I’m Chir Yan and I am a creative director and photographer.

Born and raised in Malaysia, I grew up with a camera in one hand and an obsession for hunting fun, fleeting moments. But life, I’ve learned, isn’t just lightness—it’s a tapestry of joy, surprise, sadness, and everything in between. These emotions don’t fracture us; they make us whole. That realization changed everything. Now, I don’t just capture moments—I frame emotions and stories, turning the ephemeral into cinematic poetry.

I still chase this obsession because images transcend language. If my work can whisper to strangers across the oceans—

if it makes someone think, “I’ve felt this too”, then I’ve done what I came here to do.
