Situated at the junction of Orchard Road and Killiney Road, proudly stands Singapore's tallest vertical mall, Orchard Central.

 

Offering unparalleled views of the hustle along Orchard Road, the air conditioned shopping street discovery walk and the lush rooftop garden are both accessible to the public 24 hours a day.

 

For photographers looking to get a time lapse video or enviable sunset shots, this unconventional spot off the beaten track is the epitome of natural ambience.

  

Flooded with #goldenhour lighting in the day, the open area transforms into a beautiful space at night against the moonlit sky for the perfect backdrop quintessential in capturing aesthetic shots that create lasting memories.

 

 

Apart from providing creative inspiration to those on the hunt for their next OOTD post, the planted walls that adorn Orchard Central’s rooftop serve to complement and create the atmosphere for alfresco dining as well as to substantially cool the area.

 

Designed by renowned architectural industrial design firm, DP Architects, arrive at this quaint spot simply by taking the elevator to level 11 to find your best angle for a stunning shot!

 

Tip: Hoping to get that glowing golden hour selfie? Sunlight is a tricky factor that can ruin photos by over-highlighting brightly lit areas. Therefore, it’s better to have a slightly underexposed photo that can be edited after. To do this, simply tap and hold the brightest area of your phone, which locks in the focus and exposure.
