This image won one of the Pewter Tray Awards during the 25th Singapore International Salon, held in 1974. Making full use of the strong lines and pattern of our local Housing Board buildings, the only colour added here is from the violet diazo film onto the staircase. Lighting has played an important part for the visual impact of the image. The figure served as the centre of interest, providing a human touch to the scene.
This is another slide that based on the simplicity and colours to create a vigorous visual impact. The bias relief treatment of the violet diazo film has emphasized the original strong lines and pattern of the picture even further. This is a “Porcelain Award” slide of the 23rd Worcestershire International Salon, UK, held in1975.
This is another blue diazo bias relief colour derivation slide from my collection. Simplicity and good composition are the highlights of this image. The colour further enhanced the visual impact of the slide. This example illustrates how an outstanding image can be created out of an ordinary scene in daily life. It was awarded a PSA Gold Medal for the Best Contemporary Slide of the Show in the 3rd Red River International Salon, Canada in 1983. This is one of the National Gallery, Singapore, Permanent Collections.
