Want to know what it feels like to be in a caterpillars body? This is one of Singapore’s most unique underpasses which has an uncanny resemblance to a caterpillar. There are lots of creative ways to compose this location. Check it out!

How to get there

N1° 16' 36.5376"E103° 48' 07.5816"
This location is in the pedestrian underpass that leads to Alexandra Technopark. You can enter the underpass off of Alexandra Rd just after the Hewlett Packard building and before bus stop 15051. I walked ~10 meters into the underpass to take this shot. By MRT: - Closest MRT Station: Labrador Park - Take exit “A” - Head west towards Alexandra Rd - Turn right on Alexandra

Tips

When to go

Best season

All months

Best time

Morning, Late afternoon
All months of the year are suitable to photograph the underpass since it’s an interior shot.
Visit in the morning or late-afternoon (avoid office hours) if you don’t want too many people walking through the underpass. To avoid grainy photos, it’s also best to shoot when there is still light outside which helps slightly illuminate the underpass.

Field tips

By using a wide-angle lens (18mm) your composition will have a lot of depth and maximize the amount of circles (sections of the caterpillar’s body) in-frame.
I instructed the model to lie down on the floor under the light, but to pretend that the floor is the wall. I then flipped this photograph 90 degrees clockwise to create this unique standing effect of my model. Get creative in your own composition!
Try walking further down the underpass; there’s lots of great spots to photograph throughout!
Since there is not much light at this location, I emphasized the dark tones in post-processing.
