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.

Fresh off the heels of an exchange semester at UT-Austin and not ready to leave the city, I took up a summer internship at Austin's alternative newsweekly.
Joining the music desk was the best crash course into Austin music and culture I could ask for. I wrote musician features, album reviews, and concert recommendations. I took photos and wrote live reviews at music festivals including SXSW and Oblivion Access. I even got to interview a Grammy-nominated composer, review a Paramore show, and punch out with a cover story on my last week.
