About Betty Goh

Betty Goh's photography is infused with a sense of mystery and imagination. Her original and unconventional contemporary style often surprises and captivates her audience with its unexpected perspectives.

Born and based in Singapore, Betty’s primary passion is abstract street photography. She views the urban landscape through alternative visual perspectives, transforming the ordinary into extraordinary. Her work explores the beauty of everyday streets, capturing the intricate details of layers, lines, spaces, reflections, shadows, and silhouettes.

Betty's long term theme "Subconscious" is an introspective reflection of her soul and  subconscious. Street photography has provided her with a space to express the complex emotions of urban life—passion, loneliness, fear, tension, and dilemma. These unspoken, surreal emotions often emerge as hidden elements in her visual poetry.

Betty is the only Singaporean featured in Women Street Photographers, a groundbreaking book curated by Gulnara Samoilova and published by Prestel Publishing in March 2021. The book highlights 100 contemporary female street photographers from around the world.

Her solo exhibitions, Subconscious, in Tokyo and Singapore were both highly successful. Her photo series has also been displayed at Leica Singapore, Leica Malaysia, and in Germany. Betty’s work has been showcased globally, including in New York City, California, Italy, Scotland, Australia, Mexico, and India.

In addition to her exhibitions, Betty has delivered talks for Leica Singapore, Leica Malaysia, the Australian Association of Street Photographers, the Mexico Street Photo Festival, and 7SPACES in Germany. Notably, she was the only Asian photographer at the inaugural Mexico Street Photo Festival and in Germany. 

All of Betty’s photos are shot unposed and un-staged on the streets (mostly in her home city and country, Singapore), within a single exposure, and with minimal or no post-editing. This website captures key milestones in her unique photographic journey.

Betty produces good new work almost everyday and regularly posts them on her instagram @betty_goh_photography. Do check them out over there.
