CHRISTOPHER ONG was already passionate about photography, on top of the World Trade Center just before the 9/11 attacks, when he took his first photograph. While living in Melbourne two years later, he became a founding member of the Lomographic Society of Melbourne, won two community awards for a street photography and exhibited at independent art galleries. He has also directed two short films, several music videos, and a weekly television variety show, all of which aired on Melbourne’s Channel 31.
On returning to Singapore, Chris worked as a portraitist before shooting the 2008 NUS Arts Festival campaign. This marked the beginning of his career. He became a freelance photographer in fashion, art and design serving such renowned clients as Hermès, Lacoste, Pull and Bear, Bershka, WanderWonder, Random, AKA Wayward, Regnum Lapideum and Reckless Ericka.
