HONOR Malaysia has revealed the 2022 HONOR Magic Moments Awards winners. According to Justin Li, Chief Executive Officer of HONOR Malaysia, the project, which is centred on “The Beauty of Malaysia,” tends to create a platform for smartphone photographers to create and explore their talents via the lens of mobile imaging technology set on a global scale.
The announcement is a source of pride for our nation since Malaysian-born Muhd Fuad won the Recommendation Award for his picture, “When Sun Goes Down,” and received national recognition for his photograph, “Stranded Ship,” which won the grand prize.
Since May 2022, the HONOR Magic Moments Awards 2022 have received over 300,000 submissions, the most since the competition’s inception in 2021. The entries are assessed by a panel of seven renowned photographers who have won awards and are seasoned veterans in their respective professions. The highlights of Muhd Fuad are listed below.
Title: When Sun Goes Down
Phone Model: HONOR Magic 4 Pro
Story:
“The sea gypsies are true masters of the sea, having roamed the waters of the Coral Triangle between Malaysia, Philippines, and Indonesia for many generations. Even today, a sizable population still lives in wooden houseboats or stilt huts built atop coral reefs near Semporna’s islands. It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to capture the daily life of them by using a smartphone from honor that has a fast response and smart AI.”
— Muhd Fuad

Title: Stranded Ship
Phone Model: HONOR Magic 4 Pro
Story:
“I’m going out at sunset with a friend at the beach. There was a large ship that was stranded on the beach because of nightfall. Even though I have a DSLR, it has limitations in terms of flexibility. Here HONOR Magic4 Pro takes an advantage for this shoot, I used ultra wide mode, with a super low angle perspective. By inserting a rope in the foreground as a leading line to the ship.”
— Muhd Fuad
Title: The calamity of nature
Phone Model: HONOR Magic 4 Pro
Story:
“When there’s a lot of burden on my shoulders from work stress and daily life, the only way for me to let myself calm again is to be with nature. The calmness of nature helps heal the heart. There is nothing wrong if one wants to cry witnessed by nature to ease the burden. And this picture is representing my magic moment.”
— Andie Anthony
Title: Curiosity
Phone Model: HONOR Magic 4 Pro
Story:
“Feline are mischievous at times, but somehow, they’re adorable too. One of the things that make them special are their behavior that make you wonder what’s their next move is. This led to me to capture the curiosity moment while I was playing with my cat. She was going in and out under the lazy chair, planning the next move to counterattack with the toy on my hand. It was a cute moment to be captured in frame as they don’t always come by.“
— WildanT
