Hello, I am Soo Yeak
I strive to capture your genuine emotions so you can relive the moments forever.
From a Scientist to a Photographer
My love for photography began unexpectedly in 2014 while I was pursuing a biotech degree at a local university. During my final year project, I was tasked with taking specimen photos using a professional DSLR camera.
I started experimenting with the camera outside of my project, taking portraits of my friends and documenting everyday moments. The thrill of freezing a moment in time, capturing genuine emotions—whether it was the joy of a spontaneous laugh or the depth of a tear—became intoxicating. My camera quickly became my constant companion, accompanying me everywhere I went, from casual outings to significant
events.
The more I delved into photography, the more I realized this was more than a hobby—it was a passion. It brought me immense joy to immortalize fleeting moments and tell stories through my photos. After graduation, I knew that my heart lay not in a lab, but behind the lens. I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a wedding photographer, where I could blend my love for storytelling with the magic of capturing one of life’s most cherished moments.
Journey Behind the Lens
I am a firm believer in living in the moment and being present in every situation. As an extroverted person, I love to connect with people and see the beauty in everything around me. It is this perspective that I bring to every photo shoot, allowing me to capture not only the perfect shot but also the true essence of each moment.
