Lee is a photographer and art director, and his claim to fame are these beautiful photos of Singapore that look so breathtakingly different from what we are familiar with at ground level.

Pretty neat, isn't it?

His photography work with drones are equally awe-inspiring, showing us a bird's eye view of Singapore.

This time, Lee has included human subjects into his photographs, turning Singapore into this dreamy ethereal place of fantasy, giving the surroundings a movie-like quality that is different from the mundane facade of Singapore's city life people experience directly.

Here are some more pictures from a photoshoot he did, overlooking Orchard -- but it feels a lot more like upstate Manhattan, or perhaps the glitzy Big Apple.

Who knows, these photos might help you forget the Singapore you've seen through a familiar lens, and begin seeing her in a more glamourous light.
