This place is becoming a regular spot on my photography workshops for learning architectural and landscape photography. Maybe I should add on other spots in Jewel or C*D area. Any suggestions?

Give away time?

Shoutout to COOPH for sponsoring their wonderful photography swag! I'm honestly impressed with the quality and feel of their products, especially the beanie!

I'll be planning to give some of these away, some with SPC and some on my YouTube channel or other channels. More details to come in the future!

Sunrise photography in Singapore.

Taken in May 2026. Between photo and video production, workshops and content creation, mornings like these have become a luxury. Hoping to shoot more sunrises and sunsets while maintaining and being grateful for the clientele I have now.

The best photos start before sunrise.

4am wasn’t for the sunrise. It was to catch the coconut boats before the crowds arrived.

As the first light broke over Da Nang Beach, the boats drifted across calm waters, the soft morning light bringing out every texture and colour. Within an hour, the quiet scene was gone.

Some shots simply can’t be recreated later in the day. Sometimes, the difference between an ordinary photo and a memorable one is just being willing to wake up earlier than everyone else.

Would you make the 4am wake-up call for a shot like this?

5 Street Photography Tips for Hoi An 🇻🇳

1. Wake up early. The streets are quieter, the light is softer, and locals are just starting their day.
2. Look for conical hats. The iconic nón lá instantly adds a sense of place to your photos. Position yourself where the light catches the hat, and wait for someone to walk into your frame.
3. Wait for the moment. Instead of chasing people, find a strong background and let the right subject walk into your composition.
4. Look beyond the lanterns. Everyone photographs them. Turn around and capture everyday life—the cyclists, market vendors, and quiet alleyways.
5. Stay out after sunset. When the lanterns light up and reflections appear on the river, Hoi An takes on a completely different atmosphere.

The best street photos aren’t always about famous landmarks—they’re about capturing the people and moments that make a place feel alive.
