Moments in Motion: Syafi 'Aizzuddeen’s Top 10 Photos

For someone like Syafi ‘Aizzuddeen, standing still has never really been an option.

From freelancer to full-timer, and now a familiar name in Brunei’s photography scene, especially within the wedding industry. Syafi ‘Aizzuddeen often describes himself as a meteor: always moving, always chasing the next moment. Even now, as a full-time media member and editor at AICREATIVV, juggling multiple client projects at once, he still makes time to do what he’s always loved most — taking photos and capturing the quiet beauty of everyday life.

These ten images reflect that rhythm. A mix of personal projects, internal shoots, and commissioned work — all seen through Syafi 'Aizzuddeen’s instinctive, always-curious lens.

1. Internal Project — Shooting Out of Boredom

Shot on Sony A7 IV

This frame came from a moment of boredom — no brief, no pressure. Syafi ‘Aizzuddeen decided to shoot Hisham Firdaus and leaned fully into cinematic lighting, creating an intimate, almost quiet atmosphere.

The text placement and alignment followed current visual trends, nothing overly planned. It was done just because, or in his words “saja-saja”

2. Personal Project — Chaos in Motion

Shot on Sony A7 IV

Here, motion blur turns ordinary figures into abstract shapes. The image feels restless, energetic, and slightly chaotic — exactly what drew Syafi 'Aizzuddeen to it.

Converted to black and white, the photograph takes on a moody, timeless quality. Less about who the subject is, more about how movement feels when frozen imperfectly.

3. Personal Project — A Birthday Surprise

Shot on Sony A7 IV

This image captures a moment tied closely to emotion — surprising his fiancée on her birthday.

Syafi 'Aizzuddeen leaned into his favourite effects here: VHS overlays and subtle distortion. The result feels nostalgic, imperfect, and honest just like a memory replayed rather than a polished photograph.

4. Personal Project — A Gift, Told as a Story

Shot on Sony A7 IV

This was an appreciation project: a birthday gift from his girlfriend (now fiancée). The focus was simple: document the gift itself, a Dua Lipa vinyl and record player, but present it with narrative and intention.

Rather than shooting it as a product, Syafi 'Aizzuddeen treated it like a story. One that's quiet, thoughtful, and personal.

5. AICREATIVV × Rattan House — Warmth in Craft

Shot on Sony A7 IV

Captured during a team-building day, this project highlighted handcrafted art and shared moments. While the scene was full of vibrant colours, Syafi 'Aizzudeen gravitated toward warmer tones, softening the frame’s overall feel.

It’s less about the activity, more about the atmosphere — warmth, texture, and togetherness.

6. Personal Project — The “Hero Colour”

Shot on iPhone 13 Pro

Syafi 'Aizzuddeen calls this his “hero colour” shot.

The focus is a muted, buttery yellow hues treated as the primary subject. Shot simply on an iPhone, the image proves that intention often matters more than equipment.

7. Personal Project — A Gift, Revisited

Shot on Sony A7 IV

This is one of Syafi 'Aizzuddeen's favourite personal projects to date.

Created as a birthday surprise for his fiancée, the image leans into warm tones, soft blacks, and muted cream hues. Everything about the frame feels gentle, considered, calm, and affectionate.

8. Personal Project — Quiet Lines

Shot on Sony A7 IV

This frame carries a cinematic-documentary feel.

Leading lines guide the eye while warm, muted colours hold the image together. The mood is calm, focused, and reflective. It's the kind of photographs that don't ask for attention, but rewards it.

9. Personal Project — Old Money Aesthetic

Shot on iPhone 13 Pro

Syafi 'Aizzuddeen was drawn to this car not because of modification, but because of restraint.

The owner left it untouched. No additions, no alterations. That choice, to Syafi 'Aizzuddeen added more value than anything else. The image leans into an “old money” aesthetic — understated, quiet, confident.

10. AICREATIVV × Filterworks — Value in Restraint

Shot on Fujifilm X-T3

Echoing the previous frame, this final image continues the same visual language. The absence of modification becomes the statement. The aesthetic stays classic, controlled, and timeless.

Sometimes, doing less says more.

Always Moving, Still Observing

Looking through these ten photographs, a pattern emerges. Judin doesn’t chase spectacle. He chases feeling — motion, warmth, nostalgia, quiet moments that might otherwise slip past.

Even as his roles evolve, one thing stays constant: the instinct to keep shooting, keep observing, and keep moving forward.

Like a meteor; always in motion, but never without intention.
