About SWAM

Shutterbugs with an Attitude – Malaysia (SWAM)

The idea behind Flickr has always been the sharing and building of a community of photographers. Having benefitted from this community, I had been hoping someone would start the ball rolling in getting aspiring photographers a platform to showcase their work.

I finally decided I’ll just have to be that someone. Welcome to Shutterbugs with an Attitude – Malaysia’s (SWAM) inaugural Photography exhibition competition in collaboration with KLPAC which will be held at KLPAC.

We are now inviting all photographers based in Malaysia (Malaysian and foreign nationals) to join and submit photographs to this group. At the end of the competition, all submissions will be judged and 30 photographs in 2 categories will be selected to be exhibited.

Photographs must comply with the rules and regulations of the group and theme. Those who don’t will be disqualified.

Please note that this exhibition is self sponsored hence all selected exhibitors must bear the cost of the printing of their photo and promotional material. The amount will be set by the group and all printing will be done by the group as a collective headed by me.

Participants are required to agree to adhere to all rules and regulations of this group to submit images into the group pool.

The theme

Beautiful Imperfections

Our society has a set of perceived ideas for beauty, one size, one look, one age – anything out of the box and they are frowned upon.

Your challenge for this theme is to see imperfections as beauty and change the mindset on the perceived ideas of beauty.

The idea is to show that everyone can be beautiful and it is the photographers duty to show them on their best side. Show how ordinary people are beautiful too. Let their inner beauty shine in your photographs.

So we’re looking for submission of photos of plump, old, super thin, non model/ model like, non muscular, wrinkles, disability and any kind of physical imperfections set by society.

People who take part in this exhibition must believe in the theme as you will be required to sell the idea to visitors at the exhibition.

Don’t do this if you just want to exhibit.
