All three speakers are from the Wedding and Portraits Photographers Malaysia (WPPM), a professional body established with the main objective to foster good business practices, mobilise the photography community, to promote and set world-class photography standards in the local industry.

WPPM aims to provide a platform to all wedding and portrait photographers from students to professionals in Malaysia to advance in their arts and crafts via common sharing through the exchange of ideas and develop good professional business ethics.

The objective of this festival is to instill a healthy hobby and the love of photography in Sarawak’s youth through our various photography activities,” commented Leong.
