About the event
About the Event
Street photography took its first steps in as early as the mid 19th Century and has continued to evolve into different sub forms focusing on different subjects, styles and philosophies. Word on the Street explores the versatility street photography offers for the novice, all the way to those who have been practicing it and how the streets in Singapore can offer different perspectives and experiences through the lens of different photographers.
