Ahmad Fahad Nasir

For the month of February. KK Photo 88 will be features Fahad Nasir, or well known as Fahad in his flickr. Currently in Perth, Australia studying at Curtin University majoring in Photography Design.

He starts his proper photography when he purchase his first DSLR during his first year university. In 2nd year where he decide to major Photography Design instead of Graphic Design or Multimedia.


Fahad is very well known in Flickr Community because of his landscape photography. Golden Hours is his best friends to shoot Natural Landscape, He believes Kota Kinabalu's Sunset is one of the most beautiful sunset in the world.


Although He say he still looking for his own style. I think he already left his own trademark for shooting natural landscape and also his expertise in digital imaging.

Saiful Rizan

Saifulrizan started his venture in photography since 2007. What started as a hobby to kill pastime finally turned him into among other photographers that working hard to promote Labuan through their pictures. Currently playing an active role in building a photographer community in Labuan, he's determined to bring out the best of all the members in the group.

Saifulrizan work mainly involving landscape and local event. He's been to almost every corner of the island taking pictures of places with his own style. For his landscape work, he admired the work from Syed Nasir, Zain Abdullah, Professor Li Yuan, Hiroshi Sugimoto and Christoper Domitter.

Labuan as seen by Saifulrizan is not just a plain island. He is glad that he found photography where he can express and show the world that Labuan has more to see than meet the eyes. He started taking pictures of events as he believes photography is another way to preserve the culture and development of Labuan.

As for today, he's still learning from every photographer he knows. He believes the process of learning never stops and hoping that someday he will contribute something to Labuan that he can proud of.

2009

KK Photo 88 wants to wish you all a Happy New Year 2009.

Be yourself, think creative and shoot elegantly.

Yeen Uzair, Sabahan Art Student with Surreal Mind.

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.
