RICKY HENG
Ricky Heng was born on August 13 1968,in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia. As a secondary school student, Ricky was actively involved in fine
art & design which led him to pursue his further studies at the Malaysian Insitute
of Art, majoring in graphic design. Ricky began his career as a graphic designer
at an advertising agency. He continued this line of work at a few agencies for some
years. But as he was deeply in love with the art of photography, he has turned his
serious hobby into a career as a professional photographer. At present, Ricky is
attached to the SUN newspaper, a local English daily, as a press photojournalist.
As a press photographer combined with the knowledge of graphic design, Ricky's portfolio
demonstrates bold and innovative use of colour, along with the contrast of black
& white in the design element of his images to solve boring composition and to
bring out the mood & concept in his pictures. Besides fine art & design in
photography, Ricky also specialises in digital photoshop and photo retouching especially
when faced with complicated conceptual Megazine feature assignments wherever impact
is needed for a Sun Megazine cover.
