Helicopter aerial photo of East Coast.

Published in Over Singapore by Richard Koh.

About Richard Koh

Richard W J Koh is a Singaporean photographer who for most of his lifetime considers photography a mystical art where one harvests light which comes from Above. Formerly an R&D engineer in a tech MNC, since switching career in 2003 to professional photography, he has received several awards from global photography competitions, exhibited internationally, some representing Singapore and photographed for a range of clients from government to private sectors.

Taking photography literally to new heights, Richard photographed the ends of Singapore from the air by helicopter, for the book Over Singapore (launched in 2015, by Editions Didier Millet). In one of the most extensive aerial photography projects in Singapore, shots were taken from as high as 10000 feet above sea level, from both military and civilian helicopters. Rare aerial photos of surreal and unusual scenes of the extremities of Singapore are presented. Quaint illusionary faces can also be seen in the myriad of industrial and urban development interlaced with gardens and naturescapes. The blend of old and new in the city core, outlying islands with coral reefs and even the Red Lions in action, are also all seen from a new perspective.

Cooking supper was the favourite pastime of many inmates in Singapore’s prisons and Drug Rehabilitation Centres (DRCs) during the 1970s and 1980s. It was carried out illegally, inside their cells or dormitories, and carefully timed to avoid the warders’ scheduled patrols. Chamber pot and mugs were used as cooking pots, plastic bags and blankets turned into fuel. The inmates, mostly male and Chinese, called this elaborate operation “masak”, which means “to cook” in Malay.

When Cooking Was A Crime offers a rare glimpse into the flavours of prison life based on the memories of eight former inmates. It explores how food took on new meanings and tastes for those behind bars through interviews and texts by Sheere Ng and photographic recreations of 35 objects and dishes by Don Wong.
