Victor Tan KH, better known as @victkh on Instagram, began his journey in 2011 with just an iPhone 4. Armed with this simple tool, he ventured into the streets of Singapore, uncovering aspects of his city he had never seen before. What started as a hobby to pass the time quickly evolved into a profound passion.
Victor’s work captures fleeting moments that tell powerful stories: a man’s deep faith as he pierces his body in religious celebration, a woman’s tender embrace with her lover after a long day, and a child’s curious stare at a stranger behind glass. He strives to seize life as it unfolds—in the streets, behind alleys, and along the roads—preserving moments that will never return.
