The world through jimmy’s lens:

perception of wanderlust

A piece of peace.

A chance encounter with a monk undergoing his daily morning ritual, spinning the prayer wheels around the perimeter of a monastery. This monastery is located at the basecamp of Mount Everest.

Symphony of colours

The endless rows of tents at the Rod Fai Market Ratchada in Bangkok is a shopper’s paradise. Captured from a multi-storey carpark vantage point, the vibrant colours emanating from the tents matches the vibrant atmosphere of the market.

Focus

The headlights of cars stuck in a massive Bangkok traffic jam, provided a great backdrop to highlight the motion of the BTS Skytrain.

Shanghai Night

The Shanghai City Skyline in its full glory. A massive light show brightens up the sky during the 70th-anniversary celebrations of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Dense Hong Kong

The densely packed buildings of Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong. This drone shot is a great illustration of one of the most densely populated places in the world.

Perfect morning stroll

A few hours wait for the sunset at Gardens by the Bay proved worthwhile. This priceless shot captured the sun between the Supertrees, as a visitor walked on the bridge.

Kabukichō, Tokyo

The streets of Tokyo throng with crowds as the heavy rain started to subside. One of the busiest alleys in Kabukichō, Tokyo, is the perfect backdrop of a metropolis - neon signs hang everywhere.

Caged

The residential buildings in Macau have a unique feature that gives the buildings a vintage look. The kitchens of each apartment have an overhanging cage-like balcony. Doesn’t this remind you of birdcages?

In a rush

A taxi buzzing through the busy streets of Tokyo. The surreal background was produced using a photographer’s secret weapon – the panning effect.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Jimmy started his journey in photography back in 2017, with his very first professional DSLR camera, the Canon 750D. Back his main goal was to capture beautiful sceneries and landscapes as a hobby. Today, it has evolved into something more than just a hobby.

As he began embarking on more travels, his interest in photography grew, upon the realisation that there is so much to learn and understand about people and cultures around the world. Every facial expression and emotion captured tells many stories.

In 2019, two years after his journey in photography, he was given sponsorship by Canon Singapore. This partnership opened him up to more opportunities with the launch of his first talk on street photography, attracting an audience of 200 people. He has since worked with other companies including Adobe, K11 Musea and Toys ‘R’ Us Singapore.

Jimmy aspires to make the transition in becoming a full-time travelling photographer. He hopes to spread the joy of photography, and contribute to photojournalism publications such as National Geographic in the near future.
