S'pore photographer returns after Hollywood success

 You may not know Singaporean Kevin Ou, but he is no stranger to Hollywood.

Among those who know him include celebrities Elijah Wood, Daddy Yankee, Chris Brown, Christina Milian and 50 Cent.

The 32-year-old Mr Ou is a Singaporean photographer who has made it big chasing his photography dream.

"When I was in Ngee Ann (Polytechnic), I was the only in my group of friends who didn't get into the photography class," Mr Ou said. 

"So I bought photo books, cameras and started to learn (on my own), putting a lot of energy into it. 

"Even though I was already shooting in Singapore, I felt like, my goal was a lot bigger. 

"So I just decided to pack up (and leave for Hollywood), which was really scary, because I didn't know anyone there. I was 20 at that time, and I just jumped into it."

But Mr Ou did not let that take the joy out of his work. 

He recalled photographing T-Pain, a Grammy-nominated rapper.

"We actually flew to Atlanta to shoot his place. He had a really big beautiful home. 

"During the photo-shoot, he hired 12 chefs and they cooked us the most amazing Southern meal. 

"And he had all his family members at the shoot, so I was hanging out with his mum, his brother, his kids. 

"Sometimes I just look back, and I wonder if that was all a dream? How did this all happen? I'm a simple kid from Singapore, and all of a sudden, I'm here."
