📰 Cody Choi: News & Highlights (2025)
🚀 A Landmark Year of Acceleration, Awards, and Partnership
2025 has been a year of explosive growth and achievement, marked by significant artistic recognition, strategic brand collaborations, and a prestigious new professional chapter.
📸 Leica Partnership & Professional Chapter
My relationship with Leica has deepened significantly this year, moving into direct brand collaboration and high-level professional engagement:
-
Leica SL3 Project & "Stillness in Motion": I was honoured to be invited by Leica to test and use the new Leica SL3 camera specifically for the Singapore chapter of my ongoing dance photography project, "Stillness in Motion."
-
Leica.Connect Sharing Session: I was invited to give a sharing session titled "Where Dance Movement Becomes Art" for the Leica.Connect series at Leica Singapore. This high-profile event, along with my continued contributions to Leica Fotografie International (LFI), solidifies my status within the Leica global community.
-
New Professional Chapter: These artistic collaborations are complemented by my new role with Leica Camera AG at their prestigious counter in Harrods, London, providing invaluable insight into the luxury market and industry dynamics.
🏆 Artistic Recognition & Exhibition Success
The year was highlighted by a major award win: I was honoured to be the Winner 🏅 of the Photography Category at the "Touchlines of Fortitude" exhibition. This award reaffirms the core philosophy driving my art: the belief that “Movement remembers what words forget.”
My work has been exhibited extensively across continents throughout 2025, including:
-
International: The Other Art Fair (White Bay Cruise Terminal, Sydney)
-
London: The Other Art Fair (The Truman Brewery), Highgate Art Fair, Touchlines of Fortitude (Beach Gallery), Love Show (XYZ Gallery), and PhotoX3 (Lighthouse Gallery).
🤝 Commercial Collaborations
The market appeal of my figurative portraits has grown, with new collaborations featuring my work on LG GalleryTV+ & Saatchi Art and HUO London, alongside my ongoing partnership with Samsung TV and in prestigious properties by Hilton Hotels
This exceptional year of activity reaffirms my commitment to “Follow not only the movement, but breathe with the dancers.”
Was great meeting new audiences and new clients!
Thank you Manchester Art Fair team for the amazing show!!!
Your support means a lot to me as an artist. Thank you so much!

Chicago
According to the Guinness Book of Records Mong Kok is the busiest place on earth. Cody can’t help but spend hours to walking around his favourite area every day to feel the energy, the noise, the speed, the loneliness, the people, the culture, to think, to get inspired and most importantly, to feel alive.

“A series about ourselves during pandemic”
While you are isolated from the rest of the world, what is the one thing that keep you going?
During the pandemic, we are asked to give up a lot things in our life: job, relationship, home or even your dream. While we are choosing which to let go one by one, what is the one last thing you always hold tight?
While covid-19 has stirred up the whole world, at least one thing is made clear to me— I can never live without Dancing.
To be or not to be— isn’t it easier just to quit? It is indeed, but it will never be my option.
And I hope the same to you
