On 15th September 2019, close to 200 photography enthusiasts gathered at Lam Ann Association to attend the Digital Photo Editing Techniques Workshop which featured an outdoor photo shoot as well as an engaging talk by guest speaker Mr. Teo Yong Kang, Vice President of Singapore Colour Photographic Society. This workshop is a prequel to the 2nd “Heartstrings of Singapore” Photography Competition.
The photography enthusiasts were in for a treat as the organisers had specially arranged for models dressed in ancient Chinese costume and a taichi wushu setting for them to practise their photography skills. Along the way, the guest speaker also shared with the participants professional photography techniques in order to achieve different effects.

Besides the outdoor shoot segment, participants benefited a lot from the talk by guest speaker Mr. Teo Yong Kang. In his earlier days as a photographer, Mr. Teo specialised in darkroom colour processing, still photography and model studio shooting. Of late, he has delved into and fallen in love with digital imaging. During the talk, he shared with participants more on his years of photography experience as well as some photo editing software which he has found simple and easy to use.
