Place Info

There is no other place like Singapore, the beating heart of South-East Asia.  Whatever you are looking for, you will find it in Singapore; state-of-the-art new architecture, historic Peranakan streets, lush gardens, world-renowned shopping, markets with friendly faces, ...  It is a melting pot of cultures.  It is where old meets new, and where green meets urbanization.  All the main attractions in Singapore are within walking distance.  And if not, the Mass Rapid Transit system is best-in-class.

For those passionate about photography; there are few places in the world where you can capture such a wide variety of moods and scenes.  All within a short time span and within short travel distance.    

Chinatown is where it all blends into one.  It is Singapore's beating heart.  A vibrant place where you can get lost for hours.  Chinatown is in stark contrast to the financial district or Marina Bay Area.  Chinatown is where you go back in time and experience the authentic Singapore.  

 

 

Things To Know

 

What To Bring and What To Wear

Any camera with manual settings is sufficient.  With the exception of camera-phones, nowadays just about any camera has manual settings.  A Tripod is preferred but not a must.  

Those who wish to bring advanced accessories ; you are welcome to do so (filter systems / flashes / etc...).  There is a strict limitation of 10 participants, which allows for more personalized mentoring.

Wear shorts and shirts.  Singapore gets very hot.  A hat.  Sunscreen.  Comfortable walking shoes.  A rain jacket.

 

Photography Level

Absolutely no pre-existing photography knowledge is required for our Beginners Tour.  You will learn how to get the most out of your camera, and no doubt on your next holiday you will bring back stunning photographs.  And for those familiar with the basics of photography; you will significantly increase your skills up to (semi-) professional level.

Fitness Level

We will be walking around the city at a leisurely pace.  No specific fitness level is required, however, we do expect participants to be able to walk throughout the morning.  It is not any different from your average city trip.

What will you be photographing?
