ABOUT
Ong Chan Hao is a architecturally-trained photographer & designer based in Singapore, but open to work globally.
Specialising in architecture, interiors and designed products, he uses photography as a tool to communicate design intent, and to nudge the boundaries of the conventions of commercial photography. He is especially interested in and sensitive to the expression of energy, climate, and authorship.
Chan's personal work utilises photography both as a visual research and imaginative medium. While he seeks to document and cement his landscapes in time, he simultaneously forges new interpretations of landscape, presenting a state of instability and flux.
Prints & commissions available upon inquiry.
