Held every 2nd Tuesday of the month, Creative Crew brought us yet another installment of the Creative Crew Meeting, where speakers pass down their useful knowledge of photo retouching and design to a group of bright-eyed audience members.

Question:

Legal to shoot buildings in Singapore?

For those who have not heard of it, the No-U-Turn syndrome comes from the fact that on Singapore roads, you are not allowed to make a U-Turn unless you specifically see a sign allowing this. This is what can be termed the permissive system; ie if there is nothing to specifically say you can do it, you cannot do it.

The issue of photography in public places has been of great interest to most photographers alike, as more often than not, they create photographs in such public places.

I’ll first deal with the general position on photography in public places, and perhaps in a future installment, touch on some rare exceptions which may beat the general rule.
