I first came to Malaysia in 1982 for a short holiday and was immediately struck by its scenic beauty, diverse culture and colonial history.

I returned two years later, and had a wonderful experience for the next three years traveling around and taking photographs of Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia on a 500cc Honda Silverwing motorcycle shipped in from England.

In 1990, i set up a business publishing and distributing scenic postcards around Malaysia. Tourism in the country was just beginning to flourish and as I enjoyed being in South East Asia, it seemed a logical step to allow me to keep contact with the area.

From very humble beginnings, the business was built up to the point where it was selling one million scenic postcards per year, mainly in the tourist areas of Penang, Langkawi, Cameron Highlands and Kuala Lumpur.

In 1999, I helped to set up Sunspot Productions Sdn Bhd, a company which has carried on the good work of the previous business. Our products include scenic postcards, tourist guide maps, photo books, calendars, photo prints and posters. Over the years, i have been involved with a number of photographic and projects around Malaysia.

I hope all of you visiting the site will find the photographs interesting and of value to your business.
