Not long before his graduation, Asyraf discovered photography through some random internet browsing which he also discovered many names in photography that he still worships such as Platon, Richard Avedon, David Lachapelle, Annie Leibovitz and Easton Chang. A few months after his discovery and slight involvement with a few online photography forum, a local portraists invited Asyraf on a photo shoot to show what are the process involved in a photo shoot.
