Testimonials: What Clients Say about Skai

I enjoyed shooting with him and will recommend him to others!"- Cheryl Alicia Chua

I felt very comfortable working with him as he remains professional throughout the whole session. Go read his terms and conditions: he never touch the model. He will just verbally instruct u instead. He's also very receptive to my feedbacks and give me freedom to work on the poses I wanted to try. Overall, it was a very good experience and the results were amazing!

Skai's Vision & Goals for Art Photography
As an art photographer, my vision is to uplift and empower women through my art. I strongly believe that women are underrepresented in the art world, and I want to change that by capturing their strength, beauty and individuality through my lens.
My ultimate goal is to create artwork that is not only visually stunning but also unique and thought-provoking. I aim to push boundaries and break free from the traditional norms of art photography. I firmly believe that art should be an expression of one's innermost thoughts and emotions, and that is precisely what I strive to accomplish through my work.
As a male artist, I aspire to prove to the world that decent male photographers exist and that we can produce tasteful and meaningful art. The art world has become overwhelmed with insipid and distasteful works, and I want to help people recognize the true essence of art.
Through my art photography, I want to encourage people to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us in the world. I want to capture those fleeting moments that often go unnoticed and transform them into pieces of art that people can admire and cherish for years to come. Ultimately, my ultimate objective is to have a positive impact on people's lives through my artwork and inspire others to do the same.
How Skai Began Doing Art Photoshoots
Skai's journey into art photography began when he stumbled upon various artistic photographs on social media platforms. As he gazed at each one of them, he was mesmerised by how they evoked emotions in him, and how they captured the essence of the subject matter so vividly. It's crazy how some models could be fully clothed and still look unappealing in pictures, while others with barely any clothes on could look like an absolute masterpiece.
Initially, Skai started doing art photography with glamour and boudoir genres when aspiring models approached him during his early days as a photographer. However, as Singapore was still quite conservative, outdoor art shoots were not feasible. This led Skai to start setting up makeshift studios, ensuring privacy for the models and allowing him to create his art in a more controlled environment.
At first, Skai felt a bit awkward as his models were showing a lot of skin, and some were even unclothed. However, he eventually got used to it as he realised that his main priority was to create great artwork, and he didn't want anything to affect the quality of the art photos.
Art photography became a way for him to express himself, and he delved deeper into it as he continued to experiment with different styles and techniques. Skai found that art photography required careful planning, a high level of professionalism, and an unbridled sense of creativity to create beautiful art that people could relate to, without it appearing like pornography.
Today, Skai is a prominent figure in the art photography scene in Singapore, known for his bespoke and stylish approach. He has managed to create a high-end brand for himself, thanks to his creativity and professionalism. His journey into art photography is a testament to the fact that passion and hard work can lead to great success in any field.

How Distasteful Art Work can Harm You
There are many girls who would do art photoshoots with hobbyist photographers whose work leans towards the distasteful side. Unfortunately, these girls aren't experienced enough to judge the quality of the artwork.
If you upload distasteful artwork online as a model, there can be several potential negative outcomes:
- Damage to reputation: The distasteful artwork can harm your reputation and credibility as a model. It can be viewed as unprofessional and may make it more difficult to secure future modelling jobs.
- Loss of followers or clients: Some of your followers or clients may unfollow or stop working with you due to the distasteful artwork.
- Negative feedback or criticism: You may receive negative feedback or criticism from your followers, potential clients and other industry professionals. This can be damaging to your self-esteem and can make it difficult to continue working as a model.
- Rumours and accusations: The internet has many low-life people who will spread rumours and accusations about you, based on the distasteful nature of the artwork, which can further damage your reputation and credibility.
- Harassment: It may attract unwanted attention from ill-minded individuals who may misinterpret your character and may harass you.
In summary, if you upload distasteful artwork online as a model, it can harm your reputation and credibility, lead to loss of followers or clients, negative feedback or criticism, spreading of rumours and accusations and may lead to harassment from ill-minded individuals who misinterpret your character.
Challenges of Doing Art Photoshoots
Art photography can be a challenging field for several reasons:
- Technical skill: Creating high-quality photographs requires a mastery of technical skills such as composition, lighting and post-processing. These skills take time and practice to develop, and even experienced photographers must continue to learn and improve.
- Telling a story: Many art photographers aim to tell a story or convey a message through their photographs. This can be difficult, as it requires a deep understanding of the subject matter, as well as the ability to communicate complex ideas in a visually interesting way.
- Criticism and rejection: As with any art form, art photographers must be prepared for criticism and rejection. Rejection is part of the creative process and it can be difficult to hear negative feedback about work that is deeply personal.
- Trust issues from clients: Some clients may have trust issues, which can make it difficult to establish a good working relationship. This may be due to the "black sheep" in the photography industry who have given the industry a bad reputation by taking advantage of young models, not delivering on their promises or providing poor service.
- Confidentiality: Some clients may have confidentiality concerns, which can make it difficult to share or exhibit photographs.
- Low confidence: Some clients may have low confidence in their own appearance, which can make it difficult to create a photograph that they are happy with.
- Lack of appreciation of high-quality photographs: Some people may not fully understand or appreciate the value of high-quality photographs, which can make it difficult to find customers who are willing to pay for them.
- Balancing creativity and commercial aspect: Many photographers also have to balance the creative and commercial aspects of their work. It can be challenging to create work that is true to your vision while also appealing to a broader audience.
In summary, art photography can be challenging because of the technical skill required, the ability to tell a story, dealing with criticism and rejection, trust issues from clients due to "black sheep" in the photography industry, confidentiality concerns, low confidence from clients, lack of appreciation of high-quality photographs and balancing the creative and commercial aspects of the work.

