Malaysian photographer Bonnie Yap gets up close and personal with the locals in South Georgia

While anyone can take a photo, it takes skill, patience, experience and a keen eye to turn it into art which is what Malaysian lass Bonnie Yap has done as she has turned her keen photographer’s eye on the rich wildlife and epic frozen vistas of South Georgia, a collection of remote islands in the southern Atlantic that are still administered as British territory.

In collaboration with the Mah Sing Group, Bonnie Yap will be exhibiting her latest work dubbed “Through the Eyes of South Georgia” that were captured by her at the South Georgia Islands last year over the course of a month where she took breathtaking pictures of the native wildlife. Using a combination of Canon cameras that included the Canon 5DS R and the Canon 1DX along with a range of lenses that included a selection of top-shelf glass such as EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II, the Canon 28-70mm F/2.8L and the Canon 16-35mm F/2.8L II, Bonnie has managed to capture the raw natural  beauty of nature’s creations up close.

The exhibition aims to raise funds for the Liter of Light project, sponsored by the Mah Sing Foundation to bring renewable light energy to poverty stricken areas.Proceeds from sales of exhibits at the show will be donated to the aforementioned charity. Bonnie has close to three decades of experience as a photographer and is highly sought after to cover exclusive events and now seeks to use her skills to benefit society. The exhibition will be open for public viewing at Traders Hotel, Kuala Lumpur from 2 June until 30 June from 9.00AM to 9.00PM daily.
