=============================================
这是一组记录新加坡组屋(客厅)的照片。

从2009年开始拍摄,拍了五间组屋就停了。
而现在离开了原本的工作岗位,时间也比较灵活,
我想,也应该继续拍摄。

关于李欣赏

欣赏善于在闲暇时静心留意身边的一草一物,用相机把幻灭世界中的光影捕捉下来,透过他敏锐的洞察力,拍摄出一幅幅充满立体情感的平面作品。市井生活中再平凡不过的人物和景象,往往透过他的镜头下呈现出不同姿态。

现年34岁的李欣赏是在十年前加入<<联合早报>>摄影组当摄影记者,间中参与创办新加坡第一份免费华文报<<我报>>,最近刚归队早报摄影组。

这些年来他囊括海内外多个奖项,最近一次是于2008年在国际报业与传媒商业科技协会(Ifra)主办的第七届亚洲媒体大奖(2008 ASIA
MEDIA AWARD)最佳特写照片组别中获得金奖;同年5月,他在新加坡报业控股的华文报集团常年新闻奖中拿下了"最佳年度新闻照片";在2005年,他获得"菲利普·莫里斯(Philip Morris)新加坡艺术奖"中的最高荣誉--评审大奖。在2003年"ClickArt 国际艺术新闻摄影集会 " 中
,他也击败群雄在"幕后点滴"主题中夺得首奖。新闻嗅觉敏锐的欣赏在新闻采访线上的表现也非常突出,多次获得新加坡报业控股华文报集团颁发新闻奖以示肯定。

欣赏的摄影作品多次以摄影展的方式展出,精选作品也陆续结集成书,至今他已出版四本书。他刚在2009年举行他第二场摄影个展,这项名为《方城市》的展览展出他对英国、法国、德国和西班牙四个国家、八个城市的印象与观察,同名摄影集已在2010年2月出版。他的首场个展是于2003年12月在新加坡历史博物馆举行,他当时透过这项《信是有缘》摄影展,借镜头带大众贴近、了解新加坡的锡克和犹太族群;隔年,他再接再厉,与另一同事联办《一房一世》摄影展,展示多幅记录新加坡一房式组屋老人家生活点滴的黑白照片,希望能借此引起普罗大众对这些老人家的关怀。2006年,初为人父的他在博客上写下他这名新手爸爸的心情日记,博客文章定期在《我报》刊载长达一年半,广受读者欢迎,《ah
bob 爸爸周记》也因此在2008年诞生。

欣赏从马来西亚吉隆坡林国荣创意科技学院广告设计系毕业,主修摄影,后来取得University of Western Sydney
Nepean设计系学士学位。除了透过镜头为社会纪实,他也积极跟年轻一代分享摄影心得,他曾在南洋艺术学院多媒体部门(2005-2007
