My father lives in Singapore and I tend to visit him several times a year. Whenever I'm visiting I add to my ongoing project. The images are a series of street portraits, developing upon the culture within Singapore.
The project really began by accident. As a portrait photographer I've always been fascinated with people. What we are thinking, how we look, what we wear, how we act and so on... When I travel to new location I never find myself photographing landmarks, buildings or anything iconic, I seem to always photograph the people. I feel they tend to give a much better overview of the place rather than the setting. Everyone shoots those types of images, so I like to something a little different.
The following three images are an example of the work...
I don't worry about equipment, lenses or any aspects my work usual carries. My number one aim is always to pick out particular people i find interesting and photograph them. I set out with my camera and one lens to find something new. Some people have no idea they are being shot, others see my camera pointing directly at the and look directly down the lens. Either way I find the images fascinating and will never stop adding to the project...
