MINIMALIST Micro Four Thirds Camera & Lens Setup for Singapore Travel Photography

I just got back from a short vacation to Singapore, and this video is not a typical travel photography breakdown. No rigid plans, no chasing photos, just documenting real moments with a Micro Four Thirds camera and a lens choice that pushed me out of my comfort zone.

In this video, I share what actually happened during the trip, how my camera and lenses performed in a busy urban environment, and the unexpected twist that completely changed how I see the 25mm focal length for travel, street, portrait, and everyday photography.

Singapore is a perfect testing ground for street photography, cityscape photography, environmental portraits, and casual travel shooting. But instead of being gear-obsessed, I intentionally slowed down, traveled light, and focused on presence. That mindset ended up teaching me more about photography than I planned.

We talk about why I only brought one camera, why I struggled with 25mm at first, how it slowly started to click for portraits, street photography, scenery, and everyday moments, and why my favorite lens ended up not being used at all on this trip.
