He Ruiming| September 03, 01:00 AM

As part of one of Mothership.sg‘s epic collaborations with some amazing creative Singaporeans during this historic election season, these photographs are selected from the many beautiful ones that were taken by a team of professional photographers led by @singaporeson Edwin Koo. Some of these professional photographers were involved in a election photo book four years ago – GE2011: We Were There.

In the lead-up to polling day, we curate their gorgeous photos daily and share them with our readers each night.
