My Larger Than Life Prints At The Brunei Energy Expo 2011

Follow @janshim

The weeks leading up to the Brunei Energy Expo 2011 had been nothing short of breathless as I juggled other tasks and responsibilities while keeping up with momentum of editing and delivering super high-res images my client required for the event. After countless text messages, phone conversations, IM chats and delivery of revised images in large TIFF formats, here are the results of my client and their designer piecing the art together for His Majesty the Sultan of Brunei and visitors to appreciate. It’s not very often I get to have my work printed and exhibited this way so please bear with my higher-than-usual appearances. Less even was the  opportunity to photograph the night lights of Brunei’s ministerial buildings from the rooftop of Brunei’s tallest building (Borneo’s third tallest) — the Ministry of Finance building.

The view from the rooftop of Brunei's tallest, Borneo's third tallest building — The Ministry of Finance — quite the exhilarating experience I could say no to.

In between two large canvas prints, left the SCADA operations room while right the ministerial montage.

Quite possibly first of a kind attempt to montage the ministerial buildings night lights for this showcase. Well done, team Berakas Power!

A diesel powered turbine at the Jerudong plant is revealed during a routine maintenance. This 620 pixel photo does little justice to the details one can see in the large print.

A fisheye shot of Berakas Power's Jerudong station from the top of a hiab truck lift basket.

A series of "staff at work" photographs shot are various locations include the inside of a service van.

@janshim Awesome. Congrats!—

That's me at the bottom right taking a photograph of His Majesty (photo courtesy of Gavin).

One of His Majesty's first stops — Brunei LNG Sdn Bhd, Brunei's gas producer and exporter.

"Leaving the expo, at least 100 students crowded the doorways to seize a chance to greet His Majesty." BT

Waiting at the exit of the Bridex Hall by His Majesty's car are towels bearing the signature initials "HB"

A light hearted moment as His Majesty chats with a student before leaving the venue on this rainy day.

Cheers of excitement from students awaiting to meet and greet our Sultan as His Majesty leaves the Brunei Energy… fb.me/1jRLZRb5d—
