More About Deanna Ng

Question Icon What inspires you?

I'm drawn to spaces that are forgotten. Little pockets of green spaces in the urban city. Beauty is found in our own backyard.

Question Icon Describe your creative process.

Photography is a practice that trains us to be still and observe. I revisit my favourite spaces often. Translating the scene before me into an image takes time as i try to express what I see in front of me to how I feel about it.

Question Icon What are 3 words that best describe your work?

Contemporary, quiet, reflective.
