Where the building and the garden become the same thing. Shot in Singapore.
Gardens by the Bay occupies 101 hectares in the Marina Bay area of central Singapore, reclaimed from the sea and opened in 2012. This image was made from ground level inside one of the conservatories, looking up through the structure. What drew me to this angle was the way the architecture and the greenery were inseparable — the steel and glass framing the plants, the plants softening the steel.
The conservatories at Gardens by the Bay are engineering projects as much as horticultural ones, designed to maintain specific climates for plants from the Mediterranean and semi-arid tropics. From the inside, the scale is hard to register at first — the canopy is high, the light diffuse, the geometry complex. This perspective tries to hold all of that at once: the upward reach of the structure, the density of the flora, the way the two systems support each other.
In your space, this print brings the feeling of being inside something that was built to make you look up.
Perfect For:
Architecture and botanical photography collectors
Spaces with green accents or biophilic design elements
Living rooms, offices, or atriums where vertical scale reads well
Singapore enthusiasts and Southeast Asia travellers
Interiors with a contemporary or tropical-modern aesthetic
Anyone who finds the intersection of nature and engineering compelling
Professionally printed on premium archival paper to preserve the layered greens of the flora and the structural geometry of the conservatory above.

About
Richard Lam
Richard Lam is a Vancouver-based photographer and filmmaker whose work captures the quiet beauty of fleeting moments. With over a decade behind the camera, his photography is rooted in a deep sense of curiosity, presence, and human connection.
What began as a personal practice—documenting everyday moments to hold onto how they felt—quickly evolved into a creative calling. Richard eventually left a corporate career to pursue storytelling full-time, combining his marketing background with a thoughtful, visual approach to narrative.
His prints are the result of years spent traveling, observing, and refining his craft. Each image is a reflection of Richard’s belief that photography has the power to slow us down, help us see more clearly, and connect us to something greater than ourselves.
Each print comes with a numbered holographic certificate of authenticity digitally signed by the artist to provide limited edition provenance.

Great stuff! The delivery of the print was fast and arrived tucked happily away into a safe container protecting it from the elements, bends, rips, etc. The colours of the print POP and I'd highly recommend literally all of Richard's work.
