Another new year has begun, it’s now year 2025. Starting off this new year on with my regular workflow of preparations, planning, reflections and review of Year 2024 that took place in December 2024 prior to planning, strategising and writing down my Yearly Theme 2025 (Photography | Travel | Creative | Heritage) at the start of the year 2025.
The time is now for me to share my Yearly Theme 2025 (Photography | Travel | Creative | Heritage), that would set the foundations and directions for my TGH Photography and Travel portal/blog for this year 2025.
Why use a Yearly Theme? How to Choose a Yearly Theme?
I am inspired by Fernando Gros “How to choose a Yearly Theme”, this is my 6th year writing and announcing a Yearly Theme (since 2020), an approach that I personally feel that it’s more forward looking for a new future, a new era of working, thinking and how we connect as an individual, as a collective, society and the world. It’s not that goal settings or setting resolutions are no longer popular or useful, they still have a purpose and it still works for some people or industries.
Recap of previous Yearly Themes
Before I announce my Yearly Theme 2023 for my photography, travel, creative and heritage, let me bring you back in time, looking at my previous Yearly Themes through a recap below:

Yearly Theme 2025 (Photography | Travel | Creative | Heritage) – “Create”
Now, announcing my Yearly Theme 2024 (Photography | Travel | Creative | Heritage) – “Create”.
Why “Create”?
This is a year that resonates with me on creating, developing and generating more heart warming visual stories and content creation, where new creative and unique opportunities arising in year 2025.
Content Creation
An area that I have diversified into a few years back, learning and growing this sector over the years, and going to expand more into content creation in year 2025. This would also complement my photography business, as well as my social media/digital marketing side of things.
Create SG60 special theme project
Year 2025 is Singapore’s 60th birthday, there are many events marking this SG60 milestone throughout the whole year. I am planning to create my very own SG60 special them project using my visual storytelling voice, putting them together into a zine or photo book, and producing photography prints.
Create with everything is ephemere
I have previously updated in 2024 that I have come onboard everything is ephemere photography platform as a writer/contributor. In 2025, I am working and planning to do more with everything is ephemere platform, learning, connecting and interacting with fellow photographers, visual storytellers and creatives from around the world.
Create more heart-warming visual stories in arts, heritage and culture
Knowing, meeting and interacting with fellow creatives from other genres, I also learned a lot from them through their inspirations, creative and artistic works. I feel that there are good opportunities for cross/interdisciplinary content creation, collaborations and possible special projects, giving rise to more heart-warming visual stories in arts, heritage and culture.
Yearly Theme 2025 (Technology | Business | Personal) – “Think”
As for my other key area of focus, my TGH Technology and Business portal/blog, I have chosen my Yearly Theme 2025 (Technology | Business | Personal) to be “Think”. I would like to invite you to hop over to my other website and have a read!
Join me in my “Create” + “Think” journeys in 2025
To my networks in the photography, travel, creative and heritage sectors, I would like to invite you to join me in my “Create” journeys in 2025, let’s work closer together for more in-depth, meaningful and powerful stories, on both visual storytelling and social media.
My 2025 yearly themes of “Think” + “Create do sound like a nice combination, after going through some intense and in-depth searching, reflecting and planning. I wasn’t planning to put both themes together in such a manner, I was initially working on a specific theme each for my key two sectors.
Time to kickstart “Think” + “Create” 2025!
