Guillotine @ Sarip's photostream  

For the last four years my interest in photography has developed from a passion into an obsession.

In my lifetime I have a personal photo collection of more than thousands of film and digital images and I prefer to use film as my medium. It has only been in the last couple of years, however, that I have begun to consider my future as a streets and urbex photographer.

The projects currently on this website give a good indication of the progression I have made in recent years, and where my work is heading.

My initial obsession with the street and urban landscape has taken my work in two separate directions. The initial one concerns aesthetic based photography, looking at form and ‘beauty’ in an urban context particularly where this relates to architecture, urban decay, and generally the non human aspects of the urban landscape.

The second approach is what I consider to be the most important to my development and recognition as a photographer. Initially my social documentary based approach was developed through street photography, I have started to concentrate on a people and their surroundings. Human behaviour sometimes differs from what we have expected.

I have started my project with the Bukit Bintang series and it still I’ve found that human are just like chameleon. They changed just in a split seconds and this never failed me to get my subject captured on the sensor.

I am blessed with the support from two other photographers at Groupf64 who shares the same passion and obsession.
Over the next few years i plan to execute several major documentary projects exploring the political and social aspects of life that fascinate me so much.
