Ship Painter

This is one of my colour derivation slides that I converted into a colour print and which won me the best colour print (FIAP Gold Medal) at the 22nd Singapore International Salon (SIP) in 1971. In addition, this was also judged as the best local entry (Dato Aw Cheng Chye Gold Trophy Award) and was also selected for the Pewter Tray Award of the SIP. Some of you may get the impression that this was a set-up picture. Actually, this was one of many images of man at work that I captured during the Colour Group of the Photographic Society of Singapore regular Sunday outings. For this picture, it was taken during an outing to the Jurong Shipyard. The only colour that I added here was the shirt of the painter.
