Do you have a story to tell? If you have a story to tell, that is probably the best place.

I don't want to sound like a scholar or a poet but actually you can find opportunities to take story photos anywhere.

Here are some suggestions to have if you want to take these kind of shots:
1. What is the theme?
2. What is the subject and/or who are the subject(s)?
3. what kind of story do you want to tell?
4. what is the mood of the story?
5. Do the story have a beginning, middle and end? All stories have this.
6. Where do you think these stories happen? Where can these stories be found (after researching questions 1 to 5) ?
7. How will the story effect you or others?What impact does it have?
8. How do you say more with less? Does the story speak for itself?

Think about these questions first and maybe you can find some answers yourself?

Here is an example: "children playing in the sand" - east coast park, Sunday afternoon, small kids having a day out at the beach. for the first time, they are experiencing sand as a new experience. show how a child uses his/her imagination of using sand and anything they can find in building their very first sand castle. how will they do it with what they have? How big is the sand castle? Did dad or mom offer help? What happened in the end? What did the child experience and/or what expressions did they have? Who is sharing these experiences with them? etc, etc....

Have fun!

hmm your question seem rather vague..

what kind of pictures you want to take?

there are pictures with stories to take everywhere.. from your own house to office to hospital etc..

An honest answer - almost everywhere in Singapore. But the question is whether you bother to open your eyes and your mind/heart to see. Ask those who have joined an AG Outing. One can revisit a place so many times and still get so many different photos. I do.

Very true. Check out bro Azure's AG Outing photos, you'll be impressed.

Actually there are a lot of places in Singapore that are nice- be it in town or in the heartlands.

..its depending on what kind of stories u want to tell

Sometimes the same place can invoke different feelings when u went there again.

Hope this will be able to help u
