I have no words to describe. Solo exhibition is my dream for a long time since I know photography. When everything seems in place, my great commitment goes to my mother health condition. Each day, she seems like going down the hill. We just cannot stop praying. Allah know best, that we as His servant has no idea what is coming. At the same time this weekend, a concurrent display of my work with other amazing women photographers again in conjunction with an International Women’s Day. How can I not be thankful? For the life lessons I am picking every single day. For the appreciation of my work to be shared with the public so I can get the message I have in me via my work to spread around. Check out the|refinery on their Facebook here.

Yesterday, I sat with a French journalist for an interview to be featured in a French online newspaper, Le Petit Journal Kuala Lumpur telling stories about my work for the solo exhibition this Friday. We both sit at the coffee shop, sharing each other stories as a daughter & son of a breast cancer patients. I was so moved & it warmed my heart. I will need a translator to read me the content once they are out as I don’t understand French!

Did you read the Sunday article in the Sunday Times? My beautiful makeup artist was on the cover of Life & Times! Read the article by Aneeta Sundararaj here!

Without a single word yet I come out for my speech, I will see you all this Friday!

Observed & now with remarks & sometimes asked to stop, me to looking at women and I must shamelessly to admit, how my mind instantly imagine how beautiful they will look like in front of my lens with hair & makeup done by my makeup artist and get into their favorite dress and open up their soul to me.

For the love to what I am doing, how can you not be grateful for being able to see for yourself the beauty created on the universe by Almighty. The images in this post is Maya. Weeks before she left for Denmark to celebrate Christmas with the loved ones in the motherland.

  This post marked my first post of the year 2013. It has been a wonderful year of 2012 that was a minute ago, for me and with the power of gratitude to posses around my life.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013! For our year ahead will full with gratitude, happiness & love.

I never had a chance to listen to Rhonda’s experience after the shooting we had. When I get the chance to photograph her, I gets excited & love every bits of the look she pull through with every outfit she put on. I think she have got all the look I was looking for from a dignify African women, though she herself is an African-American. However, the minute she teared up & shared with me about her body issue, I suddenly realised how a portrait enable to change the feeling of a person towards her own self. Until you realised how powerful it is, you just got to believe it. Meeting Rhonda was a turning point to me. I found that it brought me to a totally different perspective towards my photography and mostly on me as a person. My mantra towards life changed almost me not realising it. It is a magical feeling & like a new person in me coming out. The connections that I was looking for, the incomplete that was in the images before. The human connections.

Yin helped me to conduct an interview session with Rhonda while I had another interview session with Danielle outside the studio.

 

 

Huge thank you to Yin, Rashidi of Edirina & Rien Shamsul for making this no budget video to happen.

 

For loving yourself more & appreciate what you are today.
