I'm excited to share with you today the work of Jon Siegel. Jon is an American expat based in Singapore. He works as a creative director for a digital agency by day. By night, he uses his camera to immortalize the streets of his adopted home. I spoke with him recently to discuss why he took up photography, the evolution of his style, and how he captures his subjects on the sly.

When doing research for my most recent assignment, I came across this wallpaper. The pattern is called Maharani, produced by the legendary design house Osborne & Little.

We spoke recently to discuss his craft, his sources of inspiration, and his favorite projects to date.

We spoke recently to discuss her career trajectory, her sources of inspiration, and the direction of her newest work.
