Hi there! I’m Hendra Lauw, a Singapore photographer. Join me as I explore the world, near and far, through my lens.
I started photography in 2000. I love exploring new places and getting lost in the experience. My curiosity about different cultures, places, and people inspires and drives me.
The birth of my daughter inspired my passion for photographing children and families. In 2009, I founded Masakecil Photography—a dream come true, turning my love for family photography into a business. Eventually, after two decades as a programmer and IT project manager, I took a leap of faith in 2017, leaving the corporate world to pursue photography full-time. In July 2020, I rebranded Masakecil Photography to The Photograph, marking a new chapter in my journey.
Over the years, I’ve been lucky to receive some awards: the Singapore Best Photography Blog Award in 2010, Best South East Asia Photoblog in 2007, and a finalist for Best Portrait Photography Photoblog in 2007. But nothing beats being out there, taking photos, especially in new places and meeting new family clients. While I have a soft spot for people, nature, and travel photography, I simply enjoy photographing anything.
Running a photography blog has been a longtime dream of mine. Over the years, life took its course, and somewhere along the way, the blog slowed down and eventually paused. Yet, my passion for sharing this journey has never faded. Now, I’m more determined than ever to dive back in and rekindle my love for photo-blogging.
Thank you for stopping by!
