Kai Wen graduated from the Ngee Ann Polytechnic School of Film and Media Studies with his Diploma in Mass Communications in March 2009.
Majoring in Print Journalism, Photojournalism and Documentary Production, he has produced contemporary works of recognition.
He came up with the photo exhibition titled "The Demon in the Water" in November 2008 at Vivocity, Singapore's largest shopping mall. This exhibition garnered $15,000 worth of sponsorship.
The documentary "One Room Flat" that he produced in 2008 also won the best documentary award in Ngee Ann Polytechnic and was screened at the Singapore International Film Awards.
Kai Wen was the first Chief Photo Editor at m:idea, the media conglomerate at the School of Film and Media Studies. He managed a team of photographers for all campus publications, and his photographic works regularly appear on Lianhe Zaobao, ZBcomma, Thumbs Up, and Omy.sg.
Now awaiting his National Service, he freelances as a photographer.
Photography to him is not just a hobby, but also a tool to interact with others – to understand human nature and record the best of each individual.
Freezing moments of time, photography helps to capture snippets of the world around him, and he hopes to share these with others to show them a different perspective of life.
From shooting nature to abstract photography, Kai Wen has since gone on to record not just events, but instead the lives of individuals to tell stories through his photographs and documentaries.

Dear Clubsnappers
I'm pleased to offer my services in the following genres of photography:
- Portraiture
- Events
- Weddings
- Documentary (The Human Condition)
Work Experience
Aug 2008 to Feb 2009
Photo Editor for npTribune, Hype magazine and The Urbanwire.com, all published by the Ngee Ann Polytechnics School of Film and Media Studies.
Managed a team of photographers to deliver high-quality and dynamic pictures on a daily basis for three publications.
Feb 2006 to Present
Student Correspondent / Photographer with Lianhe Zaobao
Singapore Press Holdings Chinese Newspaper Division
Delivers news photographs to Lianhe Zaobaos Popcorn section, ZBComma, and also does articles for Omy.sg
Feb 2006 to Present
Freelance Photographer
Manages assignments such as weddings, portraits and corporate photography. Also organises photography workshops for secondary schools.
Notable Achievements
Produced The Demon in the Water Photography Exhibition in November 2008
Staged at Vivo City in November 2008 at a fully sponsored cost of $15,000, it was a showcase of the exceptional photographs taken by Ngee Ann Polytechnic students while on a journalism study trip to Cambodia. It helped to raise awareness on how Cambodians struggle to live with water polluted by arsenic and other toxins.
Makes use of strobist lighting technique
Testimonies
I've realised that he is a person with an incredulously dedicated and passionate work ethic, focused on completing whatever task that he is entrusted with on hand. He is, by very large means, in an entirely different league of teenage photographers out there, not only because of experience and expertise, but rather because his consistent passion for his craft and a very refreshingly earnest yearning to do better. Teens like Kai Wen are hard to find nowadays and I'm intensely honoured to know a photographer like him. Besides this, I also notice that he is a person that exudes, however subtly, a humble disposition in more ways than one. His charming (although at times corny) and affable personality make him a very warm person and a sociable personality. - Chris Lim Mu Yao, Photographer
Working with Kai Wen was initially nervous for me because I did not know him well. However he was so friendly and I found myself talking to him comfortably despite my hearing impairment. Although it was a short period knowing him, his cheerful personality and fantastic photographic skills allowed me to warm up to him. His photographic skills is definitely something I would want to learn from him in the future. I would be pleased to inform you that you will have a fun and enjoyable working experience with him whether on a short or long term basis. - Ginny Ong, npTribune Interviewee
The photo-editor has been very easy to work with. He's highly talented and is able to suss out good photographs of journalistic quality. If there are any improvements to me made, he should work on being more assertive and "chase" people when they do not meet deadlines. However, this only goes to show what a pleasant person he really is - some from whom we can all aspire to learn.
- Sujith, npTribune Reporter / Straits Times Intern
It was pleasant working with Kai Wen. The way he approached me and my friends was in
such a way that one does not feel any pressure and is thus able to express thoughts better. - Benjamin Chia, TheUrbanwire.com Interviewee
Kai Wen has done fantastically in his job. Not only because he had to deal with all our last minute requests for photos but also the time consuming nature of the job meant he had to constantly be with us. He is at any rate a first-class photographer who I know will make it far one day. Thank you Kai Wen.
