Photography Tours Malaysia @2025/2026

More Information About David Hogan Jr

I am an independent photographer based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Since 2024, I have run a bespoke photography tour business designed for travellers, creatives, and photography enthusiasts seeking a deeper, more visually engaging experience of the places they visit. With over 35 years of experience in photography, my journey began in 1990, encompassing a range of genres, including commercial, editorial, documentary, and travel photography.

In 2007, I transitioned fully into photojournalism, a role that allowed me to explore and document Malaysia’s diverse landscapes, cultures, and communities. During that time, I received numerous awards for my tourism-focused articles and photo essays, many of which spotlighted lesser-known parts of the country. These years of exploration and storytelling shaped my philosophy: that photography is not just about images—it’s about connection, context, and capturing the soul of a place.

Today, I offer thoughtfully curated photography tours throughout Kuala Lumpur, designed to suit all skill levels, from casual shooters to advanced photographers. Whether you’re interested in capturing KL’s dynamic architecture, vibrant street scenes, or everyday local life, each photo tour is tailored to help you sharpen your eye, learn new techniques, and create meaningful images.

My photography tours include:

• Day and night photography tours in Kuala Lumpur, focusing on light, composition, and storytelling in both natural and urban settings.

• A unique Kuala Lumpur Instagram Photography Spots Tour, crafted for social media-savvy travellers who want to capture the city’s trendiest and most photogenic locations.

During these photography tours, I incorporate rich cultural and historical insights, drawing on my previous background as a certified tour guide for Malaysia. I don’t just show you the sights—I share the stories behind them, offering a deeper, more meaningful connection to the places we explore together.

As a native English speaker with a warm and approachable style, I take pride in crafting each experience as relaxed, insightful, and enjoyable as possible. I work with individuals, couples, and small groups, ensuring personal attention and flexibility throughout.

Looking ahead, I’ll be expanding beyond Kuala Lumpur with:

• Semporna Photography Tour, featuring the unique nomadic indigenous ethnic group known as sea gypsies that are deeply connected to the marine environment of East Sabah on Borneo Island.

• In Q3 of 2025, I will launch international photography tours, starting with:

  • Osaka–Kyoto–Nara Photography Tour in Japan, where ancient temples, sleek cityscapes, and seasonal beauty await.

  • Kathmandu Photography Tour in Nepal focuses on capturing the colour, spirituality, and everyday rhythm of this sacred, energetic city.

All tour details, launch dates, and booking information will be announced here on my website and through my social media platforms. Whether you’re travelling to learn, to create, or to see the world through a new lens, I invite you to join me for a photography experience that’s personal, immersive, and deeply inspiring.
