About

I come from a background of family who did not appreciate photography. I started taking photographs with a compact camera since I was a child but all I remember it was for fun. I took a lot of photographs but they were faces of me and my friends in school. Then, Internet came. I was intrigued by the pictures the Internet people uploaded, that time, it was Deviantart. I started to utilise my compact camera and phone camera more than I ever did. It was an amazing experience to be able to interact with people and exchanged thoughts and of course, getting knowledge about photography. In early 2009, I signed up for Flickr by accident but didn't use it appropriately until I discovered the amazing community there. A few months after that, I got my first DSLR, it was a Canon EOS1000D that came with the kit-lens. Since then, my perspective of the world changed. I met a lot of talented photographers around the globe. My first inspirations were those who weren't 'professional' photographers, but mostly, humble and friendly people who loved photography. Thanks, to you, if you're reading this. My mind has broadened and I grew up differently than most of my classmates in high school that time, whom thought I had lost interest in studying because I spent a lot of time with my camera and internet. Of course, my parents were worried too, but I managed to prove them wrong. I succeeded to get good results for my final exam in school. I am now studying English as a Second Language for my degree and I still have 2 more years but I believe I would never, ever stop learning, of everything. I GRADUATED! :)

Also, what I decide to show here are only 10% of my life.

My current inspirations and favourite photographers are Paige Baralija, Nirrimi Firebrace, Taya Iv, Tasha Saifol, Bak, Umar Mita, Sean Norman and Mikko Lagerstedt. 

I am 23 years old, living in Selangor, Malaysia.

Gears: Canon EOS 60D with 50mm 1.4 lens attached most of the time.
