I started two weeks ago to organise and lead photowalks around Singapore, one per month (well actually two since I do one in French and one in English), each month being in a different part of Singapore.
A photowalk is kind of a photography class but less formal. Mine are 2 hours long, opened to all levels (with any kind of equipment) as we focus more on composition than on technique (although we talk about it too).
In any case the photowalk of January was in Chinatown.
I love this colourful part of the Red Dot. There is great street photography opportunities at every corner with lots of street shops, the market with its fair share of “exotic” food, street art on the walls, the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, a mix of tourists and locals.
A street-photographer paradise.
Early in the morning you can photograph the empty streets (yes, even Pagoda Street can be empty!!), the shops opening up as the sun rises high.
A closer look at the shops gave us a chance to play with composition and colours, to do some fun still-life and close-up shots.
We walked toward the market and stopped at a durian’s shop, because food photography is, for me at least, a huge part of travel photography.
And finally we went to the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple.