How to Plan for a Successful Art Photoshoot
If you're planning an art photoshoot in Singapore with me, there are a few key steps you should follow to ensure that the photoshoot is a success:
- Define your vision: Before you begin, it's important to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve with the photoshoot. Are you looking for portrait shots, implied nude shots or a mix of both? It's important to discuss this with the photographer beforehand so they can help you achieve the look you're after.
- Choose a location: Indoor studio photoshoots are often a good choice for art photography as they offer control over lighting, backgrounds, privacy and other elements. You should discuss the location with me and I will be able to guide you on what works best for the look you're after.
- Plan your wardrobe: Your wardrobe is an important part of your art photoshoot and it's important to plan it carefully. You should discuss this with me, and it can be helpful to share pictures of what you own to get my input. If you're going for an implied nude or sexy look, keep in mind that less is often more.
- Preparation: It's important to arrive at the photoshoot prepared and ready to go. This means being on time and having hair and makeup done to your satisfaction. You should also be mindful of your posture and how you're positioning your body, as this can have a big impact on the final images.
- Trust the photographer: The best art photoshoots often happen when the model trusts the photographer and lets him guide the shoot. This means allowing me to make suggestions and decisions and being open to trying new things. I have the experience and skills to create beautiful images, and by working together, you can achieve stunning results.

Studios
-
Advantages:
- Controlled lighting: Studios are equipped with professional lighting equipment that can be adjusted to create the desired mood and atmosphere for the photoshoot. This allows the photographer to achieve a high level of control over the lighting, which is essential for creating stunning art photos.
- Privacy: Doing an art photoshoot in a studio provides more privacy and intimacy compared to doing it in a public space. This is especially important for art photoshoots that involve nudity or implied nudity, where a private and secure environment is crucial for the comfort and safety of the model.
- Professional equipment: Studios typically have a range of professional-grade equipment such as backdrops, props and wardrobe options, which can be used to enhance the overall look and feel of the photoshoot. This makes the studio a one-stop-shop for all your photoshoot needs.
- Cost-effective: Doing an art photoshoot in a studio can be more cost-effective than doing it in other locations, as studios typically provide all the necessary equipment, lighting and support, eliminating the need to rent or purchase these items separately.
-
Disadvantages:

- Limited options for backgrounds: Studios typically have a limited number of backgrounds and backdrops, which may limit your options when it comes to setting the scene for your photoshoot.
- Stagnant atmosphere: The atmosphere in a studio can become stale and stagnant after spending a long time indoors, which may affect the creativity and energy of the photoshoot.
- Cost: Renting a studio for an art photoshoot in Singapore can be expensive and this cost may not be within everyone's budget. It's important to weigh the costs and benefits before deciding to do an art photoshoot in a studio.

- Cost-Effective: Outdoor photoshoots are typically less expensive than studio photoshoots, as there are fewer overhead costs associated with setting up lights and other equipment.

- Limited Privacy: Outdoor photoshoots can be limited by the presence of other people, which can be distracting and limit the types of poses and settings you can use.
- Lighting Challenges: Although natural light is often preferred for outdoor photoshoots, it can also be challenging to work with. The harsh sunlight can create unwanted shadows and highlight blemishes, while overcast skies can result in dull and flat lighting.

This can be particularly important for art photoshoots, where natural light can play a crucial role in creating a certain mood or effect.

Wardrobe to Wear for Art Photoshoots
Choosing the right wardrobe for an art photoshoot is an important part of preparing for your session. Art photography is all about self-expression and creativity, so you want to choose outfits that reflect your personal style and help you feel confident and empowered.
Here are a few tips to help you choose the right wardrobe for your art photoshoot:
- Comfort is key: You'll want to choose clothing that you feel comfortable in, as you'll be posing and moving around in it during the shoot. If you're feeling tight, restricted or uncomfortable in your clothes, it will show in your photos.
- Consider the theme: If you're doing a themed photoshoot, your wardrobe should reflect that theme. For example, if you're doing a vintage photoshoot, you might want to wear vintage clothing or accessories.
- Avoid patterns and logos: Bold patterns and logos can be distracting in photos, so it's best to stick with solid colours or simple, understated patterns.
- Think about your skin tone: Certain colours can help to enhance your skin tone in photos, so choose clothing that complements your skin tone. For example, warm skin tones look great in yellow, orange and warm red tones, while cool skin tones look great in blue, green and purples.
- Accessorise wisely: Accessories can be a great way to add some interest to your photos, but be careful not to go overboard. Stick with a few simple, complementary pieces that help to enhance your overall look.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: Finally, remember that art photography is all about self-expression and creativity, so don't be afraid to experiment with different styles and looks. Whether you choose to wear a dress, pants, a skirt or a combination of different items, have fun with it and be true to yourself!
