Hi, I’m Cheng, a professional photographer and photo retoucher based in Malaysia. I specialize in natural, clean and commercially polished image editing, with a focus on consistent skin tones, realistic texture, controlled highlights and accurate color. I work across portraits, weddings, events and commercial photography, handling both individual images and larger batches. My goal is to create images that feel refined and professional without looking overly processed. Because I also photograph professionally, I understand how light, color and exposure behave during capture. This allows me to make editing decisions that preserve the original atmosphere and intent of each image.

Personal Profile: An Environmental Science graduate with a First Class Honours from University of Nottingham despite being diagnosed with High Functioning Autism. I was an SEO/AEO content writer at Growth.pro until April 2026. Through my work under Growth.pro, I've learned valuable skills in writing and editing online articles for various companies, improving their SEO/AEO to ensure that they rank highly at the top of every search query. Before that, I was a research writer at Wiki Impact until my contract ended in December 2023. My job at Wiki Impact involved researching various topics, from environmental to social, specific to Malaysia, and then using the information to write highly engaging and impactful articles about the various stories and issues I researched, ensuring that I could get the whole story across while also making them palatable and easy to digest for the public. Through my experience with Wiki Impact, I gained key writing and editorial skills as well as knowledge of different web programs such as Google Docs and WordPress. I have also greatly expanded the scope of the topics I am willing and able to cover, including social issues, key industry players, and changemakers, in addition to my prior expertise in the environment and nature.
