An architect by profession, a photographer by choice

Hin grew up in a small village on the island of Langkawi in Malaysia and since those early days of wandering the beaches and rain forests he has maintained strong links with nature. This back ground together with his creatively artistic style gives Hin the skills to capture the essence of any landscape or natural feature.

Hin Lim completed his Bachelor of Architecture with honours at Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia in 1999. After graduating he returned to his native Malaysia and spent three years with TR Hamzah & Yeang International in Kuala Lumpur. In 2003 Hin took up permanent residency in Australia and joined the well respected firm of architects & heritage consultants, Lovell Chen in Melbourne.

From this time Hin has seized every opportunity pursue his passion for photography, travelling extensively to capture his interpretation of the essence of the natural environment. These photographic journeys have included Kadavu Island in Fiji, Perth & environs, Tasmania, Central Australia, the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia as well as many trips within Victoria from his base in Melbourne.

Hin completed many projects, both personal and commissioned, whilst working full time as an architect. Now in 2008 an opportunity has arisen for Hin to devote part of his career to photography.

Since becoming a semi professional photographer Hin has had briefs for fashion parades, model portfolios and wedding albums as well as architectural and interior design recording.
