Taking a photo is easy. But to capture the soul, that is art.
ABOUT
A man of many talents, Ar. Gary Ng graduated with his B.Sc. Architecture from UCSI in 2010 and his Bachelor of Architecture from University of Malaya in 2014. He registered himself as a Professional Architect after obtaining his license from the Board of Architects Malaysia in 2021. He would eventually set up his own Architectural Consultancy Practice, QUOK Architect in 2023 and dipped his toes in the finance industry to become a first-year Supreme MDRT qualifying financial advisor with AIA in the same year.
But before all that, Gary ventured into the world of photography while he was still at school in 2003. Apart from private and commercial photography work that he does on a regular basis, he also exhibited his works multiple times over the years at the prestigious Kuala Lumpur Photography Festival, his most outstanding work was the “Architecture & Dance” photography series which captures the beauty and fluid movement of dancers within the backdrop of architectural works around Malaysia. These series of work were also featured on multiple photographic magazines and was his topic at the 2012 Kuala Lumpur Photography Festival that qualified him as one of the finalists for the title of “Photo-creator of the Year 2012”.
