Visual Journalist & Filmmaker
Wayne Lim (b. 2000) is a visual journalist and filmmaker based between Singapore and Perth.
He is a recent graduate from Nanyang Technological University's Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information. Across both journalistic and personal projects, he is often drawn to themes of longing and belonging.
His work has been published in Austin’s alt-weekly The Austin Chronicle and Singapore’s daily broadsheet The Straits Times, and awarded at College Photographer of the Year, the world’s largest collegiate photojournalism competition.
His films have also screened at the Oscar-qualifying Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia (Japan) and the Singapore Youth Film Festival, among others.
As a lens-based artist, his creative practice is grounded in an ongoing search for self and home.

SPOILT is an independent photojournalism project documenting the 2025 General Election in Singapore through the eyes of Gen-Z first-time voters.
My co-editor Srinidhi Ragavendran and I crafted the editorial direction of the zine, refined pitches with some 20 contributors, and spent many hours copy-editing the articles — all in the span of a month. Key stories include an interview with veteran politician Dr Tan Cheng Bock; a feature on opposition politician Dr Chee Soon Juan told through the eyes of his children; and a series of diptychs juxtaposing calm and chaos at rallies.
As design editor, I also designed all layouts in the zine.

We also owe it all to our photojournalism lecturer Samuel He for planting the idea in our heads, and the subsequent advice he gave us along the way.
