5. Do you have any advice for future participants in photography competitions?

Long Yik: “The significance of photography competitions is not about the rank and prizes. It is merely a
catalyst for you to enjoy the process of photography, and to vivify your interests.”

Kai Soon: “I think that even if photography may not be your strong suit, the most crucial thing is to dare to
put yourself out there and display your work to the public. Who knows, you may end up achieving something
astonishing.”

Tiffany Tan: “Just follow your instincts— as long as you are pleased with the shots, everything will work out
fine!”

Ian Jo: “Taking pictures does not necessarily require the best equipment. As long as you practice every day,
explore different settings, and analyze other pictures by other photographers to see what is attractive, you can
get started in no time.”

Jun Hao: “My advice is that you shouldn’t be afraid of doing something that others deem unorthodox, such
as photographing someone washing their hands. It is also advised that one familiarises themselves with
their camera’s functionalities and quirks as it could be the difference between a perfectly shot photograph as
opposed to an overexposed one. Photo editing too is an important skill as it further enhances the quality and
potential of your work, you’d be surprised by how minor adjustments can affect a photo.”

Yu Rui: “Just follow your heart.”

Thus ends our interview with the top winners. We would like to sincerely thank them for granting us a deeper
insight into their outstanding works, which undoubtedly inspire and remind us of all that makes Kuen Cheng
High School distinctive and special to each of us in our memories and hearts. A hearty congratulations to

journeys of photography!
