About Goh Kim Hui

Since the day Kim Hui started to pick up photography as a hobby, he worked hard to reach where he is today. A self-taught photographer, he has accomplished excellent results in photographic competitions and received recognition from many international photographic bodies.

Today, he is not only an excellent photographer, but also a photographer in his own rights. He created his personal style, “Painting with Light”, “Make a Still Picture Moves” etc. and experimented with the wonders which light can be used to enhance a piece of photographic work. In his most recent photographic collection, he dwelled deeper and researched with the philosophy of the mysterious Ying and Yang.
Kim Hui’s involvement in photography began in 1968 when he was a 16 years old student. After his high school, he joined The Photographic Society of Singapore (PSS) where the passion for the art grew stronger. Since 1971, he actively participated in international photographic salons and exhibitions. To date, he has won more than 30 medals in both local and overseas salons.

He has contributed significantly in promoting photography. During the last year of his National Service in 1972, he was posted to SAFRA and helped in the formation of SAFRA Camera Club.
He served PSS as the Hon Secretary, Journal Editor and Hon Treasurer. He is the Vice-President presently. His involvement in PSS publications started since 1983, from the traditional cut and paste to DTP, from hard copy (book) to soft copy (CD-ROM) and the World Wide Web.

In 1998, he produced the first Electronic Photographic Exhibition in this region. He compiled all the exhibited works of the ASEAN Salon of Photography into a CD-ROM. It was programmed to display pictures automatically with a computer. The vivid production soon gained many recognition and congratulation letters from all over the world including two major international photographic organisations: The International Federation of Photographic Art and The Photographic Society of America. In September 1999, he produced yet another CD-ROM, this time he included a larger collection - The 50th Singapore International Salon of Photography. These two CD-ROM attempts are a first in both regionally and globally. Singapore has scaled to another new height in the world of photography.

Over the years, he has conducted numerous seminars and talks on photographic art in Singapore, Malaysia and China.

In the past 30 years, he has received recognition from the following international bodies:

• The Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain,
  
• International Federation of Photographic Art,
  
• The Photographic Society of New York,
  
• The Photographic Society of Singapore.
