Joel Boh fell into the world of photojournalism and documentary storytelling while serving with the Republic Of Singapore Navy. Being tasked with shooting pictures and video to document important milestones with the Navy, he fell in love with the medium. That led him to a stint as staff photographer / videographer with Singapore Press Holdings — a media conglomerate based in Singapore.
