About the photographer:
Alvan Yap spent one year in Timor Leste under the Singapore International Foundation's overseas volunteer programme. Attached to the Agape School for the Deaf in the capital, Dili, he helped to develop a curriculum and a standardised sign language system.

Hearing-impaired himself, Alvan has a diploma in special education and had taught at the Singapore School for the Deaf for four years. He now works as an editor and writer with a local publishing company. Alvan took up photography as a hobby nine years ago; he stuck with a point-and-shoot camera for five years before he deemed himself worthy of a DSLR. These days, he makes pictures with prime lenses, available light and a whole lot of serendipity.

Good photography knows no boundaries.

MONTAGE 2012 by the Photographic Society of NUS (NUSPS) returns this year with exciting exploration on a brand new theme – No Boundaries.

Montage 2012 returns for its 14th year as the NUSPS flagship event with a brand new theme -- No Boundaries! This year, we aim to inspire breakthroughs in photography through an exciting series of competition, workshops and seminar events.

Photographs have the ability to transcend boundaries, cultures and touch our hearts in different ways. Through exploration of the theme "No Boundaries”, we hope to show that photography is not limited to our own imposed limitations.

We now welcome you to come forward with photo entries that best capture the essence of "No Boundaries" for the Montage 2012 Photography Competition! You can choose to take part in the Individual Photos category (Youth or Open sub-categories), or the Photo Story (Youth) Category. Winners stand to win attractive prizes from Canon Singapore and Cathay Photo. Entry submission ends on 20 May 2012 (Sun).

You can also look forward to the exciting line-up of Montage 2012 seminar and workshops! The seminar will showcase three established professional photographers — Nicky Loh, Darren Soh, and Sebastian Tan, who will speak on topics relating to their expertise on 10 June 2012 (Sun) at the NTUC Centre Auditorium (One Marina Boulevard).

This year, the popular Montage workshop series will be held on 16 June 2012 (Sat) at NUS Shaw Foundation Alumni House. They will be conducted by professional instructors consisting of portrait and strobist expert Alex Siew, food photographer and blogger Leslie Tay, wedding photographers Matthew Tan and William Chua, and advertising photographer Invy Ng.
