The Malaysian photographer believes in the importance of slowing down to smell the roses.

“I see it as literally going slower when you’re on a trip or travelling, and being open to things that could happen around you. To be more willing to allow yourself to develop intimate connections with a location and its people. If you’re always in a rush, you’re limiting yourself to fewer things you might see and hear,” Amani said during an interview in Bangsar South in Kuala Lumpur.
While Amani enjoys capturing fascinating travel images, she’s probably most known for her fashion portfolio. The talented young photographer from KL is a multi-disciplinary visual artist who’s made a name for herself with her striking, minimalist images. You’ve probably seen her work with prominent local fashion brands such as Nelissa Hilman, Ana Abu and SHALS.
“For travel photography, I see it as something more personal where you get to choose and curate your own story out of a place or location. It’s between you and your inner self.” While Amani excels at capturing images of distant lands, her start in photography came close to home. When she was in her late teens, the budding shutterbug would frequently “borrow” her dad’s digital camera to take photos of everything in her house, from flower arrangements to family members.
Amani’s images are a celebration of beauty and whimsy in the mundane: One features an avian collector hanging a cage at a row of sky-high poles at the Kebun Baru Birdsinging Club, while another is an astoundingly fit senior citizen at Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West flexing his muscles for the camera.
