INTRODUCTION
QBy Khin C
Hello, I'm Khin, a hobbyist photographer on a journey to capture not just images but moments that resonate with the soul. In the transformative span of 2023, with nearly 3 years of pandemic lockdowns and self-reflection, I embarked on a personal odyssey to Japan, seeking inspiration and self-discovery. Over six immersive months, I delved into the vibrant tapestry of Japanese culture, learning the art of serenity in bustling cityscapes and embracing the profound wisdom of Zen philosophies.
This transformative experience has woven its influence into my work and life. My photography reflects not just visuals but the tranquillity found amidst the chaos, the beauty in simplicity, and the essence of Zen living. Beyond the lens, I am driven by a desire to make a positive impact. My belief extends beyond traditional acts of charity to the power of simple human connection. A heartfelt conversation has the potential to uplift those navigating the complexities of life, often unaware of the richness within.
As you explore my portfolio, you'll witness moments frozen in time, each narrating a story and echoing the lessons learned during my time in Japan. Join me in my journal of finding peace, beauty, and connection in every frame.

PRINTS FOR CHARITY
By Khin C
I always believe that there's always a reason behind everything. All this while, I have been taking photos purely as my hobby and did not have the confidence to even think of setting up a site or producing prints. Not until 2020, an extremely harmful year in our history, with lockdowns and restrictions, people losing their jobs, lost and stuck. I took time to reflect and a pause in my daily result-driven work life to be grateful for life and think of what to do.
Finally, I considered tidying my storage and selling unwanted goods, generating income from value depreciation, and using a big part of this income for charity. One day, I was tidying my memory cards to clear up space and creating folders for my photographs, and an idea came to me, "maybe I can link my hobby of photography to my passion for making a difference in others' lives?" There are many ways to make a difference in people's lives; it can be as simple as a smile, quick motivation, or positive comments to something more impactful, like paying medication bills and providing necessities to the less fortunate.
A friendly reminder for us all: some people are suffering even in good times and good years. While we can surf the internet, wake up without pain and have a home to stay in during bad times, there is no reason for you to feel negative.
I am sincerely grateful and appreciate all the love and support for me.
So here I am, decided to make good use of the extra time staying in to set up this page to share my hobby and try to establish a win-win situation using my prints. A beautiful print for your home, business or office and funds that goes to supporting the less fortunate in my hometown. Perfect.
I have always linked my work to charity for those who don't know me much. I usually focus on helping individuals who need support, whether settling bills for medical supplies, providing basic shelter, education or necessities; I will always try my best to support them even if I can only help one person. I will leave the opportunities of partnering with established NGOs and NPOs to the more prominent groups; I am sure they will do the job perfectly. We will continue to take small steps and a more personal approach to make a difference in someone else's life.
Stay safe, and let's do some good work for the less fortunate.
