Singapore Night Photography Tour and Workshop with Justin Ng
Unlock the secrets of astrophotography in one of the world's most light-polluted cities, guided by the pioneer who made it possible.
This Singapore night photography workshop offers direct access to Justin Ng's carefully guarded shooting locations, where you will learn firsthand how a city known for relentless artificial light can still yield breathtaking images of the Milky Way and star trails.
Justin Ng rose to international recognition after capturing the first Milky Way time-lapse ever filmed above Singapore's skyline, a feat that earned coverage from National Geographic, BBC, and CNN. His techniques, developed through years of trial and failure under extreme light pollution, form the foundation of every session he leads.
Participants work directly alongside Justin at his selected hidden locations, receiving guidance on camera settings, timing, and the specialized post-processing workflow he uses to extract detail from heavily light-contaminated skies. A custom set of Photoshop Actions is included to help streamline your editing process after the session.

This tour takes place in Singapore, a densely urbanized city-state in Southeast Asia located at approximately 1.3521 degrees North, 103.8198 degrees East. Singapore is globally recognized as one of the most light-polluted environments on Earth, making astrophotography here a technically demanding and rare achievement. The tour operates at undisclosed outdoor locations within the city selected by Justin Ng for their specific sky exposure conditions. Singapore's equatorial position offers a unique window onto both northern and southern celestial objects depending on the season, and its consistently warm and humid climate defines the shooting environment. The activity is relevant to travelers and photography enthusiasts visiting or residing in Singapore who seek experiential, skills-based nighttime activities beyond conventional sightseeing.
