To award-winning photographer Heng Mok Zung (better known as Zung Ninjaphotographer), ‘crisis is opportunity’. So when the pandemic hit and he wasn’t able to travel overseas for his photography assignments, he decided to use the extra time he had to build his second business – a private dining experience.

“Creativity can be in many areas, not just in photography – although that is my main business – so I started a side business to help my community, including my parents and relatives in my hometown Sekinchan,” says the 42- year-old who has won many awards including the World’s Ten Outstanding Photography Professionals Award 2017.
