Why It Matters

Episode 8

Duration: 11:40 mins

Synopsis: In this new podcast series for 2018, The Straits Times takes a close look at one key news talking point each week.

Time magazine, The Financial Times and The Telegraph are just some of the many top news publications that featured photos of the historic June 12 Trump-Kim summit in Singapore taken by The Straits Times' executive photojournalist Kevin Lim. How did he get that prized shot?

He also gives budding photographers tips on what kinds of equipment you need to capture similar scenarios at official meetings or even at sports events, since he also covered Joseph Schooling's historic triumph at the 2016 Olympics.
