Singapore photography dialogue explores storytelling approaches across street, documentary and photojournalism practices

In conjunction with the Public Spaces, Private Gazes: Streets of Singapore Photo Exhibition, this dialogue session brings together professional photographers to explore the nuances between street photography, documentary work, and photojournalism.

Organised by the The Photographic Society of Singapore in partnership with FUJIFILM Asia Pacific and the Singapore Press Club, the session will offer insights into different photographic approaches and the techniques behind compelling visual storytelling.

As the saying goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words.”

The session forms part of the Public Spaces, Private Gazes: Streets of Singapore exhibition, held from 27 March to 12 April 2026. The exhibition examines everyday moments within Singapore’s public spaces, highlighting themes of movement, connection, and daily life.
