Where should I stay?

Posted on by CA+

We’re all set to go to Singapore and lots of photographers are booking their flights. one of the common questions is where to stay.

The event is being held at the wonderful Shooting Gallery, but being a busy production house with multiple studios, it’s not in the centre of town.

Getting around Singapore is super easy (and cheap), so we recommend staying in the hub. We like central Singapore and Chinatown as you can eat at multiple hawkers markets, stay in converted shophouses and experience life around the river.

Better still, it’s where many of the ad agencies are, and if you arrive before or stay on after the weekend you might just bump into a few creatives and reviewers in the local bars 🙂

Air BnB has some great options, and there are tons of hotels in the area. In fact, if you join our Crack the Asian Market Facebook group we’re starting a thread so you can hook up with other photographers and share accomodation.

We’re staying in Chinatown. See you there! x
