My name is Irfan Zainal Abidin. I lived most of my life in an island city of Penang in the north of Peninsula Malaysia. I am by trade an Engineer and I enjoy photography as a hobby

This site is dedicated to display my photography works. I've always been fascinated with photography, its ability to preserve a moment in time, to capture to beauty of light, and the drive it gives oneself to pursue, anticipate and stimulate the creation of beautiful moments. However I don't aspire make a living out of photography; thus, I capture only for my self satisfaction and I display those I adore most in this gallery. What constitues as beautiful in my eyes may not in others' that's why the comments section is there.

I'm currently equipped with a Canon EOS 400D and a Tamron 17-50mm f2.8, a UV filter and a cheap tripod. I'd like to believe that none of the gears that I use matters, a keen eye being the most important tool. I shoot mostly RAW and do my own post-processing but only minimal adjustments. I try my hardest to get it right the moment that I press the shutter. Photography is a huge field, and for now I would like to diversify my subject and not limit myself shooting only a particular genre.
