influenced by film and cinema. By brilliantly capturing the essence of
human struggle and joy, his images display the expression of his
personal view of people and instances. He travels widely to work
on personal photographic projects. He is also one of the co-founders of
GRAIN, connecting
his
audiences through the medium of
film.
He has worked with government
agencies such as National
Arts
Council, National Heritage Board, Singapore Tourism Board, National Library
Board, multinational companies like Unilever
and even indie startups that include the likes of HAYSTAKT.
