I share with you here a study of colours, shapes and forms of architectural design. This is my version of a popular place that is well-captured by local photographers. The light and shadows created by low light condition is essential for the entire image. The simplicity in composition and the saturated blue sky accentuated by the application of a polarizing filter certainly help to enhance the visual impact.
I captured this image at Changi Jetty one fine Sunday morning. On occasion, I perform image manipulation to suit the view that I originally envisaged. The painterly effect was created by applying various filters in the Photoshop software after a lengthy editing session. Creativity has no rules or boundaries. Art can be so controversial sometimes. Ultimately, it is up to you, the artist, to apply your imagination and interpretation.

One of the hobbies that Singaporean enjoys is hearing the birds sing especially during the weekends. The gathering provides good opportunity for photojournalism. This image was captured in 1996 when I was involved with the publication of “Singapore Today”. A similar one was printed in the ST. I like the expressions of the people, and the natural setting of the picture. I think the story content is essential for this kind of picture. Unfortunately due to renovation of the buildings in the backdrop, this group of people does not have the session here anymore. Your critiques and comments are much appreciated.
