Here is a special article for Kuala Lumpur street art with Galaxy Smartphones that I have used in the last two years.
I am currently using the Galaxy S22 Ultra, the best unit for my smartphone photography due to its incredible camera capabilities that lets me enjoy photography to its maximum.
Kuala Lumpur Street Art with Galaxy Smartphones
Over the years, I have travelled around Malaysia a lot for my personal and tourism work, and I always encounter interesting street art or murals painted on shop lots and buildings.
I used to take photos with my DSLR camera many years back, and eventually, in 2019, I moved to a mirrorless camera, leaving the bulky DSLR world.
Since technology with smartphones has improved, I started to focus on using my Galaxy smartphone for general photography, namely when I walk around for street photography.
Therefore, here is a series of street art and murals from around Kuala Lumpur, which I have been taking photos of over the last few years with my Galaxy smartphone.
Also, note that some of the street art may no longer be there as the building owners sometimes paint over it. Click on the images to see the full photos.
