Photography
Photography was my first step before I developed an interest in videography and film.
Over time, images have become a way to express my thoughts visually. Something I couldn’t always put into words.
I often like to photograph people from behind. Without showing their faces, there's room for the viewer to wonder: are they happy, lonely, or simply lost in thought? The story is left open. That’s why many of my photos are taken this way.
These are just a few quiet moments I’ve tried to capture. I hope you enjoy them.

This was a casual photo of my high school friend. Sometimes I wonder how they’re doing now. I hope they’re doing well and have found their light.
This photo was selected for KLPF 2022 – Light is Charming, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity.

Long-lasting companion

This photo was taken on a street in Melaka. I saw an aunt quietly walking at the same pace as her husband, waiting for him. It felt like a small, quiet moment of care.
