Rolento Ong: Professional Photographer & Filmographer who shoots many projects in Singapore and China using many mediums to illustrate and highlight the themes of his work.
Tham Li: Professional Photographer/Journalist who travels around the world taking photos of people in developing countries and is the offical photographer for international street artists when they come to China.
3rd Place - Charles Rattray
Amey says: "It very well captures the nature of the space really well - rain, colorful shop logos, people having a drink and light at the end of the road."
Tham says: "The photo perfectly captures the times when Yongkang Lu had its rainy moments but it never dampened the spirit of the people there."
2nd Place - Photoyography
Amey says: "It tells a good story. A girl in the background having a drink. People in the midground doing yoga with a guy on a scooter negotiating his way through. And finally a can of Coca-Cola in the foreground. This photo connects the observer, the drink and diverse activities that occur on Yongkang Lu."
Tham says: "This photo evokes what Yongkang Lu was also about other than drinking or eating. It was a place where there were plenty of community events that people enjoyed together who were from different cultures or places."
1st Place - Ryan O'Hara
Rolento says: "This photo expresses the fun spirit of people going to YKL and what the spirit of the street was about, people having fun."
Tham says: "This photo also expresses that fun nature and also how people just adapted to their environments there, no matter time of the day you felt the energy there."
Amey says: "It captures the emotion of the street very well, friends just having fun on Yongkang Lu. But maybe a glass of drink is missing."
