Edmond Leong is the first Malaysian to achieve a top-three placement in the Under 20 category at the Siena Awards in Italy.
PETALING JAYA: Imagine the thrill of walking the streets of Kuala Lumpur one day capturing shots of everyday life, then finding yourself strolling down the streets of Italy years later.
Amongst a crowd of both amateur and professional photographers from over 100 countries, Leong’s photo of the 2023 Bon Odori festival in Shah Alam, caught many people’s attention. His award-winning photo perfectly captured the joviality of the festival up close and the few hilarious candid expressions of children.
Leong made a deal with his mother to pay for the tech gadgets in monthly instalments, all while assuming he would become a full-time content creator. However, just six months later, he realised that video wasn’t for him, and swiftly switched to photography, which gradually became his obsession. When shooting on the street, Leong seeks moments that pique his interest, whether they convey happiness, sadness, or romance, experimenting with reflections and shadows as well.
For him, the art form isn’t only about capturing people or models walking on the street. “To me street photography shows the cultures and stories of a city. You’re basically an ambassador of your own city. Who else will capture these moments, that too, for no money?”Continuously studying the craft of renowned photographers like Alex Webb, Leong is now a well-known name among shutterbugs in the country.
