About Artist

Sek Huat Peh

Sek Huat Peh is a large format film photographer with a passion for crafting images that blend precision, patience, and poetic light. Specializing in infrared and panoramic photography, he captures unseen wavelengths and expansive compositions using his trusted Chamonix 45F2 and custom 6x12 Horseman film back. Whether it’s the surreal glow of IR landscapes or the quiet geometry of urban scenes, Sek Huat’s work reflects a deep commitment to analogue craft, darkroom discipline, and experimental vision. Driven by curiosity, he often conducts hands-on tests to understand the nuances of focus, exposure, and film behavior—transforming photography into both an art and a science. His work invites viewers to slow down and see beyond the visible.
