Photographer. Danny Santos II

"I’m a weekend photographer, and I’ve been taking photos of strangers in Orchard Road for about 2 years now. I’ve been trying to create an overall image of the beauty and energy of Orchard Road through the different characters and scenarios found in this busy street of Singapore … and, more importantly, have fun in the process.

By trade a graphic designer, I've been working in the creatives industry for over 10 years".

Digital Imaging. Adrian Koh

"Born in the early 80’s, where U2 made the critics sit up and take notice with Boy (1980) and October (1981). Punk rock and the New Romanticism were about to transmogrify into a New Pop tsunami ready to strike a year later. Blondie was the trailblazer, with The Tide Is High and Rapture breaking into the top ten. I grew up with Radiohead and Greenday buzzing and sonic-waving through my teenage hood. I love music and because of album covers I ventured into design and eventually got my 1st touch on a Nikon FM2. Since then I started creating stills and visuals for others and myself.

Formerly schooled from the Malaysian Institutes of Arts, I believe that simplicity is the best policy. Lest you interpret that to mean boring, rest assured my self-professed nature is all about bringing life to my usually inanimate subject matter. Ever since graduated with a Diploma in Photography, life has never been the same. Like what Paul Arden has teaches me, “Too many people spend too much time trying to perfect something before they actually do it. Instead of waiting for perfection, run with what you’ve got, and fix it as you go.” Oh, and did I mentioned I’m a fan of Rene Magritte too. And I believe deeply in teamwork, community and collaboration. I love music and photography and life! So let’s be friends".

Shot. Soon Tong

"Soon Tong is one of the lead photographers for Calibre Pictures and Ideas, he continues to perfect his craft, experimenting with the surreal, such as capturing sublime images of liquids frozen in a fleeting moment. To him, experimentation leads to art and like a true artist, he is always in search for the next masterpiece.

After 9 years in the industry, Soon Tong still refuses to be pigeonholed into any genre. The perfectionist in him enjoys the freedom of expressing his ideas and point of view without any boundaries. He particularly enjoys shooting people and liquid, capturing beautiful movement on print. His decade long love affair with cars resulted in many vivid shots of moving metal.

One distinct trait that sets Soon Tong apart from other photographers is his natural eye for colour, tone and composition, which is reflected in his diverse range of work: fashion, still life, advertising, architecture and studio photography.

Soon Tong’s work reflects his inimitable ability to get inside a subject and explore the inner workings to deliver an accurate interpretation of mood, environment and emotive balance. His easy-going manner reveals no hint of ego, yet maintains the quiet confidence of someone who knows he can get the job done, and done well". MORE>>>>>
