Biography

Vincent is a published photographer and a photography educator. He also curates the gallery space at the Selegie Arts Centre in Singapore.

Vincent was awarded a scholarship to complete an advance research degree in photography with the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.
Vincent is a visual artist using photography as his main instrument of expression. As an artist, Vincent endeavours to produce work that enables his audience to immerse themselves into his world and engage viewers at a deeper level, both conceptually and emotionally. He aims to achieve a state where the photograph shares a synchronous relationship between the photographer, the subject, the subject’s environment and the viewer.
