In this final assignment, I used an article from the official Omega Website. I wanted to find an article that featured a product because I am genuinely interested to learn how to shoot products better.
The main approach I took doing this piece of work was to use soft and indirect lighting via strobes. This is because the watch is a shiny metallic surface and direct harsh lighting will look very bad from experience in my test shoot.
I think holding you near the kitchen light wouldn’t be so bad is an exploration of how human intimacy can be visually located in object language.
Through quiet searches of love through object-to-object relations, romantic ‘sculptures’ are identified within everyday spaces and close readings of the inanimate are formed. This work posits how objects, when recontextualised and stripped of their technical functions, could potentially inhabit signs of human likeness, and as a result represent a radical, liberated model of love in how they relate to one another.
By incorporating Singapore’s varied landscapes—Urban, Residential, Industrial, and Natural—this project revolutionizes automotive photography. Departing from conventional approaches, it authentically captures the city’s vibrant automotive culture. Each car’s individuality is showcased against the dynamic backdrop of Singapore’s urban and natural scenery, offering a unique glimpse into the intersection of automotive artistry and the rich tapestry of life in the city-state
A still small voice charts the artist’s attempts at finding herself and her own voice, far removed from her family while on exchange at the Royal College of Art in London. Having been silenced for so long due to familial circumstances, she does not know who she is, what she wants to do in life nor how to live. Neither is she cognisant of her hopes and dreams. It documents her attempt at trying to find and regain her agency, and her will to live, after having battled depression and anxiety for close to a quarter of her life; to look beyond her predicament.
A story of hope, the artist uses photography as influenced by her confessional poetry as an impetus and a means for her to hold on to life, to press through and to make sense of the perennial dark haze that engulfs yet, strangely, never fully consumes.
How to Disappear is a photographic exploration that reflects the disappearing queer community in Singapore, a contemplation of how queer individuals navigate their identity in a conservative society. By merging modern image making and traditional photographic processes, How to Disappear takes on the impossible task of capturing a disappearance. This work serves as evidence to the community’s existence, fighting for a more inclusive society that embraces diversity, even if we remain unseen.
