C'LAVIE's photostream

I am male photographer from Penang, Malaysia. Currently I am still working in a multinational company, also a nest for corporate rats.

Since young, I have developed a passion for art. During my early secondary school years, art class had always been my favourite. But with a cruel twist of fate, I had involuntarilly ended up in a techical path, still much to my dismay up to this day. Slowly, I had lost touch with the artistic side of me when works started to heap up due to maddening support task and on-call standby during my previous job.

I felt reborn when I started to indulge in photography. For me, photography is an art of expression to satisfy the creative side that had been long denied. Living in Georgetown, Penang, I was born surrounded by many historical site and colonial buildings during the the golden era of British. Eversince then, I had developed a sentimental feelings for old building and objects

My style of photography was much influence towards the reminiscent of the past history. Notably, in my work, I prefer monotone and washout colour to re-create the feeling of the old world charm. A monotone pictures sometimes speaks better for itself to evoke the melancoly and exudes charm.

I live by the motto of C'est la Vie. Life is short. Play hard and have fun.
