Coney Island: Photography & Instameet

Hey guys!
Like i mentioned in the previous post, Coney Island Singapore opened like 3 weeks back.
An "instagram meeting" was hosted haha so we had a whole lot of photos taken by all kinds of photographers on instagram!
Thanks for the photos guys~
Realized from this meeting the strong points of different photographers, some are really good at directing models, some are really good at visualizing
the perfect backdrop, some are really good with angles, or photographers who make you really comfortable around them (this is so impt
if not it'll just be so damn awk?)

To get there you just need to take the bus 84 from Punggol (it's 5 stops away apparently, blame google maps if its wrong not me)
And the walk into the park is 2.1km and no i had no idea it was THAT far not to forget the walk around almost the entire island to look for photo spots
Alternatively you can rent a bike and cycle in! Though i don't remember any pavements and the "paths" are filled with rocks here and there lol
Anyways, I don't think there'll be a need for insect repellents as much as people pre-empted for bugs!

And yeah i can see my timeline flooded with photos from Coney Island already!
The place turned out a lot nicer than i had imagined.


First 2 photos by Eng Tat (Instagram ðŸ“·)
Really loving the tones man i didn't even have to edit the lighting much!



Guessing this is a true candid cause i have no memory of this photo being taken hahaha




Most of my photos as seen on Instagram were shot by Ben! (Instagram ðŸ“·)
He spent like a whole 2 hrs with me around Coney haha
When we found a spot for photos he'll dump his bag on the ground and place mine above his
though i wouldn't really care about soiling my bag but that's so nice esp for someone i'm meeting for the first time D:




Having my Anastasia moment hahaha i have no idea why this scene in the cartoon is so locked up in my head since young
I realized this scene only lasted for less than 5 seconds, but i probably watched this movie a thousand times?!

I dont even think people know what Anastasia is so that's a reference
It's so unpopular i can't even find an image on google of her running on the log haha
(Yes that's a thai full-movie version on youtube i screenshot from)















We were saying about how that was my "explorer" face hahaha somewhat looks more like an act-blur face?







Fatter and shorter version of Pocahontas?! HAHAHAHA
This is my fav photo from the entire shoot though!
















And the last set by Azlan! (Instagram ðŸ“·)
Most of the photos he sent me were candids but through the photos it almost seems like i'm posing for his camera










Well the instameet was quite a new experience. 
I got to meet several people that i've only seen through my smartphone in real life and it's pretty fun!
It was pressurizing though, when everyone looks at you (there were 30 of us roaming around coney) hahaha
But ya when focus comes in it would somewhat feel like nothing?
Till next time!
