Zarif Ismail for the book Rekah Fajar

 

Zarif Ismail (@hmmdzarif) is a self-taught photographer born in Perak, Malaysia. His works reveal a variety of themes, from the silence of suburban areas to space and personal objectivity, as a response to current issues. He sees the need to document everything that he goes through in life and believes that all things are important.

This series is a compilation of photos from the beginning of Zarif’s photographic journey to this day, a personal adventure from childhood to adulthood to retain past memories and record the moments that comes ahead. The photos in this book portrays a diversity of objects lying around, as if a mundane everyday scene; but in reality, these photos are composed with the influence of his feelings on current issues, politics, or a painting. The book presents the sweetness of still photos and landscape photos.

Rekah Fajar was published in September 2023.
