HODINKEE Lands In Japan & Ming Thein Of Ming Watches

Praneeth Rajsingh

Just two years ago, Ming Watches hit the scene and were an overnight sensation. That first limited collection, dubbed 17.01, sold out in no time, which wasn't that much of a surprise because the watches were good — like really good. And they were aggressively priced, too, at just $900 a pop. Then a few months later, Ming put out their sophomore release, this time a high-end piece with a crazy 100-hour movement by Schwarz-Etienne. The new watch, nearly 7 times the price of its predecessor, followed some of the foundational design cues of Ming's first watch, but the execution was pure luxury. It was an exciting release, but also one that inspired controversy with its ambitious price tag. Ming's continued that trajectory, releasing both luxurious watches and democratically-priced ones — all the while maintaining a unique aesthetic and adherence to quality that's found numerous fans. On this week's episode of The Worn &amp; Wound Podcast, Zach and Ilya are joined by Ming Thein and Praneeth Rajsingh of Ming Watches. The two stopped by Worn &amp; Wound HQ a few weeks back, and we were excited to grab the mics and talk about their brand and watches. This week's episode of The Worn &amp; Wound Podcast is brought to you by the Windup Watch Shop.

Ep. 104: Ming Thein and Praneeth Rajsingh of Ming Watches

Ming Thein of  MingThein.com from Malaysia is a photographer first, a philosopher / writer second, a commercial photographer third, a teacher fourth and a blogger a distant fifth. In saying that, he has one of the most popular photography blogs on the web. If that's his distant fifth, you can imagine how good a photographer this guy is!After receiving a master’s degree in physics at 16 and a successful career in business, Ming Thein became a full-time photographer in 2011. He's has since been named one of the worlds best street and commercial photographers today and appears to be working more hours and harder than any photographer I know yet he says it doesn't feel like work.Here’s some of what we cover: Why pursue photography despite Ming's successful career in Physics and the business world How Ming made the transition to his career in commercial photography Why full time with photography instead of his original intention to keep it a hobby The type of clients you are likely to attract as a commercial photography The risks when given the creative freedom to produce work for your clients The toughest part of transitioning to full time photographer What do you really have to do to get that good at photography Quality is always more important the quantity The importance of pre-visualizeing and having a shot list before going to shoot What did photography success looks like when transitioning into this new career Is money a driving factor for Ming and his photography business Dealing with Asian family pressures when shifting careers Why Ming blogs so prolifically and who he is writing for A photographer's work becomes easier the more educated potential buyers are Consisteny matters Why Ming doesn't monetize his website It's beneficial to both parties to teach someone who wants to learn Why integrity is always questioned when monetising your business What to shoot when shooting for fun Why you need to make time for personal projects Why you need to do a proper post-mortem of images for experimental reasons Why it's very difficult to be obective about your own work Should you put out your work out there to gather critiques from other photographers The number of personal projects Ming is currently working on and how he manages them Giving birth to new personal projects Why Ming prefers Photoshop over Lightroom Ming's workflow Having your own recognisable style is important in an industry that is highly competitive How to find your own style Is the shallow depth of field one of the most overused techniques by amateur photographers Ming's pricing strategy and how he selects the right client Dealing with copyright and usage rights Professionalism has a certain degree of committment Why you should never undermine yourself when considering pricing Adding extra value to your product offerings Why Instagram and filters are not for professional photographers Why photographers should not be shooting in JPEG format today The benefits of using a Hasselblad The pressure to deliver What is your big takeaway?Following this interview, I’d love to know what your biggest takeaway is – what is the one thing that you’d like to implement or learnt from what was shared? Let me know by leaving your thoughts in the comments below.I'm trying to give the best value to my clients – Ming TheinIf you have any questions that I missed, a specific question you’d like to ask Ming or if you just want to say thanks for coming on the show, feel free to add them below.I'm a very binary person. Either I do it or I don't, and if I do it, I do it at 110% – Ming TheinIt really is not about how good you are. You can be good enough. As long as you're good enough and you can sell, you'll do very well. But if you're really really good and you can't sell, then you're screwed – Ming TheinI would personally rather have fewer but better images – Ming TheinI try and see the world in colors and shapes. If there's interesting geometries, colors, shapes and textures, I'll just shoot it anyway.
