts this weekend! Can’t wait to get my lazy bum off the couch and off to shoot some amazing photos! You have a good weekend! Stay blessed!
