Speaker: Geoff Ang
Website: http://www.geoffang.com

Geoff Ang has been creating beautiful, thought-provoking and edgy pictures for almost 10 years. A self-taught lensman, this 36-year-old started shooting at his dad’s production studio at the tender age of 16. In 1997, he set up GEOFFSTUDIO, doing still-life photography. In 2001, he started specializing in fashion photography.

Today, he is one of the most in-demand advertising/fashion photographers in both the local and international arena.
His photos show his acute sense and feel of style and technique, evident in his sophisticated use of lighting. He is also known for his creative eye and proficiency in digital imaging. Accolades for him include the inaugural Singapore Fashion Awards where he won the Fashion Photographer of the Year award after only eight months in the fashion business as well as advertising awards in the Clio, NY Festivals, The One Show, Indonesian Advertising Awards and the London International Advertising Awards.

At shoots, he is a pleasure to work with - unassuming and easy-going, his relaxed demeanor actually conceals the fervent creative energy that he injects into all his shoots. Constantly looking to challenge himself, his relentless pursuit for visual creativity has also led him to direct TV commercials as a TVC Director.

Formally trained in Finearts through the Art Elective Programme, majoring in Theatre Studies at the National University of Singapore, Triston has always been attracted to the creative realm. Distilling years of experience in traditional and performing arts, Triston has since chosen photography as his vehicle to push the boundaries of art.

As a commercial photographer, Triston has worked on a wide range of projects for various MNCs, statutory boards and educational institutions such as Pontiac Land, Bank Julius Baer, Credit Suisse, Thailand Tourism Board and Laos Tourism Board.

Besides fineart photography, Triston strongly believes in the power of photography as a medium to raise awareness of key issues in different countries around the world. His passion has seen him travel to the refugee camps between the Thai and Burmese borders, teaching photography to the young adults and youths, while chronicling their stories through his lenses. With his compelling photos, Triston reaches out across borders to raise awareness of the plight faced by these refugees.

Being acknowledged as one of Asian Geographic’s Best Photographer of the Decade, educating budding photographers is another of Triston’s personal missions. Through photography seminars and photoclinics, Triston aims to share the knowledge he has accumulated over the years.
