This is another set up image that I created at the Singapore Cockpit Hotel (now demolished) in 1974. The violet hue is a montage of diazo film onto the original transparency. This image won the PSA Gold Medal for the Best Contemporary Slide of the 15th 35mm International Salon, Hong Kong in 1977.
This is an image that won the “Best Photo Travel Picture of the Year” of the PSA Photo Travel Division in 1994. Every year the Travel Division invites photographers to submit their prize winning photo travel slides from all international salons. The best picture is then selected among the prize winning images for this prestigious award. I think the colors, composition, lines, patterns and the setting of this place makes a strong, impactful picture.
This image was also awarded the PSA Gold Medal for the Best Photo Travel Picture of the 53rd Circle of Confusion International Salon, California, USA in 1990. The same image was also published in the “Photography Year Book, 1995”, UK.
One of the images that I captured during an outing with the Singapore Queenstown Camera Club in Chiangmai, Thailand in 1977, became a prize winning image. The image was awarded the PSA Gold Medal for the Best Slide of the Show of the 33rd Chicago International Salon, USA, 1980. This was also one of the 4 transparencies that won the best set Grand Prix of the 14th Algarve Photo Salon, Italy in 1988. The only colour added here is the green hue of the sandy area in the foreground. This was done using diazo film to achieve the final bias relief effect.
