For the past 2 years I have been documenting the progress of Gardens by The Bay, a 54 hectare garden project in the Garden City of Singapore. The project is due for completion in June 2012 but this November National Parks Board opened it\u2019s doors for a sneak preview to coincide with the World Orchid Conference hosted by Singapore.<\/p>\n

This \u2018soft\u2019 opening gave me the opportunity to finally capture a portion of the completed gardens. It was quite surreal composing images including layers of people on building on landscape when I had spent 2 years shooting a construction site. The addition of people adds an extra element to the shots and I enjoyed capturing the public experiencing this extraordinary place. I can\u2019t wait to shoot the completed gardens next year. For now, this will have to do!<\/p>\n
