Sony Kicks Off “WHAT’S YOUR VIEW?” Social Activation Campaign

02nd December 2014, Singapore – Sony South East Asia (“Sony”) is pleased to announce the launch of its “WHAT’S YOUR VIEW?” regional campaign – a social activation endeavour to capture two distinct photographic perspectives through the lenses of Sony’s sleek α5100 and α6000 mirrorless cameras.

Eight prominent Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs), based in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand, will define the campaign’s direction with their lifestyle and technical approaches via the α5100 and α6000, respectively, as well as share their experiences and insights behind their snapshots. They’ll consist of a team of professional photographers who will front the α6000, along with a panel of leading bloggers who will unleash their creativity using the α5100. Sony’s “WHAT’S YOUR VIEW?” commences on 28 November 2014 and concludes on 1 February 2015, with Sony’s Power of Imaging South-east Asia Facebook page elected as the main outreach platform.

The campaign will showcase two monthly photo themes. Elected KOLs will snap photos revolving around these themes, and upload them to a [Gallery] application seated on Sony’s Facebook page for viewers to browse, like, or share. KOLs will also provide opinions and techniques on their online channels such as blog sites and social media outlets. Links to these contributions will be shared on Sony’s timeline to encourage interactivity between the community and influencers.

Key Opinion Leader for Sony α6000 – Mark Teo (SINGAPORE)
– A Singapore-based photographer with a Communications degree in Film, Video and Photomedia, Mark hones his craft through a balance of commissioned and personal work by examining life through his lens in unguarded portraitures and paused moments. He has an avid interest in extreme sports and urban subcultures, and through his experiences, he has researched and photographed cage fighters, graffiti artists, and motocross riders, to name a few. His dedication to this genre has led him to become one of the first photographers from Asia to work at the Red Bull headquarters in Austria, a leading global advocate of action and adventure sports. Mark believes music and skate cultures have long been catalysts for radical ideas and channels for creativity. Through experimenting, discovering, and collaborating with proponents of these and other street cultures, Mark continues to build a body of photographic work that reveals the uncompromised dynamism and raw energy of these alternate worlds.
