Darren Tan's International Contest Winning Photos

International Award Winning Wedding Photographer

Accolade of Excellence WPPI 2012 16x20 Print Competition - (Wedding Photojournalism Category) I was about to frame only the little girl in the picture..however, a quick glance change my mind as expressions from the rest of the bridesmaid complemented the whole picture better.

2nd Place WPPI 2011 Second Half Contest - (Landscape / Nature Category) Woke up early in the morning and drove in total darkness up a windy road to the peak of Cameron Highland for one reason, to capture the sunrise. I took 9 shots to create this photo. The serene and peaceful view is simply breath taking.

20th Place WPJA 2010 Q3 Contest - (Bride Getting Ready Category) I was beside the bride with 50mm f1.4 attached with my camera. The make-up artist decided to align her veil. Without wasting much time, I took a few steps back and took the shot . The bride's hand covering her lips to prevent staining her veil complemented the shot.

18th Place WPJA 2010 Quater 1 Contest - (Toasting/Speeches Category)Perfect couple, one left handed and the other right handed holding the glass. At first, I wanted to focus on the couples expression, but the mic they are holding is a bit distracting. The details of the glass caught my attention, so I decide to focus at the glass, wide open aperture.

17th Place WPJA 2009 Quater 3 Contest - (Reception Category) By just focusing on the two guys, the photo would be too plain. To include the spectators leg in the photo, I have to take the photos at high point and I have to do it fast. Don't have enough time to find a chair, using my widest lens I have, at 14mm, lifted my camera high above my head and took the shot.
