The creator / Naim
Curiosity sparked it.
Creativity keeps it going.
Naim's interest in photography began during his multimedia studies at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), where he learned with the cameras available to him. A family wedding in 2017 reignited his passion and encouraged him to keep improving.
Today, his work spans fashion, food, commercial, wedding and portrait photography. His approach remains rooted in experimentation and learning by doing.
01 / THE PERSPECTIVE
Familiar places.
Unexpected angles.
After transitioning to the Sony Alpha system with the Alpha 7 IV, Naim continued exploring ways to make his photography feel fresh. The FE 8–14mm F3.5 Fisheye G gave him a new perspective to experiment with.
For Naim, the excitement is in experimenting with angles and seeing how much of a scene can fit into one frame.
02 / THE CREATIVE SHIFT
Let the scene
curve around you.
Unlike a conventional wide-angle lens, a fisheye lens intentionally bends straight lines and exaggerates perspective. Instead of avoiding distortion, you can use it to create a distinctive visual story.
The same surroundings can feel completely different when you change your camera position.
03 / THE LENS
One lens.
Two ways to see.
On a full-frame Sony Alpha camera, the FE 8–14mm F3.5 Fisheye G offers a circular fisheye perspective at 8mm and a frame-filling diagonal fisheye perspective at 14mm.
That creative range makes it an interesting option for photographers exploring expressive portraits, architecture, city scenes and experimental video.
Try it yourself
Three ways to experiment
with fisheye photography.
01 / MOVE
Change your angle.
Get low, move closer or shoot upward. Notice how your perspective changes the scene.
02 / INCLUDE
Use the surroundings.
Let architecture, leading lines and the environment become part of the composition.
03 / EXPLORE
Try both perspectives.
Experiment across the 8–14mm zoom range to find the look that fits your idea.
04 / THE TAKEAWAY
Keep shooting.
Keep discovering.
For Naim, growth comes from practice. He encourages aspiring photographers to keep shooting, even without an assignment, and to learn from every mistake.
His experience with fisheye photography is a reminder that creativity often begins when you try something unfamiliar.

What could you discover
from a different angle?
Sometimes, all it takes is a different perspective to make the everyday feel extraordinary.
