[Launch] EOS YOUNG PHOTOGRAPHER AWARDS

National Geographic Channel and Canon Singapore has launched the EOS Young Photographer Awards contest in Singapore. This coveted award will be presented to the photographer with the best photograph submitted to the region-wide contest.

 
This inaugural region-wide EOS Young Photographer Awards between Canon and the National Geographic Channel is to inspire youths across Asia to take an active interest in the creative arts and know more about the science of photography. Thus, it will also help to encourage the young generation to discover and pursue their passion in photography too.

   The contest calls all aspiring young shutterbugs between the ages of 13 and 25 in Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia to submit their best photographs under the theme of ‘A Celebration of Colour.’
 
 
 Joe Riis, an esteemed photographer from the National Geographic and also the youngest Wildlife Photojournalist completed his first feature for National Geographic Magazine when he was 26. He has won an Emmy in 2011 for his pronghorn cinematography which was featured in National Geographic Channel’s Great Migration series.

 
 
 I was invited to attend the photography seminar which was held at The Singapore Airlines Theatre, LASALLE College of the Arts. Joe Riis was in town last weekend, and held an exclusive photography seminar to share his vast array of photography experiences and provide some tips for photography enthusiasts in Singapore.
  
  
I was pretty much looking forward to an informative seminar with Joe Riis as I wanted to have a better understanding of his winning pronghorn cinematography, which was featured in the National Geographic Channel’s Great Migration series, and of course to get to know about his latest projects and expeditions.

The photography collection is awesome beyond words and the pictures look so realistic. His impressive collection was definitely worth my early Sunday morning (shorten my beauty sleep) and the seminar was splendid.

Korea's No. 1 beauty brand, KUNDAL shower/hair products are now available in Singapore, and I am honored to try out their full series of shampoo, treatment, body wash and hair serum which includes a special gift from them - Bath Bombs! KUNDAL o ffers natural hair/bodycare products that have the perfect blend of plant extracts.

What I love about the  KUNDAL HONEY & MACADAMIA  range is  that they use honey and macadamia extracts as their main ingredients. They are also infused with a specific scent - such as Pink Grapefruit, White Musk or Cherry Blossom, or the most popular floral scent, Baby Powder.
