THE ART OF SEEING – PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION

“The Art of Seeing” is a photography exhibition organised by the students of the Diploma in Graphic Design programme at the White Canvas Gallery on 6 September 2024. Developed as part of their Photography module under the guidance of Ms. Thanaletchumy Shanmugam and Mr. Ahmad Zulkarnain bin Hj Abd Ghaffar, the exhibition highlights the students’ creative exploration across three categories: indoor portraiture, street photography journalism, and product photography.

In Indoor Portraiture, students explored themes like “sour, sweet, hot, or spicy,” using props and lighting to convey emotions. Street Photography Journalism challenged them to capture candid moments of strangers, employing various techniques for discreet shots. In Product Photography, students crafted compositions that enhanced product appeal, using creative props and backgrounds.

A judging process awarded Ang Hui Zhi the Best Photo Award for Indoor Portraiture, Tan Ren Jie for Street Photography Journalism, and Sam Jia Xin for Product Photography. The exhibition showcased the students’ skills and creativity in visual storytelling.
