We asked Shahmir some questions while selecting some of the best photos we find are hard to miss:
SAYS: How did you find out and get involved in Instagram?

**Shahmir**: Hmmm, I discovered Instagram about 2 years ago. At first, I wasn't really active and I didn't take a lot of pictures – but I gradually got into Instagram thanks to many of my friends. Yes, Instagram has widened my eyes to many aspects of photography especially being a member of its community. You get to learn and be inspired by other talented photographers.
Your stream of photos captures urban/cityscape really well. Do you take lots of trips outside where you live? Could you also share with us how you decide where to shoot next?

Actually I don't really go out from where I stay! I normally do a lot of exploring around the city because there are so many different stuff to see, you just have to look. But yeah, scouting for new places can be pretty challenging especially when it's the rainy season.
Do you use a camera or a phone to capture your images?

Phone for sure! Because I don't own a camera. Most of my shots are taken with my trusty iPhone 5.
