During the event itself, I wanted to approach things from perspectives that most people would never get to see — angles hidden from the audience seated in front of the stage or those watching through a screen. I found myself hiding behind the stage and slowly stepping out from time to time to capture shots from the back and sides, waiting patiently for moments of laughter, reactions, and even the calm before the discussions began.

Once again, I found myself lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce. Finger lightly resting on the shutter button, eyes scanning the room, focusing on scenes, anticipating reactions and moments before they happen and then… SNAP! A funny conversation breaks out.

I was honoured to be part of Joel Found’s close-knit event held at the luxurious Capella Singapore, where I got to witness both the beauty of the hotel and the community that came together for the occasion. My role was to provide Joel with marketing assets for his social media and website: photos, alongside a short highlight video.

These involvements have made me proud of what Microsoft has become today. Reading about Bill Gates' story, from how he started to where Microsoft is now, and having the opportunity to meet industry leaders, CEOs, presidents, directors and heads of departments feels so "powerful." It makes me, once again, feel proud of what Microsoft has become.

In events like these, the most important thing I remind myself is: how can I document today in a way that speaks for itself? How can I produce content that shows potential clients, friends, and partners what Speedcast does outside of their “routine” work schedule — the extra effort and service they provide to everyone? It has to have human connection.
