About Me

I am Naeem Razak, “Just call me Naz!”

My friends know me best by being that one person that fails with text messaging’s ‘auto correct’ feature. I am the worst! If my emails don’t make sense, I was most likely on my phone. So, I apologise in advance. . . . .

My childhood home may have had more photos in it than most? I’m not too sure. But, I do remember going and getting film developed at Kmart quite often. We had an abundance of photos in the house from albums to loose 6×4’s stacked in containers and I often found myself searching for those photos of the past. I’ve always thought that I’ve had a good memory recalling events from when I was 3-4 years old. I do believe the photos from when I was a kid help flag markers in my timeline and have made it easier for me to remember those moments in between. – just a theory!

The search for more photos lead me to a closet where my Dad stored most of his camera equipment. I hit the jackpot – I thought. All these wicked camera gadgets with a handful of little DSLR cameras I had no idea existed in the house. This is where my journey in photography started. Being the introvert as I am as I used it as a tool to keep my mind focused on something when we went back to Malaysia to visit the family. I was quite happy just spending time on my own taking a picture of the spinning ceiling fan and seeing what would happen when I adjusted some settings.

I see everything in life as a journey. I’m still defining my style but it’s very clear what I’m drawn towards. Visions can’t be forced, the environment dictates the photo I’m just enhancing what I see.

The little things:

• My Instagram stories are random cat memes
• I taught myself how to do the moonwalk at age 7
• A fitness Junky in my other, other life
• Did I mention I love cats?
• Road trips Rock
• I’m a fishing addict
• I would easily wake up at 3:30 am to go fishing
• I’m an awesome sunrise photographer when I don’t catch a fish

My Vision

I want to see an image and feel like I was back there in the moment. Your experience of your wedding day is more important to me, I’m a ‘creative’ but that doesn’t mean directing your day perfectly just for the photos. The magic unfolds in the moments and they’re never expected.
