Years ago I was assigned the task of producing a new Corporate
Brochure. At the time we were active in on-shore and off-shore oil
production, construction of primarily on-shore facilities and various
design and engineering work.
I found that firstly, the Graphic Artists and printers in Singapore
were superb and secondly that there were, 15 years ago, photo
libraries that had just about any sort of picture you might want. I
also know professorial photographers and en ex-editor of a travel
magazine.
The point of this "life's story" is that I know, personally, that
about all the professional photography people that are making a living
in Singapore are (1) the guys selling the stuff and (2) wedding
photographers.
