Travel Photography Through The Eyes of Zuiko by Kim Lau
Proudly sponsored by Olympus, Clubsnap presents Kim Lau. Kim has been travelling from 2005 to 2011 traversing East to West Asia in capturing beautiful moments. The compilation estimates to about 10% of the master plan, hence the name of the talk. Kim will share travelling experiences and stories from "Faces of Pakistan", "Colours of Tibet", "Central Asia - From Pastoral to Majestic", "The Levant I - Syria and Jordan", "Pagoda Festival Inle Lake" and "Meeting Iran".
Kim has traveled extensively in Asia, America and Europe. His first photographic exposure was in 2004 when he embarked on an extended journey in Asia encompassing China, Tibet, India, Pakistan and Xinjiang. He subsequently held an exhibition One Round In Asia in Singapore, sponsored by Olympus Imaging Singapore. Trained as an audio/music system & DSP engineer, Kim currently lectures at Ngee Ann Polytechnic in Singapore, at the faculty of Electrical Engineering/Audio Visual Technology, on audio and photography. Kim has profound interest in the cultures of the world, and he aspires to pursue culturally triggered travels with photography, music and video authoring.

Independent Photography in Southeast Asia since 1980 by Zhuang Wubin
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 regionsomething 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.
