23 - 25 Oct | Pulau Ketam: A street photography exploratory session with Ian Teh

Join National Geographic Explorer and documentary photographer Ian Teh for a three-day immersive journey through the unique fishing village of Pulau Ketam. Designed for photographers seeking to deepen their visual awareness, this workshop explores the art of observation, timing, and storytelling beyond technical mastery. Working alongside Ian in the field, participants will learn to recognise meaningful moments, build compelling narratives, and respond intuitively to the ever-changing life of the streets. An invitation to slow down, look closer, and create photographs with lasting meaning.
