THE ART OF MEZAME ACADEMY

The Art of Mezame Academy first started as a Facebook group on 31 March 2017 as The Art of Mezame Photography Workshops. Its primary function is to provide more information on photography seminars, workshops and classes run which I run.

Today, it is an education arm under The Art of Mezame whose vision is to teach aspects of photography including lighting and retouching using software such as Capture One to the masses.

Working closely with various commercial studios, photographers and organisations such as National Library Board (Singapore), The Art of Mezame Academy is now known for its engaging talks on photography and workshops with relevant hands-on experiences as well as well-equipped private tutorials that see plenty of learning for participants of all ages.

I have also given photography talks in schools, encouraging young students to take up a promising career in photography, as well as at cosplay conventions such as HobbyCon, sharing tips and tricks on how to make cosplay photography more epic.

I have also given talks at events by photography communities on digital composites and photography such as the Photographers Cinematographers Malay Singapore (PCMS).

During my time in Phase One, I have also given talks, and run seminars alongside our partners in Singapore (Broncolor Singapore), Thailand (Foto Systems Limited & Krung Siam Enterprise Co. Ltd.), Indonesia (Primaimaging) and Malaysia (Broncolor Malaysia Sdn. Bhd.), introducing and teaching Capture One to photographers both amateurs and professionals alike.

Apart from running talks and seminars as well as workshops, I also write blog posts that talk about gear and provide tips and tricks on photography which I share actively in the Facebook group, sometimes writing for websites such as DIYPhotography: How I Shot a Life-sized DeLorean for Back to the Future Day and How I Brought Fate Zero Saber to Life with a Spray Bottle.
