TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP

Photograph Singapore’s highlights from lesser-known places to iconic tourist sites, as the city transforms from afternoon light to night, from Chinatown to Marina Bay, while enhancing your travel photography skills.

Remarkable photo tour and learning photography on the go… We had a superb full day photo tour and learning with Lee. Attractive way to see Singapore from a photographer's angle, the tourist side and local path. Learned lots of photo techniques especially our first time to capture traffic light trails. Our travel photos will definitely look much better from now on ~ Elk

Why Join This Workshop?

Travel photography is not just a single genre. It is the art of combining street life, architecture and local culture to capture a cohesive visual narrative of a place. Guided by a professional travel and documentary photographer with extensive field experience, you will explore and photograph a curated mix of iconic landmarks and hidden gems, from the living heritage of Chinatown to the futuristic skyline of Marina Bay, creating a striking visual contrast between old and new Singapore.

You will learn to move fluidly through the city and adapt your camera settings in real time across changing light conditions, from afternoon sunlight and sunset to dark night. This workshop is ideal for photographers and travellers of all skill levels who want to craft images with curiosity, character and depth across Chinatown, the Singapore River and Marina Bay. It is beyond just basic camera settings and landmark hopping.

The Route

Starts from the heritage streets of Chinatown to the Marina Bay with a dynamic mix of historic architecture and modern landmarks.

In Chinatown, explore streets once home to early immigrant clans to capture Singapore's unique shophouse architecture and get a glimpse into the local way of life. From there, head to a spectacular high viewpoint to photograph a breathtaking bird's eye view of the city skyline.

As the sun starts to set, head to the Singapore River for a sunset and blue hour photography along Clarke Quay. Then continue towards the colonial district and Marina Bay. This stretch offers a striking contrast of colonial architecture alongside futuristic designs, featuring notable landmarks like the Old Hill Street Police Station, the Fullerton Hotel, the Merlion and Marina Bay Sands.

At night, the city transforms. The illuminated skyline and vibrant waterfront set against the dark sky offer the perfect backdrop to master low light and long exposure photography.
