Jeffrey Lim, based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Trained as a communication designer, he has been actively involved in cycling & accessibility advocacy. His artistic expression stems from his cultural work in social art projects using cultural mapping, installation and photography. Jeff has worked in brand identity design and started his own design practise in 2009.
As an artist, Jeff considers himself more as a cultural narrator, utilising forms of conceptual representation with imagery, found-object, and space. His recent work with Kanta Portraits has seen him travel between Malaysia and Taiwan in a social exchange with indigenous communities. Exploring the concepts of identities and the nation state.

Nurul Huda, freelance photographer based in Selangor, Malaysia. With a deep interest in photography since 2010, she pursued her education in Diploma in Photography at SEGi College Subang Jaya, Malaysia. Her works focus mainly on portraiture, events and analogue photography.
Her exploration on analogue photography began during her study days, which led to the embarking of the box camera project for her final year assessment, inspired and mentored by Jeffrey Lim, the pioneer of box camera in Malaysia. Since then onwards, she has participated in multiple exhibitions, namely People’s Youth Exhibition organized by Malaysian Heritage and History Club, and SAY Ignite x SACH Creative Exhibition. She also held portrait sessions with the self-built camera @projectkeepsake. In collaboration with a local film lab in Kuala Lumpur, she teaches classes on film developing process. #projectkeepsake

Antoine Loncle, Malaysian-French documentary photographer using analog processes and materials in his work. In 2016 he traveled to Australia to undertake his BA in Photography at Photography Studies College, Melbourne. In this time, he has been fortunate enough to have had guidance from some of the country’s biggest photographic artists, participated in several group exhibitions, and developed a mentorship in 2018 with renowned American photographer Bryan Schutmaat. In 2020, he founded Lumiere Photo Labs @lumierephotolabs an institution based in Penang, dedicated to conducting analog process and photography workshops.
As his interests in analog and alternative processes grew, in late 2019 he began work on the construction of a home-made camera capable of producing analog prints up to 8x10” in size. Since it’s completion in 2020, the camera has been used to capture portraits of a number of individuals across Penang, as well as for educational purposes. #Luminerephotolabs
