When photographer Stefen Chow took his young daughter to a playground for the first time, he was struck by her visceral reaction to the new surroundings. To better understand her interaction with these spaces and to correct his own detachment from them, Chow attached a camera to a drone and launched an aerial photography project about Singapore's playgrounds. In this personal talk, he explains how examining everyday spaces from a new angle can help us understand and appreciate them better.
