Photographer Profiles

Grey Chow is a Malaysian photographer based in Kuala Lumpur and while his extensive portfolio of nature, architectural and landscape work is impressive, his images of starlit skies are absolutely spectacular.

Chow is widely known for his nighttime photography, and the stunning image you see above is a time-lapse composite photo of stars spinning around Mt. Bromo—an active volcano in East Java, Indonesia.

Chow frequently picks a high vantage point from which to capture his stunning images and when shooting during the day he loves to photograph scenes bathed in late afternoon light that are wrapped clouds.
