Event Photography

In recent years, I have documented some significant and historical moments in Singapore. Since 2023, I have photographed the National Day Parade annually, covering the Nation’s 60th Birthday Celebrations in 2025. As someone with a keen interest in current affairs, I also photographed rallies in the leadup to the 2025 Singapore General Elections. I take great pride not just in helping to create a permanent record of these extraordinary moments, but also in retelling stories in ways that give my subjects the recognition and representation they deserve. I am honoured that my photography has been recognised and utilised by the organisations for which I have photographed. My photography at the NDP has been featured in advertising material, the parade show guide, official social media content, and through mainstream media avenues.

National Day Parade 2025

NDP2025 was an extraordinary celebration of Singapore’s 60th birthday. It was an NDP that stood out in terms of its extensive scope and quality, in particular, the show segment featured an expanded ‘canvas’ that involved large-scale building projects and floating displays in Marina Bay. It was a truly exciting event where there was always something novel worth capturing at every turn. It was also during NDP2025 that I had an exclusive opportunity to photograph the Presidential 21-gun Salute from aboard the gun platform, affording me some of my most incredible and treasured images.

National Day Parade 2024

NDP2024 featured one of the biggest defense demonstrations in the parade’s history to date. The defense segment featured an extensive mobile column as well as elaborate simulations focusing on non-conventional security scenarios such as terrorist attacks and a building collapse. For the parade segments, contingents also marched into the seating gallery for the first time, giving close-up views of the participants and allowing for interesting photos of audience reactions and interactions with the participants.

National Day Parade 2023

NDP2023 was first time photographing NDP from the inside. Previously, my captures of the parade were limited to the demonstrations that extended out of the venue, such as the aircraft flybys and the highly anticipated fireworks display each week. Becoming involved as an official photographer added a whole new dimension to the experience, as I was able to photograph the many performances that happen exclusively within the venue. It was also new for me to incorporate a more human element into my images, by engaging and photographing the audience members and NDP participants.

Singapore General Election 2025

In the leadup to the Singapore General Elections in May 2025, I was invited to photograph the Workers’ Party rallies as a volunteer for the party. I took this unique opportunity to get a glimpse of the preparation that happens behind the scenes of these high-profile events, while soaking in and capturing the electric atmosphere and political energy that is rarely seen in Singapore.
