Speaking with Bona Fide - 'Kuya' Affendi Samsudin, artist, photographer and all round best big brother in the world, talks about photography and what it means to him.
Why photography...
Because I enjoy sharing my interpretation of beauty and the emotion of that given moment through my captures.
Photography means to me...
Photography is my artistic way of expressing the moments and the memories based on how I see and feel at that moment.
The power of photography...
Photography can have the power to affect someone's emotions whether it be happy, sad, surprised or shocked. A frozen memory that comes to life and tells a story.

Who inspires/influences my work...
To me photography can be personal but also is a way of expressing oneself to share what is seen through the eyes.
Therefore I would say its myself who inspires me. Also mother nature because I'm always trying my best to capture the beauty of that moment.
What tools, hardware, software do you use?

What advice would you give anyone looking to get into photography, or who is just starting out?
My advice would be to find their passion because photography covers many categories. Once they know, it's important to just feel comfortable and relaxed behind the camera.
Before you press that button you need to have a story already made in your thoughts. That way it becomes easier to express what you want to show in your captures.
