Street view.

This is where I share my street photography. I walk, I watch, and I post three frames at a time on Instagram: one row in colour, the next in black and white. Here, every row becomes a short story about where I was, what I saw and why I pressed the shutter.

Melaka, Malaysia · January 2024 · Colour

Red Walls, White Light

St. Francis Xavier’s Church, Melaka · January 2024 · Black & white

Built 1849

I went back to the same church, but this time I took the colour away. In black and white it all gets simpler: white walls, light and shadow, and a date written over the door.

Chin Swee Caves Temple, Genting Highlands · February 2024 · Colour

Looking Up at Chin Swee

Rain at the Temple

Same temple, very different mood. Mist instead of blue sky, rain on the stone, umbrellas everywhere. In black and white it suddenly felt like flipping through an old photo album.

Jonker Walk, Melaka · March – April 2024 · Colour

Jonker Walk Colours

Back to Melaka, this time to the streets around Jonker Walk. Here the colour is everywhere: on the windows, on the shop signs, even on the crowd. One window, one street, one sign.

Malaysia · March 2025 · Black & white

Ordinary Days

A year later, same habit: walk slowly, look around, wait for a small moment that holds a story. Three people, three ordinary scenes.
