I am humbled to be invited to a talk again in Swinburne University of Technology for the students about Photography. Swinburne University of Technology being one of the Top Australian Universities, pride itself for quality education! In my talk, I shared about my experience, my career and how I got started in Photography. I conducted several talk at Swinburne University before and the turnout for yesterday was by far the biggest. Well done to all the committees of Photomedia and Design Club for putting all these together! You all have worked very hard to make this event run so smoothly.
In my talk, I mentioned about the 1st Photography School in Malaysia, Alvin Leong Academy of Photography in collaboration with Open University Malaysia, School of Lifelong Learning (OUM-SOLL). I discussed about lifelong learning, and shared with the students that one of the advantages in taking our OUM-SOLL, Diploma in Photography programme, one will be given the opportunity to work as an intern for a couple of months at our Alvin Leong Photography in Kuching or The Professional Gallery in Kuala Lumpur.
Beside all this, its an honour to be given the opportunity to be the speaker to introduce the Canon EOS system, which was authorised by Canon Malaysia to all the students. I shared on a few models, namely, the EOS 1000D, EOS 450D, the new EOS 500D, EOS 50D and the new EOS 5D Mark 2. I spoke about the difference between the DIGIC 3 processor and the DIGIC 4 which can be found in the new EOS 5D Mark 2. I also discussed briefly on the new Anti-static dust removal technologies, the IS and the L lenses. Beside the EOS talk, students were also given the chance to try on some of the new lenses and the EOS DSLR cameras. It was definitely a beneficial experience for all the students to try out on all these equipments that were brought in by Canon. I noticed a few lecturers also came in to try out the cameras as well.. 
To add more spice into the event, the appearance of 6 awesome models from Breeze Magazine. The were Benjamin, Firdaus, Royce, Effa, Jacqueline and Aprilia.. Students had the chance to photograph the professional models, and one of the students jokingly told me that he has never seen so many DSLR before! haha…
I will post more photos soon!
