Red Hat


This is a montage of three films. A piece of high contrast ortho-film for the image of the frame, a orange diazochrome film and the original image of the worker, all mounted on top of each other to create this contemporary effect. This creation won the Best Contemporary Gold Medal of the 18th Wichita International Salon, USA, held in 1975.

The Painter


This was one of the images that I captured during my outing to the Jurong Shipyard in the 70’s. Lighting and colour played important roles in this image. The worker’s action captured precisely at the peak of the moment gives the image its greatest impact. This is one of the medal winners of the 26th Minneapolis St Paul International Salon, USA, held in 1974. This is one of the National Gallery, Singapore, Permanent Collections.
