Being a Husband, Father & Son, I love my Starbucks(tm) Skinny Latte, travelling, cooking and I’m absolutely passionate about Health & Wellness. That is why when we travel, chances are I’ll be the one who will head to the wet market to check out the ingredients and pick up the frying pan. So far I’ve cooked for friends in Langkawi, Lake Como, Singapore, Sydney & Melbourne. It is my dream to further expand that list.

By the way, what special ingredients does your wet market have?

going for the shot in Freemantle, Perth

Though I have garnered quite a few accolades from the media and press like “The most sought after wedding Photographer in Malaysia” by New Straits Times, Celebrity Photographer by Harper’s Bazaar and “100 People You Must know in Asia” by the Malaysia Tatler, I think my biggest achievement is getting my beautiful wife- Shirlyn to marry me. I still wonder how I pulled that one off, but of course only by God’s Grace.

In my spare time, I am a speaker because I like to tell stories. That’s why I look forward to telling Your story.

In short, I’d like to describe myself as a professional wedding guest to ultra-stylish people, whose sense of timing and artistry in photography is appreciated.

About Kid Chan by Jade Yoong

“Why pay so much for something that goes into waste overnight, and skimp on something that could preserve that big day for a lifetime?” – Kid in an interview by The Edge in 2006

“The best thing about the business is making friends. It’s not about money but about friendship; that’s what we treasure most,” the most-sought-after photographer in Malaysia says.

And it was responding to a VVIP’s request to photograph his daughter’s wedding that led Kid to his success. One thing led to another, and recently he photographed the wedding of the country’s award-winning songstress Datuk Siti Nurhaliza and Datuk Khalid Jiwa, which Kid described as “simply magical”.

Obsessed with Digital Black & White photography, Kidchan described his style in wedding photography as Fine Art Wedding Photography. He is also often supported by his dedicated Cinematic Wedding Videography team.

Recognized as an expert in Asian and inter-ethnic unions, he has clients from ALL continents, including countries like Brunei, Belgium, Canada, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, Indonesia, France, Singapore, Sweden, UK, USA and Vietnam.

He has also crafted portraits for Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop, Malaysian Finance Minister II; Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz, Governor of Bank Negara Malaysia (Malaysian Central Bank); Cherie Blair, wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair; Jackie Chan, Hong Kong celebrity known for his blockbuster ‘kung fu’ movies; and Pointer Sisters, American Grammy Award-winning R&B group.

And among his corporate clients are Pricewaterhousecoopers, Bank Negara Malaysia (Malaysian Central Bank), Montblanc, NTV7 and the Office of the Chief Justice. Under his leadership, TEam KIDCHAN also have extensive commercial photography assignments.

With almost a decade of experience, he is now regular guest on television talk shows and speaker at photography seminars, like Imaging Expo Singapore held by the organiser of the world’s top imaging show Koelnmesse, Photo Imaging Exchange.

Despite a hectic schedule, he finds time to relax by reading and blogging at www.kidchan.com/blog. But most often, he prefers to appreciate a good glass of wine with his friends.

“Wine should be enjoyed in a group. The company is just as important as the wine.”

He is married to Shirlyn Lim with two lovely daughters and their worships at the St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, International Church of Kuala Lumpur.
