Flip the perspective and create an illusion of defying gravity at this bold location in Emerald Hill. As the body bends and takes form in the blacked-out windows, you're able to capture a visually compelling image against a vibrant red wall.

Tips

When to go

Best season

All months

Best time

Morning, Mid-day, Late afternoon
You can photograph the red wall and black windows outside of the Ice-Cold Beer bar during any month.
I took the photo during midday, but you can also find similar lighting conditions in the morning and late afternoon.

Field tips

I recommend using a wide-angle lens so you can easily frame the cluster of three windows — with the center window as the main focal point.
To get this upside-down perspective, I rotated my image 180 degrees in post-processing. This gives the illusion that the model is suspended in the window.
Because of the bold red and black colors, I suggest having your model wear white for a stark contrast.

Do nearby

Grab a drink at Ice-Cold Beer and then walk around the neighborhood of Emerald Hill for some shopping.
If you're looking for a place to eat, I highly recommend Midpoint Orchard. It's a small mall that has a basement-level food court with some great Indonesian food.
