Jinn Jyh Leow
Born and raised on the island of Penang, Malaysia, I am a Penangite through and through.
I had no interest in photography until a university assignment had me out in the streets documenting the activities on the sidewalks. That was around the same time I found and fell in love with the photographs of everyday coincidences. I had not stopped photographing since.
Growing up in a car-dependent society where a 10-minute walk is considered excessive, walking is a discovery and a blessing; to be able to slow down, to observe, to wait, and to capture little (and perhaps unusual) moments of life. It is exciting to be out there, looking for the fleeting moments when spontaneity meets chance.
I love the fact that I don’t have to plan. I just have to have my camera, and start walking.
Pure serendipity – that’s how I discovered Street Photography and that’s what I love about it.
A mixture of coal and sawdust, a splash of water. Throw in a Yorkshire pudding mix, shake it up with Maori new beginnings and an Australian no worries blend. You have a Robert C Bannister. A life in engineering but a photojournalist screaming to get out. Street photography gives me that kick!
"Born out of a love of fine coffee and watching the world go by"

I am 50 years old from Singapore.
I'm an engineer by profession.
My hobby is mountaineering, I always love outdoors. This is the reason why I got into street photography, it makes you keep moving, traveling, going to places you have never been.
Most of the photos are taken here in a vibrant city of Singapore, a multi racial population living harmoniously and this what i want to capture and share through my photos.
Street Photography gives me excitement because of the candid moments that I can capture. In this art form I can really express my creativity.
I started to deepen the photography only in October 2010, when my wife gave me a camera for my birthday.
But I always shyly love it.
Actually I was born as a musician.
I did guitarbar, as well as the street artist.I played a lot, without a goal, until when, at 35, I started working, first as a broadcast technician and later as a sound engineer, in a television station.
Here I also dealt with graphics and another great love blossomed: the CGI.
This work experience lasted 12 years.
Then I enrolled in a master's degree for 3D Artist in whose program of studies were provided rudiments of photography, even with practical sessions.
After the master I wanted to deepen following a professional photography course, of course.
In short, to get here I made the rounds wide.
Everyone has his monsters to fight and I need to learn something new every day, to go to sleep peaceful.
Born in 1965 in Berlin, currently lives in Baden Württemberg.
For photography he commutes constantly between Bangkok (Thailand) and Saigon (Vietnam).
The trained project manager has been working part-time as a street photographer for over 15 years.
Some of his pictures won international competitions, were printed in magazines and were exhibited at the Photokina.
Professional photographer? I hope!
Actually I’m an employee in one of biggest banking company in Indonesia. My expertise is in Information Security Architect.
I started to love taking pictures with my camera so many years ago when I was in college. Using an analog camera and roll films has been an amazing experience for me. At that time, I need to defray my expenses by myself to minimize my parents’ load.
So I kind of became a commercial photographer. I enjoyed that moment, and I’m really proud of myself because I could pay my expenses from taking pictures. When a digital camera came into my world, I was interested in macro, landscape, and street photography.
Taking pictures of human activities, interactions, habits, and cultures are such very amazing experiences to me.
When I’m on the street, I enjoy creating interactions with strangers from various social levels and different/heterogeneous types of people.
Talking about their life, family, dreams, etc. has made me aware and realized about life principals and I must be grateful to God for what I own now.
My interest in photography began at an early age and resulted in my mother hiding both cameras and film as I was told, “you are taking pictures of things no one cares about”. At age fourteen, I’d saved enough to purchase a used used Konica Rangefinder. I was instantly and completely in love. It’s been 54 years since then and my love for photography remains unfettered.
My formal training in began in 1972. I was extremely fortunate to be personally trained by, and then apprentice under Don Ayotte. Don is an honors graduate from Brooks Institute of Photography, and went on to become The Director of Education at Hallmark Institute of Photography. Looking back, Don probably felt that if he could get me on track he could teach anyone. Occasionally Divino Mucciante would visit from Canada to sooth my pain and tell me there was hope.
Like most apprentices I went on to open my own photography business and made my way shooting advertising post cards and brochures, of course weddings when necessary. I made the standard progression from my first medium format cameras, Mamiya C220 the C330, Koni and Rapid Omega, and ultimately a Hasselblad system. Lately I’ve come to regret that those cameras were given away.
I supported my family and paid the mortgage with photography throughout the 70’s and early 80’s. In the mid 80’s photography ceased being my profession, but It never never left my heart. I have been a passionate and dedicated photographer throughout my adult life trying to make images now for about 54 years.
Over the last 30 years, I focused my career on data delivery and the protection of communication systems and businesses from systemic intrusion. I held a Master License in Data, Telephone, Video and Sound and became expert in the delivery of secure communication. Always though, there was photography.
Deriving my income from other means freed me to photograph all of the things which I’d been told so many years ago, “no one cares about”. But I do care, deeply.
I love the art of photography and the small machines we use to control the light which creates it, both the new and complex as well as the simple and old.
