About Me

Hi there! I’m Hendra Lauw, a Singapore-based 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.

When my daughter was born, my passion for photographing children and families grew stronger. In 2009, I started Masakecil Photography; my dream job, a family photography business. After spending two decades as a programmer and IT project manager, I finally left my corporate job in 2017 to focus on photography full-time. In July 2020, Masakecil Photography was rebranded and became The Photograph.

I’ve been lucky to receive some awards over the years: 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. 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!
