As anyone who's shot with me already knows, Lightroom is easily the most important piece of software in my digital photography workflow.

So, as I have written before, it was a great privilege when last year I was approached by Adobe, the makers of Lightroom, with opportunities for creative partnership and collaboration.

It started with an interest from Adobe in licencing the rights to use a selection of my photography on their Photoshop.com website, and it then progressed into working with Adobe's digital marketing agency, to be profiled in the "Spotlight" section of Photoshop.com.

I am extremely proud of my association with Adobe, which is why I am so pleased to share "Believe". Alongside talented and accomplished photographers Kelly Castro and Emily Ibarra (both of whom have also been profiled on Photoshop.com here and here respectively), "Believe" is an electronic direct marketing initiative by Adobe to promote Lightroom 3 and demonstrate how photographers like Kelly, Emily and I use it in professional photography environments.

Back in January, I was commissioned by Condé Nast Traveller (India) to photograph a feature about "sexy, stylish, sophisticated Singapore" for an upcoming issue. Having never had the privilege of working with Condé Nast Traveller before, I was very excited for this opportunity. Being able to shoot this in my own backyard was a bonus.

The feature's writer, Puja Disha Bharwani, and I spoke on the phone a few times to coordinate everything and then set-out together on a seven-day adventure that took us to 27 different locations across the island.

From the tiny independent boutiques of Haji Lane to the larger-than-life Marina Bay Sands resort and casino, this assignment was an fantastic chance for Puja and me to experience many of Singapore's newest and chicest bars, restaurants and hotels, as well as meet and photograph some of the city's more interesting finance, society, hospitality and culinary personalities.

The fruits of our labour, "Singapore Grows Up", appears across 12 pages in the August/September 2011 issue of Condé Nast Traveller (India), on newsstands now.  As Puja writes in the feature, "Singapore is now becoming a sexy, sophisticated destination."  I couldn't agree more.
