“Wonderful workshop that gave us the opportunity to interact with beneficiaries of SPD. It’s a beautiful blend of learning more about documentary style photography, finding different shot angles for greater interest in difficult situations, receiving feedback and tips from an esteemed photographer, and learning to work with other photographers, all in all, a great experience!” ~ Cheryl

“Grateful for the opportunity to build deeper empathy for people with special needs in our community through the “Photography for Good” project supported by Photographic Society of Singapore and charity Organisation SPD. The project has given me the privilege to walk into the homes and lives of people. Besides witnessing and documenting the challenges first hand, I am also inspired by the positivity displayed by the individuals.” ~ Simon Siah

“A perfect opportunity to combine a masterclass on photojournalism with doing good for our community! We were organised into small groups during the practical sessions which enabled to us to gel as a team and capture magical moments without getting into the frames of one another. The guidance by our instructor, Derrick, was given opportunistically during the practical sessions; and photo review sessions were systematic with Derrick offering very specific critique to each participant. Learning together as a community also contributed to the pleasure and fruitfulness of this workshop. Overall, I had a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding time as a participant in this workshop!” ~ Kwek Kon Yew

“Excellent workshop that has taught me to think about the story / theme behind what I’m taking.” ~ Alvin Chan

“Excellent Masterclass by Mindy! Got to actually learn what makes a picture “better” and what it takes for me to capture it. Absolutely would recommend to a friend!” ~ Jay Reddy
