“Unexpected point of view” was a special theme for the June’s 2023 club meeting with new Guest Judge – Simon Wan, who is very talented documentary photographer, his work has been acquired by many local and international private collectors and institutes.

He is also Founder of platform for photography “The Photocrafters”

The night went “unexpectedly” well with lots of great critique! 

Dear Simon, Thank you for your time and knowledge that you have shared with the club!

And here are some tips from Simon Wan to improve your photo skills : 

1. Pay more attention on the composition especially at the edge of the frame
2. Hang around for longer , try out different things and keep pushing your limit 
3. Challenge yourself with just taking one fixed Focal length lens with you
4. If possible try to use a film camera and shot the thing you did before with a digital camera, it’s a good training because you only see the result after the shot is over

And a big thanks for our venue Cultural Club Gallery for continues support!
