Tips

When to go

Best season

All months

Best time

Morning, Mid-day, Late afternoon
You can photograph the DUO Residences year round, but I recommend avoiding the spring months when it rains frequently.
Visit during any time of the day to get similar lighting conditions.

Field tips

Try tilting your phone at a 45-degree angle so that the lines flow from one edge of the frame to the other — instead of having them go horizontally from right to left.
You can also back up and photograph the building straight on so that all of the lines create a perfectly symmetrical pattern.
If you're shooting with a camera, I suggest using a wide-angle lens so the structure fills up the entire frame. Having so much of the honey-comb pattern in your shot will make the building appear larger than life, as if it's encompassing more of the space.
