Before smartphones turned everyone into photographers, capturing an image meant patience, from loading film and measuring light, to waiting for just the right moment. That patience is something Jeffrey Lim continues to preserve through Kanta Studio, his analogue photography space in GMBB, where he develops film by hand, builds cameras from scratch, and runs community workshops that reconnect people with the slower, more tactile side of image-making. We dive into his work, and how it fits into the city's visual memory.
