A Pose by Siew Bee Lim

It was in May of 2018. I was roaming about in town near Padang. There were quite a number of coaches parked along the road. Just beside the bus stop, some visitors were busy taking snap shots. This small girl was posing upon her family’s request. I was attracted by her smile and posture, and joined in to take a moment with my camera.

Photographer: Siew Bee Lim (Singapore) Registered
Born in 1965 in Singapore, photography was one of the old hobbies of Siew Bee Lim. Now she would like to learn it formally via Light & Composition platform as she believes it’s not too late. Since primary school she is not good in drawing; she doesn’t have artistic hand that some of her classmates have. Nonetheless, she likes reading since young, and would try to appreciate Chinese paintings. Few years after she started working as a Programmer, she took up photography as a hobby. She attended a short course which included a session in the darkroom. In those days, good photographs were dependent on good darkroom skills. It was unlikely that she spent much time in the darkroom. Hence the hobby didn’t last long then. She believes that the present learning experience has a longer way to go.
