The Scarlet – A Boutique Hotel
I was captured by this unique structure as it stands out in comparison with the building around. It is located in Chinatown, near Maxwell food centre. This building creates a sense of fusion by joining Chinatown old shop house with a classy western style by the design, paints and lighting. At the same time it is hidden in a corner of a busy area, but instead of feeling crowded it generates an aura of serenity, a place where you can feel you can relax at.

Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay
Esplanade have been a good subject to shot for it unique design, but instead on focusing on the “durian” hulls, I want to try something else. I try to take the interior with the light coming in as I find that Esplanade has many areas where the light can hit in. I try to take repeat pattern of triangle as it seems to be iconic for Esplanade.

“This is ME!”
This was taken at my house; the replicate was cause by the 2 mirror panel door. I was trying to play with the lights and the mirror angle. Looking through the camera, show my interest of capturing any moment I attach to. My intention for taking this shot was to show who I am. A person who likes to look at things at different perspective, the many “face” or expression, yet at the same time there is only one person there and that ME.

This was taken at the National Museum of Singapore. There an interactive art piece which engages the audience called “Imprint”. I want to bring out the message that as we go through life, we are imprinting ourselves onto other people life. I want to capture this to express that I am keen to imprint myself in others to be positive, it a more philosophy side of me.
