Frequently Asked Questions!
1. What is so interesting about PhotograpHI?
The PhotograpHI programme consists of outdoor shoots, sharing sessions and photography lessons. The outdoor shoots let you hone your photography skills as you have fun exploring Singapore with the volunteers. During the sharing sessions, participants and volunteers alike will share their thoughts and feelings on the photographs taken. Students from School of Art, Design and Media (ADM) will also be sharing some photography techniques with you, such as Pinhole Photography. At the end of the programme, there will be an exhibition for you to showcase your photographs.
