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.
