About this Event

Since 2016, Boplay Photos has been a fixture in Singapore’s underground gigs — first capturing still images, and later experimenting with video to preserve the raw energy of shows across genres. In this talk, Boplay shares why archiving matters, the philosophy behind his work, and the technical lessons learned along the way. More than just photos and footage, it’s about preserving the culture and spirit of the underground for generations to come.


What to Expect

Why Archive? – The importance of preserving underground music culture.

Process & Practice – From photography to videography, how the work evolved.

Technical Lessons – Insights into the gear, workflow, and challenges of archiving.

Reflections – Stories from years of documenting the underground scene.


For musicians, fans, and creatives alike, this session is a rare chance to reflect on the value of keeping the underground alive — one gig at a time.
