Colinizing Photography with Colin Boyd Shafer

I grew up in Canada, and have always loved to travel. I have a passion for experiencing ‘diversity’, and love looking at society through a critical yet appreciative lens.

Currently I lecture in Social Science at a college in Subang Jaya, Malaysia and write weekly for the Malaysian Insider.
I am advising a group of students running a photography project with Burmese Refugee Children living in Malaysia.

Join me at Colin Boyd Shafer’s Solo Exhibition…

My cameras are the Canon EOS Rebel XT and a Canon 7d
I shoot with a Canon 75-300mm, 18-55mm, and a Tokina 11-16mm and Tamron 17-50mm lens

My goal is to inspire, and promote deeper thinking through my pictures. I want to take the viewer on a journey.
