I was born in Teluk Intan, Perak, Malaysia in 1979. I'm an IT Consultant by profession and part time Instructor in Saiful Nang Academy teaching the essence of digital photography technique.
All this while I've been doing landscape photography for quite sometime, but now I'm focusing more towards street photography. The switch from landscape to street photography is mainly because living in this city (Kuala Lumpur) it is hard to get that beautiful lights and colors that you've always expected during sunset and sunrise. Most of the time I'm left disappointed because the colors that I've expected has never appear.
The urge to move away from landscape photography to street photography started during September 2015 because of the horrible haze shrouding the city. Thinking that I've left my camera untouched for almost a month because of the haze - I challenged myself to go out and get some pictures on the street. Since then, I've fall in loved in street photography.
Street photography teaches me to appreciate my surroundings regardless of what it is. It teaches me to think creative every time, before I press the shutter. This challenges drives me to keep on doing it over and over again. Because once I've got it right - I can feel the glory and satisfaction inside of me that I just can't explain.
