Can you introduce yourself?
I’m a photographer based in Kuala Lumpur; most of my works include portrait shooting for commercial products, corporate executives and celebrities. I’m especially familiar with property, home interior and exterior shooting.

We hear that you’ll be having your very first photography exhibition, what sparked the idea?
Well apart from showcasing my work, I would like to take the opportunity to tell people that there are many sides to a story, and that we shouldn’t look at things in one perspective. Just like the kaleidoscope, it shows us different things – things that are way beyond our imagination.

Is there a story behind your revolutionizing photographs?
Most of my photographs are buildings featured in unique perspectives; it resembles what I’d call a Kaleidoscope-effect. It all started when I came across this kaleidoscope that I enjoyed playing as a child. I noticed that the patterns were very special, and then it hit me. I immediately thought about implementing this idea into my architecture photography. Therefore you can see in the photographs – the lines, shapes, space and beauty; they all bring with them a different impact.

Apart from photography, what is your other interest?
I would say drawing, because I feel that drawing is another platform to display my sense of art.

“Creativity arises from the way we live; I find the two inseparable.”

Gavin’s take on creative photography:
For most photographers, everything Has To Be Done Step By Step, However When It Comes To Creativity, There Isn’t Such A Restriction.
Creativity Allows You To Exercise Even Your Wildest Imagination, So Let Your Mind Run Free, and see where it takes you.
