The Skai Chan Difference
Start with the purpose
I ask what the photographs are for and discuss your ideas before recommending the setting, styling and scope.
Lighting with intention
I consider the direction and softness of light, how it falls across your features and what it reveals in the background. The lighting approach depends on the brief and selected package.
Allow time for the details
I recommend session time around the photographs we plan to create, allowing for settling in, outfit changes, moving between spots and adjusting the lighting.
A respectful experience
I explain poses verbally and work within the boundaries we discuss. Your feedback helps me understand which suggestions suit you as the session develops.
Planning Your Photography Session
A few decisions help us work out what your session needs.
- What will you use the photographs for?
- Which photographs or styles interest you?
- Would a studio, your own space or an outdoor location suit your ideas?
- How many people, outfits and settings do you want to include?
- What guidance would you find useful before and during the shoot?
You do not need to have everything decided before enquiring. Share what you have in mind so I can help you assess the location, lighting and time needed. If you have questions about posing, preparation or being photographed, I have written about these too.

About Skai - Singapore Portrait & Branding Photographer
The Person Behind the Camera
My interest in portrait photography began when a former colleague sighed about getting older. It got me thinking about how people sometimes become less confident about their appearance as they age. I wondered if I could use photography to help them look more attractive in photographs and, hopefully, regain some of that confidence.
That thought became one of the reasons I pursued portrait photography. Over the years, I've learned how much difference the right lighting, angles and guidance can make. I enjoy helping people discover how good they can look in photographs, especially those who aren't confident in front of the camera.
For me, photography has gradually become more than just creating beautiful images. It's also a way to help people feel better about themselves, appreciate who they are and perhaps see themselves in a different light. I know what it feels like to need encouragement too, and if my photography can make someone feel a little happier or more confident, that means a lot to me.
Helping others feel strong - while I'm still finding mine.
