Mr Raymond Chua Seng-Chye, began his interest in photography during his school days in the 70's. However, it was only from 1979 that he really began actively winning awards and getting recognition for his works, both in the local and international arena.
As of today, Mr Raymond Chua has held many solo exhibitions of his works in Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur), East Malaysia (Sabah), China (Guizhou); including one locally themed stage photography titled "Dance Impression" held in conjunction with the Singapore Dance Festival in 1987.

Believing in promoting photography arts, Mr Raymond Chua has contributed as a judge to both local and international photographic competitions. His current contributions include expanding his field in nature, travel and digital photography through talks and workshops.
Hoping to add to his list of contributions as well as to ensure fair judgement of the winners of the upcoming Singapore Young Photographers Convention 2013, the SYPC committee has recruited Mr Raymond Chua to help judge the winning pics for our convention.
