Join fine art photographer and master printmaker Chris Yap in this interactive session, where participants will learn to capture the intrinsic beauty of nature that transcends technical skills, while tapping on a more profound and emotive understanding of visual storytelling.
The session will begin with Chris sharing tips and techniques such as lighting, texture, composition and capturing emotions, before delving into discussions of selected images and dialogue with participants.
Participants are required to have prior knowledge of and experience working with photography, and should be comfortable discussing their work in a critique session format. Prior to the session, participants are to submit a selection body of their past works consisting of 5 to 8 colour/monochrome nature images for the discussion. Submit your works here. The museum will reach out to registered participants with further information on the submission of images.

About the instructor
Chris Yap is an artist whose sensitive approach to creation is often silently evocative. As a fine art photographer he belongs to a rare breed of imagemakers blending critical thinking with technical mastery, narrating his stories by exploring the numerous genres of photography to push the boundaries of an image’s expressive capacities. As such, his photographic creations never fail to convey a sense of tactility and drama. He occasionally also dabbles in commercial and editorial photography. Besides photography, he has created bodies of work in sculpture, theatre, paintings and even fashion, art, and music.
Chris has exhibited internationally and locally, at institutions including Musee Du Quai Branly, Baba House, NUS Museum as well as installations at Sculpture Square. As an educator, he has taught photography widely. Since 2005, he has been a Master Printmaker endorsed by Epson, Asia Pacific.
