The month of May 2025 has started, not is only a new month, a new era is starting soon for Singapore. What lies ahead for the rest of 2025 still remains to be seen, given the world and economic uncertainties arising from the trade wars and slowing world economy. As for photography business, the challenges ahead might be quite a handful to navigate through. On the other hand, for my personal and leisure photography segments, I am focusing and working on the following photography / visual storytelling / content creation themes and genres for May 2025.
Photography Competitions
(A) Shores to Strength, Celebrating 60 Years of Coastal Protection & Resilience – National Photography Competition by Singapore Water Association.

(B) Mad About Singapore 2025 – “Maritime Singapore” by InstaSG

Two photography competitions for me to work on, they would help me plan my personal photography shoots, adding more works for curation of my SG60 personal project. Both competitions have nice prizes to be won too, that would be a real bonus for me!
Personal Visual Storytelling / Photography / Content Creation
(C) SG60 Celebrations – Singapore’s 60th birthday
Year 2025 is Singapore’s 60th (SG60) birthday. How would I be planning to commemorate my own personal SG60 celebrations, how would I interpret SG60 celebrations through my visual stories and photographs? What kind of different approaches and photographs of Singapore can I tell the Singapore 60th birthday story?
Currently, I am considering photography zine format for my SG60 personal visual storytelling project (less formal and smaller in size versus a full-fledged photo book). Things/plans might change along the way, as I continue to photograph, compile and curate my visual stories of Singapore over the decades.
(D) World Migratory Bird Day 2025
World Migratory Bird Day 2025 falls on 10th May 2025 and 11th November 2025. The 2025 theme is Creating Bird-Friendly Cities & Communities. I would be sharing more on my bird photography adventures and updates around October 2024 to March 2025.
