URBAN PHOTOGRAPHY IS MY CHOICE

 PORTRAIT OF A CITY: Kuala Lumpur 



There are many genres in photography as there are many cars on the roads.  Everyone has his own favourite genre-just like so many cakes from Kelantan. All are sweet but my top choice is kueh beko. Similarly in photography, my top choice is URBAN PHOTOGRAPHY.  It is my prefered genre but I also enjoy street, landscape and portrait photography .



KL has a great influence in my life. I studied at TIKL from 1969 to 1972. During the course of my working life, I lived in KL from 1983 to 2009. The years totaled to almost three decades of city life. And that made me enjoy city life-being urban and urbane at the same time.



I love photographing cities — scenes like this one always catch my eye. Urban photography allows me to capture more than just buildings or people; it lets me frame the personality of a city. Each image becomes a kind of portrait, much like how a portrait of a person reflects their identity, emotion, and story.



To me, the city is alive. Its streets, cafés, trees, and casual interactions all form a visual language that reveals the soul of a place. Every corner has character, every shadow a mood, every structure a sense of purpose.




Urban photography is also my way of documenting the place where I live, work, and wander. It’s a personal archive — a visual journal that grows over time. With each photo, I’m preserving fleeting moments of urban life that might otherwise go unnoticed.

COMPARISON BETWEEN MY IPHONE 14 ProMax VS FUJIFILM XT20

No camera is suitable for every occasion. Here is a simple comparison. Both have their own strengths and weaknesses, and I love both. When I go photowalking with friends, I use more smartphones than the Fujifilm XT20. FUJIFILM XT20 iPhone 14 Pro Max (Smartphone) vs Fujifilm X-T20 (Mirrorless) – Image Quality Breakdown IPHONE 14 PRO MAX 1. Sensor & Processing iPhone 14 Pro Max Uses a 48 MP quad-pixel sensor that down-samples to 12 MP by default; ProRAW unlocks full 48 MP output   . Features Apple’s “Photonic Engine” that enhances detail, color, and low-light performance via computational photography  . Produces excellent detail, color accuracy, and dynamic range—especially in daylight; however, images sometimes show over-sharpening on foliage/glossy textures  . DXOMARK cites strengths like vivid color, wide dynamic range, sharp detail, and low noise; potential drawbacks include clipping highlights and noise indoors  . Fujifilm X-T20 Features a...

Let the photo speak first?

  Should photographers explain their photos, or let the images speak for themselves? A strong photograph can stand on its own. It invites people to look, pause, and interpret the moment in their own way. But sometimes a few words from the photographer reveal the quiet story behind the frame — what was seen, felt, or noticed in that fleeting moment. Perhaps the balance is this: Let the photo speak first. Let the words gently reflect afterwards. 📷
