Omadal | Portrait of Innocence | Black and White Portraiture
© 2010 Wazari Wazir | Portrait of Innocence | Omadal Island | Sabah Malaysia North Borneo Some people find it hard to locate Omadal on a Malaysian map, it’s there but it is not famous like Langkawi or Tioman Island in the Peninsular Malaysia or Sipadan and Mabul in Sabah Malaysia North Borneo.

Built Rapport With The People You Photograph
I’ve the opportunity attending Public Talk by Steve McCurry at Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia Kuala Lumpur in conjunction with his latest exhibition title A Common Faith: Steve McCurry’s Travels through the Muslim World on 7th January 2010. Steve McCurry is very famous with his Afghan girl portrait but I’m not going to talk about that picture. What I’m interested is how Steve approach his subject or in this case, people he photograph.
