JOHOR BARU: PHOTOGRAPHY enthusiasts should not miss the “100 Photographic Showcase” which will be held at the Southern University College (SUC) here from Sunday to Nov 9.
Photographic Society of Johor (PSJ) president Tang King Huat said 100 photographs will put up for sale at RM200 each, and the full amount will go to the SUC. The exhibition will be held at its Museum and Art Gallery.
“The exhibition will showcase our members’ work from as early as the 1960s to the present day,” Tang said.
“We hope that the exhibition will draw photography enthusiasts and that schools will organise visits to the exhibition, as it will help students learn more about the techniques of photography.
“A black and white photograph can bring more contrast to a shot as it is not distorted by colours. It is like listening to the music of a song minus the lyrics.
“Just enjoy the musical notes. That is what a black and white photograph evokes in some of us,” Tang said.
“The same photograph with colours stir a different mood and tells a different story,” he added.
Tang also said that the event was one of the highlights of PSJ’s 50th anniversary celebrations.
Tebrau Member of Parliament Khoo Soo Seang is expected to launch the event on Sunday at 11am.
There will also be a sharing session where three well-known photographers Foo Tee Jun, Teo Yong Kang and Wong Beow Leong, all from Singapore, will share their experiences as well as tips on how to get the winning shot in a photography contest.
PSJ has also prepared a set of postcards featuring all the photographs on exhibition, as a gift for guests during its opening on a whilst stocks last basis.
The exhibition will be held daily from 9am to 5pm. Admission is free. PSJ, which was formed in 1964, has more than 200 members today.
