Hi, I would like to invite all Malaysians to take part in a self funded photography project entitled “My@Manchester 2009″ (Malaysian at Manchester 2009). This is a collection of portraits of Malaysian in Manchester appearing in their homes, in the city, or doing something relevant to their interests, or anything that we can imagine. I hope that I could get as many participants as possible and challenge me for interesting portfolio. In return, the participants will be given access to the web gallery for all the images in the session.

Here is some info about this project :

The photography session will be provided free of charge.

Participants will be given access to web gallery images.You can use the photos for facebook, blog, avatar, etc

Photography session can be arranged to suit individual time

The duration of each photography session will be kept minimum.(15 – 60 minutes)

You can bring along friends along if you prefer group pic.

Also, I may use the images to create a self publish book. This book will be remembered as a memory for the participants and appreciation of this project. The self publish book will sold at reasonable price.

If you would like to participate in the project please contact me at

Britain’s largest sculpture is the ‘Angel of the North’ in Gateshead UK. I am amazed by the massive size of this angel made from tonnes of weathering steel. The sculptor brings his imagination of an Angel that we have never seen.

Great news for my friends in UK. U can try to submit your picture to Star Online contest by 23rd June to win a free holiday from MAS airlines . Current theme is What’s New UK. I’m sure you got a thousands of travel images and don’t let them do nothing in your Terabytes harddisk. I think P&S camera can make it because the  max size is 1.5MB under 72dpi.

My picture is taken under bad lighting that fall under the ‘where Photoshop can’t fix them’. However, I try to convey the perspective of this giant Angel with us human. Good luck!

Additional notes : I think something is wrong about this photo. The pic is tilted! Ish!!

I intended to shoot a couple of portraits with Shikin for my upcoming project later but ended up with a lot of photos of 4 very sporting and cool models. They are all students in Manchester and obviously they are very good in front of the camera.  We had fun shooting at this odd location in Whitworth Park. I surveyed the area beforehand and thought this might work for the photo shoot. I thought shooting in the park may not necessarily have to include the green grass and trees. The place is right behind Whitworth Gallery and is under the shade of a big tree. Sometimes the sun ray poke through the leaves and  hit the subject faces, which made the exposure a little bit trickier.  I just waited for the  sunlight to move away and then go on with the portraitures.

Shikin. Somehow, I found out that this pose works for most of my female subjects.

Syed Hadi. I told him to think of images from a cover album. We got it right!

Mira, a natural in front of the camera. I turned her image to B & W just to give a different taste.

And group photo.

I’ve created a new page to display the location of Malaysian portraits in Manchester 2009 here.

Saya ingat nak post gambar dia minggu lepas. Tapi memandangkan dia asyik muntah setiap hari akibat virus.bakteria dalam perut dia, saya tak jadi. Alhamdulillah dia dah tak muntah lagi lepas dia makan. Doktor bilang – gaestroenteritis, dan tiada ubat perlu diberi cuma biarkan ia reda sendiri. Kitorang yang sudah biasa dapat ubat lepas jumpa doktor agak janggal dengan kaedah di sini. Semoga sistem imun dia bertambah kuat lepas ni.
