Why fine art? According to Bryan, he saw an opening in the genre that is still new to the Malaysian photography scene

After a few years discovering photography on my own, I found the world of fine art photography. Fine Art photography expresses a creation in accordance with the vision of the artist as a photographer. That being said, that sort of photography is still new to the Malaysia marketplace.

What is fine art photography you may ask?

I optimize creativity and amplify concepts to create a story through the help of photography. The primary objective is to convey an idea into a visual form, which connects with the audience and capture their attention. Not forgetting, constantly inspiring the younger generation and spreading a positive message to them.

But cultivating a less exposed genre of photography in Malaysia has its set of challenges

The biggest challenge I encountered was cultivating a relatively young (in the sense that it is not well exposed) genre of photography in Malaysia and gaining the acceptance in the eye of the community. Changing the view of the public isn’t an overnight success but it takes months or even years.

Aside from fine art/abstract photography, he loves exploring the city while capturing cityscapes
