c) Title of Talk Independent Photography in Southeast Asia since 1980
d) Synopsis of Talk Since the 1980s, four external factors have given rise to independent photography in Southeast Asia.
Rapid economic growth within the region meant that local photographers have more avenues of finding work. The security of having commercial work or a teaching job has made it easier for some, including Nirmala Dutt Shanmughalingam (b. 1941; Penang) and Ismail Hashim (b. 1940; Penang), to explore photography as a medium of independent expression.
The fall of Marcos in 1986 took the lid off what has always been an energetic community of photographers in the Philippines and signalled the start of the gradual breakdown of the dictatorial structures within the region—something that has always influenced the production of documentary photography around the world. It allowed people like Alex Baluyut (b. 1956; Manila) who used to work underground to emerge and stake their claim on the historiography of Philippine photography.
The Asian Financial Crisis in 1997 and the ensuing Reformasi movements in Malaysia and Indonesia left a mark on local artists and informed the works of Erik Prasetya (b. 1958; Padang), Manit Sriwanichpoom (b. 1961; Bangkok) and Yee I-Lann (b. 1971; Kota Kinabalu).
Last but not least, the widespread proliferation of digital technology in the last decade has lowered the barrier of entry for younger photographers and made it easier for them to communicate their works to editors and curators across the world. This has led to the emergence of artists like Nge Lay (b. 1979; Pyin Oo Lwin, Myanmar), Souliya Phoumivong (b. 1983; Vientiane) and Khvay Samnang (b. 1982; Svay Rieng, Cambodia).
In this brief overview, Zhuang will highlight individuals within Southeast Asia who have seized upon these shifts to produce poignant works about their concerns and the societies where they come from. He will also contextualize and explain why their works stand out from the “typical” photographic productions within their respective countries.

Equipment or the Man Behind the Camera? (Need to refine on the title, put it tentatively as this one)
Much has been talked about why the person behind the camera is the more important as the equipment he/she is using. In this talk, we will look at how and why equipment does matter, and we will be looking at how it can open up more possibilities in the realm of wedding photography.
