Dream

For this month features, Sabahan lad currently studying Art and living in the UK. Yeen Uzair, After studying a for quite a while in Europe. Her perspective towards world of Art has change her view about photography.

Let her do the talk about her world of art and Photography :

Photography is a budding interest in me. My skills and knowledge on pure photography are limited so i use what i know with what i have to create something decent for all to see.

Dream

Something that i take pleasure in doing. Recently, I started a self initiated project where i took a picture a day to improve my skills in photography, throughout the undertaking, i noticed a certain change in my style, I began to manipulate my pictures more and more and it has become somewhat surreal and i love doing it!

Art Nouveau-ish - her favourite art movement

This leads me to where I am now. I enjoy making bizarre things with my photographs as much as i love taking pictures of my subjects. Being a graphic design student, this is just the perfect combination for me.

Singing in the rain

I often look at other artists' photographs, illustrations, sketches etc for inspiration, at the same time allows me to open up to new things and be experimental with my photography. I'd say, I make art rather than photographs.

Self Portrait

Photography and photo-manipulation has become a part of me. It is like painting on canvas where anything is possible.

Charles William Gedius

First features for KK Photographer 88 are very well known old-school photographer / skateboard in the early 90's from Labuan who often skate and take photos in Red Square.
Charles William Gedius or well knows as Ah Chai.

Although Ah Chai photos are purposely taken like a candid shot but because of his passion towards photography. Most of his photos can tell a story, with his working experience as a publisher. His photo editting in digital era has given him to maintain the classy look most of his photos.

He has 3 philosophy about photography that is :
One thing:
I realize that earth is actually "flat". But seeing it in viewfinder, it is the other way around.

Two things:
I see potential "object" everywhere... need to feel it and be one with the subject.

Three things:
Photos should be the subject of discussion and not to be admired or praised. In fact there is no so called "Perfect" photos in the whole wide world.
