Like many other Malaysians, I grew up not knowing much about the arts. In 2008 , right after college I went on a trip to Tanzania and that was when I discovered my true passion: Photography. I was intrigued by the cultural differences and I was determine to preserve it through my lens. Since then, I try to travel when I get the chance to. I'm now a final year photography student. My main focus is travel photography. I try to capture the essence of a place from its people and environment.

When someone mentions Saudi Arabia, the first thing that comes to mind would be Hajj, Pilgrimage. If I'm given the opportunity to go on this expedition, I'd love to experience another side of the country. The cultures, religious practices, education and more. As I also come from a Muslim country, it would be great to show in pictures how two Islamic nations can be the same and different at the same time.
