I don't do much large scale event shooting anymore, admittedly I am not getting any younger, I don't have the energy of a 20 something years old that can bulldoze anything along the way without food or sleep for 24 hours straight. When this job came, Yayasan Sime Darby Arts Festival which was the largest arts festival in Malaysia up to date, happening in Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre, I just had to do it. It is not just shooting an event, it was the privilege of being a part of something larger than yourself. Being able to contribute my craft in supporting the local performing arts was something I can be truly proud of. Looking at the images captured during the festival, I have to say there is so much to celebrate when it comes to diversity, culture and artistic adventures in Malaysia. The camera is just a tool, but art is real. Being present, showing up and working my skills to get these shots gave what I did as a photographer meaning and purpose. Why else do you want to become a photographer, if not to capture such beautiful moments?
