Bajau or “Badjao”, people that neglected …

Bajao means “man of the seas”. By tradition, the people are sea nomads, travel by boat from one island to the next in search of fishing harvest, therefore they also called “Sea-Gypsies”

Over the years, more and more Bajao people have been lured away from the ocean, migrating to a life on land. Because of their lifestyle, the Bajao are at a disadvantage with no schooling, healthcare or access to government-provided social services.

These series of Bajao people are taken at Bajao village in the province of Batangas Philippine, a place that isolated from outside world.

I come from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
I have pick up photography as hobby in year 2013 when my friend Ujin introduced me to a DSLR camera. Since then, i have always been fascinated the power of images..
As a passionate amateur photographer, i always considered photography is a way to perpetuate a moment, with all the associated emotions and a way to share and spread my way of seeing the world through my camera.
I’m Interested in shooting peoples, landscape and street photography. My camera will be with me whenever i travel locally or others countries. For me, a good image tells a story, its will inspiring the spectator’s feeling and emotion and become curious to know more about the peoples, cultures or sceneries in different places, and i enjoyed every moment of photographing.
I have just started to enter few international photography competition in 2016 and i have been very fortunate to received some awards for my photos, this give me a very big encouragement to continue in my journey of photography.
