Secretary – Nicky Evelyn

Bachelor of Accounting

I like to shoot:
I love taking portraits of human to objects like flowers and anything on the shelves.

I haven’t found any specific photographer as my role model so any photographers with nice tones and ideas would attract my eyes like Axioo, Indonesia wedding photographer and any nice photos in deviantArt.

In my spare time:
During my free-time, besides taking photos, you would find me sketching, painting, or sleeping.

Treasurer,  Workshop Manager – Egor Evdokimov

Bachelor of Accounting, 4th year

I like to shoot:
Street photography as I absolutely love taking photos of people in their “natural” environment.

People who inspire me:
Oriol Estevan because a lot of his work he shoots on film and the results are so stunning proving film is not dead and that’s what I plan on shooting as well. His portraits are full of emotions and portray people very naturally. Henri Cartier-Bresson is a great photographer: casual and yet very “dramatic” portraits of famous people. Henri Cartier-Bresson is a great photographer: casual and yet very “dramatic” portraits of famous people.

In my spare time:
I do fitness when I have spare time. Love jogging as well. Since photography is only a hobby at this stage I include it here as well.

This year I am looking forward to:
Certainly meeting new people and passing on the skills/knowledge to those just starting. Catching up with “old” friends too.

Sponsorship and Marketing Manager – Eric Kuang

Bachelor of Business (Psychology)

I like to shoot:
Candid pictures cause it’s great fun getting embarrassing photos of your friends.

People who inspire:
I don’t have a particular favourite photographer, though a person that inspires me is Tim Burton. This is because the characters and worlds he creates in films are very unique and chilling.

In my spare time:
I like to read novels particularly those in the fantasy & sci fi genre. I also play vidya gaems and watch copious amounts of anime till 6am in the morning, hence why all my classes start at 2pm.

This year I am looking forward to:
Making new friends and attending mpc events with everyone.

 

Event Manager, Graphic and Website Designer – Ruy Pedro Morais

Bachelor of Business/Information Systems

I like to shoot:
Portraiture & Street – I love to capture people at their best at their worst, the candid always speak volumes but I also love to be able to take an image or symbolism in my mind and bring it to life with an orchestrated capture. I am also very eager to experiment with landscape/urbanscape but lack the needed wide angle to really be able to explore it properly (but still try to with what I have).

People who inspire me:
I personally don’t have any specific faves but those whose works appeal to me at a personal level and capture my interest I will always save and have a copy on my computer for inspiration later.

In my spare time:
Gaming, Reading, Movies, Anime & Photography

This year I am looking forward to:
Making new friends, seeing new and old faces and giving back to MPC

 

 

General Committee – Arthur Kusumadjaja

Capturing true emotion of a person is challenging yet rewarding as well, that is why I love to do portraiture (and weddings where you can see all that emotion multiplied).

People who inspire me:
All wedding photog like Axioo, The Uppermost, Apertura, Edward Suhadi, and Erwin Wijanto.

In my spare time:
Fifa-ing with friends or have a bite of Urbanspoon’s top 50 cheap eat restaurants.

This year I am looking forward to:
Can’t wait to see all the events that we are going to run in 2012, hopefully our club would be the most active and lively throughout the year. I look forward working with you guys all!
