|
Vincent is a visual artist using photography as his main instrument of expression. As a scholar-artist, Vincent endeavours to produce work that enables his audience to immerse themselves into his world and engage viewers at a deeper level, both conceptually, emotionally and synaesthetically. He aims to achieve a state where the photograph shares a synchronous relationship between the photographer, the subject, the subject’s environment and the viewer. His current work focuses on blending traditional fine art and documentary photography, where he synthesizes conventional documentary approach with fine art elements by means of photo-sculptures. A move he calls “fine art documentary”. Vincent’s works have received international awards and shown at several international festivals. He had previously served as a board member of several arts and cultural organizations including Res Artis, a global artist residency organisation, The Photographic Society of Singapore and as academic editor of International Photography Festivals. Vincent was a recipient of the University Research Scholarship awarded by Nanyang Technological University – School of Art, Design and Media in Singapore, to study photography. He is currently a university lecturer in photography (teaching both theory and practice) and working to publish a book on critical approaches to documentary photography. |
