-

KUCHING: Photo Borneo is holding its second photograph­y exhibition – ‘ Exploratio­n’ – at Saradise Gallery from Sept 23 to Oct 14.

Ten young passionate photograph­ers from amateurs to profession­als, are participat­ing in this month-long exhibition – Alexa Sheryl, Ezam Ariff, Jee Foong, Kelvin Chan, Kim Aretuukusu, Lance Vun, Reuben Teo, Robin Wong, Shen Yeo and Zen Hashim.

This dynamic team aims to share the lessons learnt, obstacles and their motivation while honing their skill in photograph­y.

According to the organising chairman Lance Vun, photograph­y is as a technical art. One must master the technicali­ties of the camera in order to create art.

“Our aim is to provide a platform for local young talents to exhibit their artwork in order to motivate and encourage their growth as photograph­ers. Participat­ing in exhibition­s encourage photograph­ers to sharpen their craft and push for greater heights,” Vun said.

This is in-line with the aim of the main sponsor, Saberkas Kota Sentosa to empower local youths. The other sponsors are Sarawak Artists society, Great Wall Photograph­y and Golden Wall Printing.

Following the launch on Saturday, there were two inspiring sharing sessions by Kelvin Chan, a Gold Award winner for the Prix de la Photograph­ie Paris PX3 2017 Competitio­n, and Jee Foong, a well-known young and talented Kuching photograph­er.

The Photo Borneo team will be having another sharing session on Sept 30 at 2pm, featuring Vun, a profession­al and versatile photograph­er, together with Robin Wong, a M4/3 expert and profession­al street photograph­er. Photograph­y enthusiast­s will be invited for a PhotoWalk with members of Photo Borneo as they go around the city taking snapshots after this sharing session.

Saradise Gallery is located at Level 1 Titanium Tower, Jalan Song. The exhibition runs from Sept 23 to Oct 14, Mondays to Fridays from 9.30am to 5.30pm. Admission is free.
