Tips

When to go

All months

Best time

Morning, Mid-day, Late afternoon

All months of the year are suitable to photograph the Singapore Botanical Gardens.

For a familiar shot, visit this place during the day to utilize the sunlight as much as possible.

Field tips

I recommend using a portrait lens (50mm) to highlight your subject.

By placing the model in the middle of the shot, looking directly at the camera, you can draw the viewer's eye in and create a sense of symmetry.

To enhance the botanical aspect of the image, have your model wear floral attire with accessories that complement the background.
