Malcolm is an event photographer who has documented events, trainings, and conferences all across the San Francisco Bay Area. Through the lens of his camera, he seeks out the essence of each event and captures it in a way that is both unique and compelling.
Malcolm’s first experiences with photography were in documenting the Bay Area’s diverse bike scene, and he quickly moved into telling the stories of the many aspects of social service agencies as his main profession. Even as his focus has become corporate event photography, Malcolm regularly supports the community work of local agencies and organizations as their principal photographer. Malcolm’s work documenting the Bay Area bike scene was featured in Oakland Photo Workshop’s inaugural exhibition.
