Exposing KL’s nostalgic and dark undersides through the lens of photographer Kenny Loh
Safe. Human. Unintimidating.
I’m Kenny Loh — portrait photographer, documentary storyteller, and creator of Born in Malaysia.
I photograph people with patience, ease, and gentle direction. You don’t need to perform or impress — just breathe. I create a space where the tension drops and your real presence settles in. Born in Malaysia shaped this instinct: to reveal portraits that feel honest, human, and unmistakably you.

Every portrait begins with listening.
Born in Malaysia
A long-running portrait series honouring everyday Malaysians who built this country quietly and steadily. Born in Malaysia records dignity, heritage, and character through faces, hands, work, and place — a living archive of who we are.
Portraits
Quiet, human portraits shaped by trust and ease. I guide gently, watching for the moment someone exhales and their real presence appears. These are not performances or poses, but honest reflections of who someone is — natural, confident, and completely human.
CORPORATE & BUSINESS
Professional portraits that feel real, not rigid. I photograph leaders and teams with clarity and calm, revealing confidence without losing personality. These images communicate authority, approachability, and trust — standing steady, speaking clearly, without ever needing to shout.
EDITORIAL & FEATURES
Observant, cinematic portraits made inside real lives and working worlds. I photograph people with curiosity and presence, focusing on gestures, textures, and atmosphere. These images feel lived-in and layered — stories told through moments rather than staging.
COFFEE TABLE BOOKS
Stories preserved in print with intention and care. From families to organisations and communities, I create coffee-table books that weave portraits and narratives into lasting legacies — personal, dignified, and beautifully human.
Images that feel lived-in, not staged.
