Derrick Ong Photography

I had the privilege of leading a special collaboration workshop last July, organized by the Photographic Society of Singapore, Singapore Physically Disabled, and Fujifilm. Over the course of four weeks, our participants delved into both theory and hands-on photography, capturing the unseen stories within the disability community. These powerful documentary photos highlight how SPD has played a crucial role in helping individuals regain their confidence and reintegrate into society.

It has been an honor to share my knowledge and guide the participants through this journey of visual storytelling. Their work will be showcased at PSS from 14 Sep 2024 to 22 Sep 2024. I hope these images not only inspire but also raise awareness about the challenges faced by those less fortunate in our society.

Thank you to all the participants who attended this workshop and created a meaningful set of images.

Last year, with Fujifilm, I did a X-Plore Bangkok Workshop and the response was amazing! This year, we are bringing this X-Plore photography adventure to the charming Dim Sum city Hong Kong for a 3 days workshop. Check it out and See you there!

Shooting the Vogue Man Event with Fujifilm as one of the participating brands is a captivating experience. The night is filled with glamour and elegance, where the ambiance is vibrant and electric. Attendees, a mix of charming, stylish individuals and celebrities, exude sophistication and charisma. The event is a visual feast, offering endless opportunities to capture stunning photographs that blend fashion, personality, and the unique atmosphere of the evening.

My Fujifilm X-T5 excels in low-light conditions, producing vibrant colors and high-quality files. This helps me capture images just as I visualized them, reflecting the event's elegance and charm perfectly.

It was an absolute delight to photograph Akira-san and Mana-san at some of the city's most iconic landmarks when they visited sunny island Singapore.

Their personality and enthusiasm made the entire photography session enjoyable and fun. It was a privilege to be part of their journey and to help preserve these memories.

When I first met Samuel and Yvonne, I immediately sensed that their wedding would be filled with fun and laughter. The intimate ceremony they planned was not only cozy but also elegantly decorated, showcasing a perfect blend of style and class.

Yvonne’s exceptional planning skills were evident in every detail of the celebration. Her meticulous efforts ensured that every guest had a wonderful time, making the event truly memorable. It was a joy to witness and photograph their love and happiness on such a special day.

Congratulations, Samuel and Yvonne!

Singapore was their home for a few years, and now as they embark on their journey back to Japan, I am deeply privileged to capture these precious moments of their family story.

Photographing this set of documentary family photos for Ryo-san and Chiaki-san's will undoubtedly create Singapore memories for Issei-chan to cherish as he grows up. The last photo is the place where they reside.

Excited to announce that my latest exhibition is up and will be showcased for the entire month of April at the Fujifilm Studio at Suntec City.

I had the incredible opportunity to explore Japan with the Fujifilm X100VI before it’s official launch in February 2024. This exhibition chronicles my winter journey through Japan, capturing the places I've visited, the people I've encountered, and the vibrant streets of the land of the rising sun.

The X100VI, despite it’s small size, is a powerhouse of photography technology, enabling me to capture stunning images along the way. Using 500 pieces of Fujifilm Instax Square, I've chosen black and white expression to print my photos, creating a timeless and nostalgic feel.

The Fujifilm X100VI's powerful 40MP sensor meticulously captures an abundance of details in each photograph, ensuring stunning clarity. Even when printed on Instax square paper, the richness of detail in these prints is truly remarkable.

So, if you are around Suntec City area, do drop by Fujifilm Studio and check out my work. Do remember to use the magnifying glass to check out on the amazing details of the instax print.

Thanks for the speedy sign-up!
The workshop is fully booked now.

I'm frequently asked if I also cover corporate events. The answer is yes, although I don't often showcase them.

Here are some photos from a recent corporate party I had the pleasure of capturing.

おめでとう Nara san and Aya san

Though the first time I met this gorgeous couple was at the photoshoot day, it felt like I knew them for a long time and when I start photographing them, their mood and emotions just flowed naturally and they are really fun and candid.

Thank you for having me as your photographer. I really enjoyed shooting this Singapore set of photos for the both of you. 😊

Embracing Shadows

Light and Shadow plays a big part in my photography work. The presence of shadows is not merely an absence of light, but rather a vital element that enhances the brilliance of every scene. Like a quiet supporting actor, shadow lends depth and dimensions to allow the stories in the light to truly shine.
