I’m a freelance female documentary photographer based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

 

I shoot photos of rural and forest-dependent indigenous people for documentation, often for the Center for Orang Asli Concerns (COAC) as well as Elevyn.com, a social-enterprise based on fair trade principles.

 

I have also conducted several photography introductory workshops for Monash University Malaysia and trained indigenous youths in photography and videography.

 

Available for:

- Assignment projects

- Commissions (documentation, portraits and events)

- Community-based training

I think your current pictures are absolutely kewl! Can't wait to see what you can produce when you get your first dSLR a couple of months down the road :) Keep up the good work!
