Photo Hunt Guide Thailand. Improve Your Photography
Improve your photography in a team building event! Our corporate photography hunts in Thailand and Singapore will get your teams out and about, travelling around your host city and seeing famous landmarks – while facing numerous photographic challenges. Team up and get tips from our professional photographer before you venture outside to explore.
Explore surroundings through a series of photographs, and develop photographic skills. Although similar to treasure and scavenger hunts – this event is all about photography. The rules are simple: snap as many photos as you can while completing a series of ridiculous challenges. The results? A collection of hilarious and potentially blackmail-worthy memories.
Team building in Bangkok is not only enjoyable, but also affordable. We have many options that suit your budget, schedule, and preferences. You can choose from different activities, locations, and durations. We can even customise your itinerary to fit your goals and needs.
Our photo Hunt starts by giving each team a series of high-quality photographs taken at different locations around Thailand or Singapore. Participants are required to find these locations with the aid of a map – using the local Bangkok transportation. Teams attempt to replicate each image by judging perspectives and camera positions etc.
Photo Hunt Thailand Locations
Designated locations may include: temples, shopping centres, palaces, museums, parks to the local pub! Using the photographs as clues and support from the locals, team members will need to work together to identify the location. This is a fun activity if you plan to travel in Thailand!
Candid Camera Street Photography Thailand
An alternate concept to this fun photography event is our street photography Thailand challenge. Teams make their way to the designated locations and take photographs based around street photography! You are also given a set of clues to guide you into developing an awesome portfolio of images.
Photo Hunt Thailand Prizes and Awards
Awards could range from a trophy to a digital camera! Everyone gets to take home the images they shot throughout the day. Images are judged by our professional photographers.
But I Don’t Have a Camera for the Photo Hunt!
Most people today have some form of camera. We can help set it up before booking the event. You can even use your mobile phones! They can capture amazing photos. For action shots use the ‘Activate Burst Mode’. Ideal for images where your subject is moving fast. Your iPhone will take around ten photos per second while you hold down the shutter button. As we are Apple users we have based the above on our iPhones. For Android check the app. or settings.
Learn How to Take a Candid Photo
What is candid photography? A candid photograph is an image captured without the subject posing. It’s an unplanned moment from the subject’s perspective. To be truly inconspicuous shoot from the hip. Not only does this give you a new perspective, but you also won’t need to worry about being seen.
Street Photography Tips for this Event
Use a wide-angle lens so you can still capture your subjects without necessarily pointing your camera directly at them. With a wide-angle lens, you’re pretty sure to get your subject in the shot. When shooting people you don’t know – Smile! This will enable your subjects to become more relaxed. You don’t need to worry so much about what they are thinking. Even better – if you’re unsure ask for permission. If someone looks interesting – tell them and ask for a portrait. Most people will say yes.

Best Cameras for Street Photography
Just about any camera can be used to create awesome street photography – including old cameras from the film era. The best camera is the one that works to your photographic style and gets that shot. What one person considers as the best camera may not be for you. You don’t need large DSLRs to improve your photography!
Street Photography Laws in Thailand
As a general rule it is legal to shoot in a public place. You not need a model release form or expressed consent. However, use some common sense. If a person requires privacy, or a guardian doesn’t consent to photograph their children, respect their wishes and move on. If you’re in a shopping centre, hospital, or amusement park etc which is open to the public, it doesn’t make it public property for you to shoot in. If security guards ask you to stop shooting then stop.
Conclusion
It’s like the Bangkok Amazing Race and the rules are simple: snap as many photos as you can while completing a series of ridiculous challenges. The results? A collection of hilarious and potentially blackmail-worthy memories.
