Singapore through the eyes of migrant workers

The Photo Essay is a new Asian photography project that has launched with two very novel projects:

InsideOut is a series of photos taken by foreign workers in Singapore, giving us a glimpse into their Singapore.


I like this photo by Gema T. Villacruzes, simply titled "Towel On Chair"

Dayoff is a series of photos by 6 Singaporean photographers and documents how foreign workers here spend their days off.


A group of Sri Lankan maids walk around a Bodhi tree in a Sunday prayer session in this photo by Sim Chi Yin.

What a wonderful idea! It's so cool to see a glimpse into the lives of the foreign workers here, people who are ubiquitous but fade into the background for most of us. Some of the photographs in InsideOut are surprisingly gorgeous, too!
