Bio

I am an amateur photographer based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with a deep passion for wildlife, nature, and travel photography. My journey began close to home—capturing animals and birds in zoos and bird parks, and experimenting with macro shots of insects. These early experiences sparked my fascination with the natural world and taught me to appreciate the beauty of details, light, and patience behind every shot. As my passion grew, I felt compelled to go beyond enclosures and explore the wild itself. This led me on photographic journeys across Africa and Nepal, where I began capturing animals in their natural habitats—raw, untamed, and free. Each safari deepened my respect for wildlife and the fragile ecosystems they inhabit. I am a devoted Canon user, continuously upgrading my gear to pursue better precision and image quality. Occasionally, I switch to my Leica during my travels, especially for street photography, where I find beauty in human stories and fleeting moments.
