Singapore Portrait

While shooting around the harbor one night I had the opportunity to take a picture of my friend Alvin. He is a producing student at the Chapman campus in Singapore. He was one of the many gracious hosts who showed us around and helped on the documentaries we shot.

Formalism in Singapore

I thoroughly enjoyed Singapore from an architectural standpoint. I found leading lines and geometric patterns everywhere. This is proof that I still take pictures during the day! 

Vertical is the new horizontal

I suspect that what few people we did run into during our night photography adventures in Singapore already thought we were crazy before I started taking pictures of the underside of a freeway. Sacrifice sanity for art is my motto! I always find it very fascinating that every location I shoot begs to either be almost completely composed horizontally or vertically. I have wondered if it depends on my mood that day or the subject matter. Singapore however is without a doubt, a vertical city. The looming architecture, beautiful trees and always changing sky make vertical shooting seem almost mandatory in every set up. See what I mean!?
