The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.: The Blackest Lily

My name is Jewel Ling and I'm currently based in Penang, Malaysia. I've been practicing photography since 2009 and most of my techniques and editing are self taught. From the beginning, I've always had a special fondness for the abstract art/fashion photography and out of the many photographers that I'm inspired from, Steven Meisel has made the transcendent impact on how I imagine and compose my shoots. The way he starts from scratch every time he goes on a shoot, because it's based on whatever influences he's cherry-picked from the culture at that moment. That's what I want to do or at least what I try. Honestly to say, my vision for my future in this line of work is yet to be ultimated but what would be better than to do something that I love so much now. So come what may,
I'll be prepared for it.

"It's up to the viewer to take time with these images and to find deeper meaning. At least, it is my hope that deeper meaning can be found in my photography."

I hope you enjoy viewing my work.
Thank you.
