Currently based in Singapore, Lenne is an established fashion photographer and creative director whose work is hard to miss.

Besides Singapore, the young photographer also travels to Tokyo regularly, where she shoots for commercial brands such as Bang & Olufsen, an internationally known audio technology provider.

More recently, Lenne collaborated with Singapore-born, Australia-raised filmmaker Ling Ang to produce Karaoke Party, an exhibition that presents fashion-centric karaoke videos accompanied by original tracks from local musicians that you can sing along to.

Their aim was to encourage locals to ponder on their perception of homegrown fashion and music. The event turned out to be a huge success, drawing a sold-out crowd of 400 guests from all over Singapore.

Today, we have the privilege to take a sneak peek into this talented individual’s smartphone to discover the apps that get to be part of her life!

1. WhatsApp and Gmail

“For work!”

2. Facebook

“For thought provoking articles (e.g., what Tay Tay wore to Whole Foods), plus the daily exercise of identifying and scrolling past click-bait.”

4. Kung Fury

“I am a huge fan of Kung Fury, and everyone needs a mindless button-mashing game to spend time on. It’s actually pretty well designed, and I love the graphics, sound and interface.”

5. Instagram

Frankly, I’m not a fan of how the app makes me feel (not unlike a meth addict). But every time I look away and back, I find my fingers scrolling towards infinity…and my data limit.”
