Ore Huiying is a documentary photographer from Singapore. Her practice revolves around storytelling, which she believes is basic to human beings. She grew up in rural Singapore, but was uprooted to an urban environment as her country underwent development. As a result, Ore is drawn to narratives of people and places affected by development, with a focus on Southeast Asia, a region she feels deeply for. In this close-knit community, less developed countries often look towards their more affluent neighbors for financial and developmental aid. Her fascination with this phenomenon of interconnectivity has motivated her to produce stories that question the concept of power, identity, and sovereignty in the region.Ore was selected for the World Press Photo 6x6 Global Talent Program in 2018, which identifies and promotes six visual storytellers from each of the world’s six continents. In the...
