Muhammad Shafiq Salehuddin, online known as ShafiqanakSaleh - has been walked through the path of urban photography. Today, he has become one of popular freelance photographer and also a video director in Malaysia. When it comes to choosing your style, it depends on how you see your subjects and who are your inspirations. These will take time as you develop yourself, your preference and of course your own skill. Lately, he always takes photos from rooftops as his works are most likely to be in urban photography category which is related to social media, skateboarding, graffiti art, street fashion and so on. The first rooftop he has explored was from a building in Kampung Baru area. It become such an iconic place for Shafiq himself because it was the first time he felt fear of heights. Until now, he still has the same fear but in order to capture such breathtaking photos, he has to overcome the fear.

Shafiq went to his shooting and learned from there. That was the start of having the thought of buying his first full frame DSLR camera and using his own savings, he bought one. Buying a full frame one is really expensive so in order to refill his savings back, he was determined to come out with something that can repay the camera. In his personal opinion of any kind of art industry including photography, our government needs to expose themselves into the industry as it still need to be developed more. He wants people from the outside to actually see and
