lthough there are different professional photography associations in the world, I often feel that the BIPP and its member’s enthusiasm for photography are what made me decide to join back in December 2020. I sincerely thank Martin Baynes, his team and all the members for giving me a lot of support and encouragement to receive my Licentiate in May 2021 and now my Associateship in November 2021. All the valuable feedback from judges has helped me tremendously and enhanced my photography skills further. Lastly, I would like to take this opportunity to express a sincere thanks to Bill Wu, who’s supported my career through sharing his photography skill with me.”

“A
professional photographer for over 21 years, I have a varied collection of work with landscapes and people, bringing me to the last decade where I specialise in fine art photography collages. I take the ‘actual’ of a photograph and amalgamate it with other images to become a perceptual and personal image with a story and meaning behind it. Each component is captured by myself - sometimes, it can take years. I create each photograph to be unique; it must only be my work, from people, to sea, to mountains, no filters, my editing. Unlike capturing for a client or what is before you, this concept of photography is about telling my story, the many layers of my life that I have experienced. And through this campaigning for environmental and human rights by exhibiting my work in countries worldwide and using my work to encourage debate and entice people to act. The ‘Soul Elements’.”
