For AY2012/2013 Semester 2, CAPT (then called Angsana College) invited photographer Ms Samantha Tio as our Artist-in-Residence. Samantha began her practice as a fine art photographer while pursuing her Bachelors in Fine Arts at the School of Art, Design and Media at Nanyang Technical University in 2005. In her most notable series “Concrete Euphoria”, she used the large format camera to photograph urban landscapes around Asia. Despite the discipline-oriented methodology, she allows chance, chaos and emotional impulse to be huge driving forces in her practice. Her subsequent series “Conveyance” was acquired by the Singapore Art Museum. From 2010 to 2012, she was based in Yogykarta, Central Java for a residency programme where she collaborated with Indonesian Artist Budi Agung Kuswara to work on a series that involved the community.

Samantha held photography workshops and mentored a group of students who are interested in photography.
