Ian Jo: “I pass by this tree every day. One day, I found this tree to be very charming. I admired it for a few
minutes. It was very tall. We don’t know how many students it has witnessed going to and from school, yet
how much strong wind and rain it has been through. I felt that I was similar to this tree, no matter how many
ups and downs I’ve been through, I still move forward. I think that photography can capture moments and
convey emotions as well as feelings. ”

Jun Hao: “I intended to photograph something that was striking yet simple. I am of the belief that one should
always ensure that their pictures are crisp and uncluttered as it is more appealing to the eye.”

Yu Rui: “No one is in a supporting role. After the storm comes a calm.”

4. What obstacles have you encountered while participating in this competition? And how would you
describe the overall experience?

Long Yik: “I didn’t really face any issue. If I were to say, it would probably be the colour correction, because I
fine-tuned it many times but couldn’t get it right, so I was quite perplexed. I also struggled to decide on which
photo to submit.”

Kai Soon: “For me, the results of this competition were entirely unexpected— I had absolutely no idea that I
would end up as one of the winners. Still, although I’m no professional photographer, I’m really glad that the
picture I took got to be exhibited to a wider range of viewers. I would also like to express my gratitude to the
school for granting all “KCians” such a priceless opportunity.”

Tiffany Tan: “I didn’t really face any difficulties. Overall, I think that this competition has been really effective
in allowing students from Kuen Cheng High School to discover the many beautiful facets of the school
compound which they might have been hitherto oblivious to.”

Ian Jo: “I didn’t encounter any problems as it was just a casual shot. Initially, I entered the competition with
the mentality to gain experience.”

Jun Hao: “It was mostly a lack of direction at first as the scope of the competition encompasses various
aspects of school life, thus bringing with it various types of photography. It was an excellent opportunity for
me to express my interests as the scope of the competition provided me with tons of creative liberty.”

Yu Rui: “Since I only found out about this competition on the last day, I didn’t have time to take photos. I
could only participate with my own casually taken photos from last year, so it was very limited and rarely
matched the theme.”
