Spotlight on Asia (Malcolm Fackender)'s photostream  

I am a passionate photographer who started out as a teenager doing nature photography, in particular birds and macro work. I have broadened my photographic experience in the last ten years to include many other genres, including but not limited to travel photography, people photography and photojournalism to name a few.

I am a past President of Dooleys Camera Club at Lidcombe and have a significant involvement in the camera club scene in New South Wales, Australia. Spotlight on Asia commenced operation in 2006, specialising in travel photography as well as designing, arranging and leading small group photographic tours to Vietnam and Cambodia. Due to demand, I will soon be expanding to other countries, including but not limited to China, Laos and Thaliand.

I conduct educational and inspirational photographic talks at various photographic clubs in Australia and love to share the knowledge I have gained over the years. I am selfless in my passion for photography and gain more satisfaction out of inspiring people and teaching people than winning awards. This is not to say that I have not tried my hand at photographic competitions. My photography has won prizes as well as gold, silver and bronze medals, however I prefer to spend my photographic endeavours bringing knowledge and experience to others and more importantly sharing experiences with them. It was this, the sharing of photography with others, that led me to start photographic tours.

I enjoy taking photographs and extending myself wherever possible. I believe that photography is a cycle of continuous improvement from a technical, hardware and creative perspective and as such I look forward to growing for many years to come.
