With our ongoing ‘OYAKO: PRESENT TO THE FUTURE, a parent-and-child photography exhibition’ by Bruce Osborn, we held an exclusive in-house photo shoot on Saturday, 20th February 2016. As per the subject Oyako, which means parent and child, we invited 14 local parent and child couples to join for the event.

Initiated by Bruce, an award-winning American photographer currently residing in Japan, his aim is to celebrate family relationships and bring out differences in lifestyles between two family generations. Extending the concept to Singapore, he focused on ‘parent and adult child family relations’ of Singaporeans with diverse backgrounds.

A few of the couples included Mr Tan Kay Guan (President of JUGAS) and daughter, Ms Som Binte Mohamed Said (1987 Cultural Medallion) and son, Ms Sivaranjini (DJ, FM 96.8) and mother as well as Ms Christine Ong (Tuttle Publishing) and her mother. The photo shoot was filled with great vibes, booming music and laughter followed by a video interview.

Bruce indeed executed the shoot masterly and captured heartwarming moments of all. Those photographs are now displayed in JCC so come on down to visit the Oyako exhibition, which will run till Saturday, 12th March 2016.
