I was commissioned to photograph Goodwood Residences for Landscape Architects ICN Design International Pte Ltd on a recent trip to Singapore.
The residences are spread over 2.5 hectares which border Goodwood Hill, a tree conservation area and the very busy Bukit Timah Road . By the clever design the main recreation area called the ‘The grand Lawn’ is sheltered from the busy road and therefore creates a relaxing environment for the tenants to enjoy the facilities and views into the tree reserve.
I was required to capture images of the landscaping only but also to capture the wider context of the planting and water features. It was a great project to photograph but couldn’t help thinking about having a swim in the pool the whole time I was there. I also had my complete setup (17mm Tiltshift Lens, camera body, tripod head and tripod) topple over onto the slate floor. Luckily the tripod head took the majority of the impact and both camera and lens were ok. A big relief!!
