A photographic attempt at portraying and reviving a Malaysian Kadazandusun mythological demon called the 'Sopok'. A skulled, gnome like monster who tricks hikers and campers to get lost and never find their way back home.
Canon 80D / Godox Triopo Flash / 1/100SS / ISO100 / f8.0 / -1.0 📷
Stories from deep inside Malaysian jungles made me realise how little we respect and pay attention to myths and legends related by diverse ethnicities that loom on the border between reality and belief. From stories that whisper around a camp fire to accounts of real life witnesses, I have always, throughout my 20 years of living, had a deep and passionate interest to document and listen to these tales of ghosts and demons that surround the topic of jungles and the unchartered wilderness.
As a photographer I believe in the talent of creativity, to bring those tales to life, in detailed images that resemble the descriptions of those who relate their supernatural experiences. This shall be a new project of mine in order to revive and give life to stories of tribes and normal day folk and their generations, before they get lost in time forever. More stories to come and much more tales to explore !
Always nice to respect tribal myths and legends along with peoples diverse beliefs. I honestly believe protecting these cultures and stories is as important as protecting the people it self. ❤
