About me
Hi, I'm Kamsin
I am a photographer and writer exploring how belief, memory, and cultural identity become visible in the material fabric of everyday life. My work considers the ways streets, rituals, domestic spaces, and inherited environments hold traces of meaning and how those meanings shift across time.
Originally from the UK, I first visited Asia as a student in the late 90s. Since then, I’ve lived in Japan for over fifteen years before moving to Singapore, where we’ve been since 2022. How I see the world has been shaped by both my British upbringing and adult life in Asia. Asian culture is deeply attentive to continuity, impermanence, and the quiet persistence of tradition. These experiences inform my interest in faith, ritual practice, and the subtle ways spiritual and cultural values are embedded in ordinary spaces.
My current photographic work focuses on urban environments and architectural detail, but the underlying concern remains constant: how people carry belief, belonging, and history within the structures they inhabit.
I hold an MA in Applied Linguistics and TESOL and previously taught in China, Japan, Bosnia, and the UK. In 2024, I became a volunteer guide at the Asian Civilisations Museum in Singapore, where I engage closely with regional art, religious traditions, and material culture.
I live in Singapore with my family, navigating life between languages and cultures, an ongoing negotiation that continues to shape my understanding of home.
