Event Details
As the sun sets and the sky turns a beautiful deep blue, join Karen Lucas for a colourful, culturally-rich Photo Walk in the historic Arab Quarter where we’ll be photographing the iconic architecture, traditional shops, trendy cafe’s, stunning street art, and friendly locals.
- Individual Feedback on the photos taken during the walk (via online forum)
- Complimentary Membership to the Karen Lucas Photography Club, an exclusive forum where you can ask questions, find inspiration, get feedback on your photos, and access members-only events and offers.
We’ll start the walk in colourful Haji Lane then we’ll do a meandering walk around the neighbourhood taking in the unique architecture and sights, including the beautiful Sultan Mosque, which we’ll capture during the famous ‘blue hour’.
Every time we stop at a scene, Karen will share her recommendations for camera settings, lens choice and creative framing options. She’ll often demonstrate how to best capture the scene to get you started and then she’ll come around whenever time permits to check on your progress, see if you need help, and give you 1-to-1 feedback on your photos.
The Arab Quarter is one of our favourite places in Singapore to photograph people so you’ll be meeting the locals and we’re going to help you get over your shyness of approaching and photographing complete strangers.
We’ll visit the beautiful Sultan Mosque and then explore the neighbourhood on a circular route which takes in some stunning street art, trendy boutiques and cafes, and traditional shops selling spices, perfumes, textiles, basketry items and Arabian rugs.
Bring a range of lenses from wide angle to telephoto as you’ll be able to use them all on this walk.
“A very big thank you to Karen for her constant constructive feedback and patience. I always learn so much on these walks!”
Sharlene G.
“I’ve attended several of Karen’s photography workshops and walks and loved every minute. Her passion for her subject and enthusiasm for teaching is totally inspiring. Her sense of humour, creativity and joie de vivre permeate the lessons and field trips and her clear explanations of the technical bits enable even the most technophobic to get creative. Highly Recommended!”

Gardens by the Bay is a fantastic location to be photographing at sunrise as the waters are perfectly still and if the sky is clear we may catch beautiful colours in the sky. We’ve already mapped out several fabulous shoot locations where you’ll capture stunning views of the Supertree Grove, Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay.
Every time we stop at a scene, Karen will share her recommendations for camera settings, lens choice and creative framing options. She’ll often demonstrate how to best capture the scene to get you started and then she’ll come around whenever time permits to check on your progress, see if you need help, and give you 1-to-1 feedback on your photos.
The highlight of this photo shoot are the fabulous views from the Marina Barrage, Gardens by the Bay East, and an elevated vantage point within the gardens. The gardens, Marina Bay Sands, and the city will all be beautifully lit just after sunrise and we’ll capture a fabulous series of landscape photos.
We’ll also photograph the iconic Supertrees and Domes (bring an ultra wide angle lens!), and some of the beautiful garden scenes.
We will be covering a lot of ground so please wear comfortable walking shoes.
“A big thank you, Karen, for running the workshop at Gardens by the Bay last week. I had a great time – it was a very relaxed and informative tour and I’ll definitely be signing up for more Walks soon.”

Event Details
Explore the sprawling grounds of this unusual temple complex in Bishan on a fascinating photography tour with photographer Karen Lucas. Kwong Wai Siew Peck San Theng, which is owned by 16 Cantonese and Hakka clan associations, houses a columbarium, two temples, and ancestral worship services.
- Individual Feedback on the photos taken during the walk (via online forum)
- Complimentary Membership to the Karen Lucas Photography Club, an exclusive forum where you can ask questions, find inspiration, get feedback on your photos, and access members-only events and offers.
We’ll start the walk at the ornately-decorated entrance to the Kwong Wai Siew Peck San Theng complex and, after photographing the facade, we’ll explore the gardens, taking some interesting landscape photos.
We’ll also visit two temples and the columbarium, a place of ancestral worship which houses 100,000 niches which are available to the public irrespective of race, language and religion.
We’ll be moving together as a group and you’ll have lots of opportunities to photograph the scenes from different angles and experiment with lens focal lengths.
Every time we stop at a scene, Karen will share her recommendations for camera settings, lens choice and creative framing options. She’ll often demonstrate how to best capture the scene to get you started and then she’ll come around whenever time permits to check on your progress, see if you need help, and give you 1-to-1 feedback on your photos.
This complex is completely off the tourist trail so you can expect a very peaceful, cultural experience and a fascinating glimpse into the traditional rituals that take place here daily.
Some of the structures have unique architectural features that you won’t find anywhere else in Singapore. And, there are lots of interesting and colourful details in the temples to photograph, including decorative entrances, eleborate plaster, tiled and painted murals, beautiful statues, colourful temple bells, and more.
“A very big thank you to Karen for her constant constructive feedback and patience. I always learn so much on these walks!”
Sharlene G.
“I’ve attended several of Karen’s photography workshops and walks and loved every minute. Her passion for her subject and enthusiasm for teaching is totally inspiring. Her sense of humour, creativity and joie de vivre permeate the lessons and field trips and her clear explanations of the technical bits enable even the most technophobic to get creative. Highly Recommended!”

Karen Lucas has ignited in me a new passion for photography and unraveled all the mysteries of camera buttons! I’ll highly recommend her to all my Singapore friends and overseas visitors. A great way to learn skills and see more of our photogenic city. Loved the Beginners Course!

Karen was a wonderful teacher for a Beginner’s Photography class. You can tell how much she loves her work and truly cares about her students’ abilities in photography. I highly recommend her class and also as a professional photographer. Karen’s creativity and vision is very apparent in her photos.
