Whether you’re an aspiring photographer or just a certified phone shutterbug, the latest Apple Photo Walks will let you level up your photography skills beyond snapping drool-worthy pics of your brunch or taking a selfie at a chio location.
Covering iconic landmarks around the island, this new series called Rediscover Iconic Singapore is held in partnership with the Singapore Tourism Board (STB). Explore iconic landmarks while picking up new editing techniques that’ll take your IG photo dumps to the next level – all for free. Here’s what’s in store for you:
There are three routes to choose from, each hosted at the Apple stores in Orchard, MBS, and Jewel Changi. Each session lasts around 90 minutes and the trails are no more than 1KM long – suitable for those who ain’t into the fitspo life.
Even if you don’t own an iPhone, the stores will gladly loan you the latest model for you to try out the full range of camera functions.

During the walk, guides will provide participants with tips and tricks on how to capture the perfect shot without needing a fancy camera.
At the end, there’ll be a quick crash course on photo editing on iPhones, so choose your best shots of the day and zhuzh them up according to your liking.

If you’d like to go back to the basics, there are two free workshops on Photography and Editing you can join. These sessions are just an hour long and will be held at Marina Bay Sands’ and Orchard Road’s Apple stores respectively.
One of the hacks we learned was how to make use of puddle reflections. The weather can’t stop us from snapping some sick shots now.

While Singapore may be small, there’s still so much to discover. These photo walks might even give you a new perspective on places you’ve often visited.
Besides being free, the routes are also wheelchair-friendly, making it an accessible activity for anyone to join. The photo walks will be a permanent addition to Apple’s host of events, with sessions refreshed weekly. Just be sure to keep an eye out for open slots because they fill up pretty quickly!
