We are professional photographers. We make a living out of taking pictures. Most of us are photojournalists, shooting for Malaysian news organizations and international news wires.
Some of us here are known as Penghulus, a Malay word for village leaders. The Penghulus are the editors, administrators, and the people who take care of the FotoWarung.
To name a few of the Penghulus :
BAZUKI MUHAMMAD
International-award-winning-photojournalist Bazuki Muhammad shoots for Reuters. He discovered his passion for photography while studying architecture at Louisiana State University and covers the New Orleans areas and in Tennessee in the 80s. He left his architecture practice in 1998 because he could not resist “seeing creatively with his best lens, his eyes.” Bazuki covered cyclone Nargis in Myanmar, the war in Afghanistan, tsunami in Thailand, Hajj sacred journey in Mecca, the life of sea gypsies in the Sulawesi Sea and troubles in southern Thailand, to name a few.
Bazuki is at BazukiMuhammad.com, [email protected].

BEHIND THE SCENE PENGHULUS
These are the people who make the engine of FotoWarung running. They always remain at the back, hiding behind shying away. They are some IT experts, technical guys, who love LOOKING at good pictures, but just DO NOT KNOW how to make them. So, they JUST rather look at our PROUD works, and remain with the things they are very-very good at. Thanks guyz…
