The Pathfinder https://journals.worldnomads.com/shanechong/ Mon, 20 Apr 2026 08:30:53 GMT World Nomads Adventures My name is Shane Chong and I am from Singapore. I am drawn to photography by its amazing ability to reveal the unexpected and it has been my desire to document these micro-moments. I was exposed to photography at a very young age, used to play with my father’s camera in the 90s and my mum worked at Rollei back then which ignited curiosity in my mind through multiple senses. I recalled the first time taking a picture of my parents, now looking back at the photo I realised how everything ages and only memories stay. When I received my first camera, I discovered another avenue to express myself. That was the moment where I learnt to take the time to observe and appreciate many things in life. My dance experiences in my polytechnic days, gave me a new visual angle to explore between movements and emotions. In the quest of pursuing the beauty in life, I have learnt to let my inquisitive self take over, and that have made me try out all sorts of people photography. Currently, I’m under-going a personal project on capturing the lifestyles of people in other countries. I hope to be able to able to make full use of this opportunity to travel and document another story, another perspective and experience something fresh. https://journals.worldnomads.com/shanechong/photos/41760/Hong-Kong/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel Hong Kong shanechong https://journals.worldnomads.com/shanechong/photos/41760/Hong-Kong/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/shanechong/photos/41760/Hong-Kong/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Mon, 24 Jun 2013 02:12:00 GMT 0
