This year’s World Oceans Day 2024 has saw Canon Malaysia and the Borneo Marine Research Institute (BMRI) at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) working together for a special program – the “Exploring Ocean Awareness Through Photography” workshop and photo exhibition.
Led by renowned underwater photographer and Canon’s EOS Master, Ipah Uid Lynn, the initiative aims to inspire and empower participants while spreading the importance of ocean conservation to the public, hoping to improve general awareness as well.
Overall, the workshop revolved around Ipah giving various tips and essential guidelines on how to take underwater photography since this is a completely different field than your standard “aim and shoot” method.
A range of photos was also displayed there. Printed by Canon’s imagePROGRAF Pro Series printers, these materials are just revealing the “tip of the iceberg” in terms of the beauty and fragility of the ocean world.
Canon Malaysia hoped that everyone who participated would have a deeper connection and appreciation towards Malaysia’s rich marine biodiversity as well as express positive intention to work with BMRI further in the future in terms of ocean-themed projects.
UMS Vice-Chancellor, Professor Datuk Dr. Kasim Hj Mansor, also encouraged the public to protect and rejuvenate the vitality of the oceans, securing a promising future for generations to come.
Canon Marketing Malaysia’s Head of Kota Kinabalu Branch, Calvin Liew stated the following during the event:
“At Canon, we firmly believe in the power of imaging to inspire positive change, this workshop and photo exhibition embodies our ‘Kyosei’ philosophy of living and working together for the common good. By equipping participants with the knowledge to capture the wonders of the underwater world and showcasing Ipah’s captivating imagery, we hope to ignite a passion for marine conservation and inspire action to protect our precious oceans.”
