"Swiss-born Felix Hug has gone from winning trophies as a professional basketball player to winning awards as a professional travel photographer for some of the world's best-known airlines, hotels and resorts.

Photography awards he's won many, including the Second Prize at the 2007 Travel Photographer of the Year awards (Thrill category), First Prize at the International Photography Awards (IPA) in 2005, a Gold Award & Best of Show selection at the Australian Professional Photography Awards in 2005 and the Asian Geographic Nikon Grand Prize in 2004.

Felix brings to photography the same dedication, professionalism and work ethic that carried him into the top rungs of Europe's professional basketball leagues. As a result, he and his Producer Jamie Boyd are sought after by the world's top travel brands. His list of clients include the Lonely Planet Library & Guides, Silver Sands Maldives & Singapore Airlines/Silk Air.

His work as a travel photographer is imbued by his philosophy. He says, "You have to get away from just documenting reality. The job of the photographer is to capture and trigger emotions as well. Positive images and compassion will inspire and change the way we look at things."

Now based in Singapore, Felix conducts workshops around Southeast Asia for aspiring travel photographers as well.

More details about Felix and his workshops are available on his website Eyes on Asia ( http://www.eyesonasia.net).
