“Graphics in Streets” Exhibition - Joint exhibition by Betty Goh and Siegfried Hansen
7 Dec 2021 to 3 Jan 2022
About the Exhibition
Betty did not understand what street photography was until she met Siegfried in Oct 2018. She attended a short workshop in Tokyo by him and was totally inspired. Encouraged by Siegfried, Betty practised and developed her own distinctive style of street photography. To date, Betty and Siegfried maintained a very good friendship and continued to discuss about street photography among themselves.
In this “Graphics in Streets” exhibition, we are thrilled to have both Siegfried and Betty come together and show us their individual unique style of graphical street photography taken in their own country.
