Zooming in on quake aid

Seng raised $10,000 for the appeal, taking photos across Perth from May 22-23.

He took a selfie with a quokka on Rottnest Island, shot a midnight maternity photo, gave an inspirational talk to photography students at St Hilda's Anglican School for Girls and even dressed up as Steve Aoki to drive an Uber car.

Individuals were encouraged to donate $200 and businesses were asked to donate $500 for an hour of Seng's time.

He said his first overseas adventure was to Nepal in 2009, where he volunteered at a remote primary school before he had any interest in photography.

"It was an eye-opening experience, and one that sparked my love of travel, community and curiosity about the world outside my own little bubble," Seng said.

"After the recent tragic events, I've been trying to think of a way to give back to the country and the people that really started it all for me.

"As soon as I announced it, there were enough requests to fill the whole day but I wanted unique and different bookings."

Seng said an extra $2000 was contributed to the fund after the 24-hour project was finished to bring the total up to $10,000.

"When we heard about the second earthquake, it strengthened my determination to do something," he said. "I would like to go back (to Nepal)."

He is considering returning to the country at the end of the year.
