Hi, I’m Awan Jebat, a budding wildlife photographer from Malaysia. For the past year, I’ve been documenting the beauty of Malaysia’s wildlife, especially its birds. I recently completed two personal projects that truly meant the world to me. Then, everything stopped. I was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy. My dominant hand was affected. The same hand I use to hold my lens, to frame each shot and to tell the stories I love. The doctors told me to rest for three months. Being forced to step away from what I love has been painful, especially when I still hear the words someone once said to me, that I was one of the worst wildlife photographers in Malaysia. This has been one of the hardest chapters of my life. But I am still here, holding onto hope that healing will come, and that one day I will return to the wild with my camera in hand. Until then, your thoughts, your prayers, and your kindness mean more to me than I can ever put into words.
