Why a Photography Tour is the Best Way to Discover a New City
RICKY GUI . 4-6 MINUTES READING TIME . UPDATED 19 OCT 2025
Have you ever returned from a trip with hundreds of photos... but none that truly captured how it felt to be there? That’s kinda of sucks, because in my early years I experience such a feeling, something I can totally relate. Traveling and photography go hand in hand, but it can be uninspiring for some to take pictures that stand apart from the familiar attraction spots and to create images in your own unique style.
The struggles of traveling and photographing alone
When you travel solo or even with a partner, things don’t always go as planned.
It’s hard to take a great shot of yourself with your favorite landmark.
You might feel awkward asking strangers for help — or no one’s around to help anyway.
Maybe your friend or partner just “presses the button” without caring much about composition.
Navigation can be a headache — even with Google Maps, you still find yourself turning left when you should’ve gone right.
And by the time you finally reach your destination, you’re already exhausted, sweaty, and frustrated. I still see tourists lost in Singapore, trying to figure out where to go next while missing the best photo opportunities.
That’s Why I Created My Private Photography Tour
Singapore Private Photography Tours is created just for you. A photography-focused travel experience designed for curious-minded travelers and photographers. It’s more than just a tour; it’s about slowing down, seeing differently, and capturing moments with intention, you don’t need to do the navigation!
Whether you’re a beginner or an amateur photographer, our private / one-on-one photo tours in Singapore is guided by a working commercial/documentary photographer. This is not a group tour with a rushed itinerary — it’s a creative journey built around you. From iconic landmarks like Marina Bay to vibrant neighbourhoods like Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Gelam, we help you slow down, see differently, and photograph meaningfully.
Perfect for solo travelers, couples, or even creative artist looking for inspiration. No fancy camera required — we welcome smartphones if that’s what you wish to carry. It’s about the Art of Seeing, not just the gear. Expect hands-on tips, real-time feedback, bring you to my hidden photo spots, and well-composed self-portrait at each landmark — using your own device.
What you received when booking with us? 100% private and personalised, led by a pro photographer, hidden vantage points, creative coaching, photo reviews and more.
I’ve just started this new service, and I’d love all the support I can get from the community.
Come join me on a tour — Together we will explore at your own pace, tailored to your skill level and creative interests. Expect on-the-spot photography advice, optional image reviews, and flexible routes through the precinct. I’m pretty sure you’ll learn a thing or two, maybe even start seeing the world a little differently before hitting the shutter.
It’s relaxed, fun, and a great way to explore. Give it a shot — you won’t regret it!
