I have always admired the photographs that are taken by award-winning National Geographic Photographer Joe Riis and I am really happy to find out that he will be in Singapore this week to hold an exclusive photography seminar and workshop to share his vast array of experiences, and to provide some practical tips to local photographers. In fact, there was a similar photography seminar that was also conducted by the National Geographic last year but I totally missed out on the opportunity and this time round, I ain’t letting this chance slip by.
So, who is Joe Riis?
