Shooting Thematically Workshop by Chow Chee Yong


Focusing on the widely growing concept of thematic photography, this workshop by veteran photographer Chow Chee Yong will aid photographers in understanding how a group of photographs can be used to emphasize a particular topic or concept. Topics covered in the workshop will aid photographers in undertaking a thematic project in the future, like understanding the thought process, how to think along the same line for an extended period of time, moulding your image-making skills, and what kind of subject matter to look out for in order to hold the attention of a viewer.

Venue: Singapore Management University, School of Economics/School of Social Sciences, 90 Stamford Road (Seminar Room 5-1, Level 5)

Participant Requirements: Participants should have been using photography as a medium for several years, and have gone beyond the basic questioning of shutter speed, aperture or the like.
