Introduction: My Clients are Awesome

While working on a project one day, my makeup artist-who's been roped into countless shoots with me-excitedly exclaimed that my clients were superb. They were generous, cooperative and simply a joy to work with. I couldn't help but smile and tell her it wasn't just luck; it was by design. I carefully filter my clients, prioritising those who take the time to read the important information on my website. If I notice someone hasn't bothered to do that, I might stop replying or give them less priority-like a polite version of ghosting, but with a purpose.

Since my response speed isn't exactly lightning fast, those who truly want me to capture their moments are the ones who persist, sometimes even sending a friendly nudge after I've been distracted by something shiny (or maybe just a "meow" from the sexy cat below my flat). And that's how I end up working with some of the most extraordinary people-proof that patience is a virtue.

I may not have a flood of projects every month, but the ones I do have are with great individuals who make every shoot memorable and who don't mind waiting a tad longer for it.

Great People; Extraordinary Experiences

It's a phenomenal experience working with great people to create corporate portraits. There were times when I didn't even know whom I was shooting until someone screamed upon looking at the pictures.

They were people highly recognised in their own industry, except that I had been spending all my time working on my photography instead of exploring the world.

In a way, this helped my photography a lot for I was able to treat everyone the same without feeling any pressure.

Ethan Leslie Leong

Environmental/editorial photography for Ethan Leslie Leong


Ethan Leslie Leong, the entrepreneur whom I was warned about right before the corporate shoot that he wasn't someone easy to be handled, proved that he was filled with graciousness.

Truth be told, towards a new photographer, he was more than patient and respectful.

He had great charisma and he was definitely someone extremely seasoned in front of the camera. He smiled confidently and charmingly, such that most of the portraits turned out like a magazine shoot.

Amazingly, he was creative as well. He made the extra effort even for a low-budget photography project that I suspected he was simply lending a helping hand to.

He also shared a bit about his life. He became successful by starting his career early without much education. He was more than willing to help and inspire people.

My biggest regret was that my client and I were in a rush to another venue that I forgot to try the drinks he had made for me. It was definitely a priceless one.

Tommy Wee

Tommy Wee, the content director was not only known to be witty but also extremely charming.

I arrived at the venue earlier. He and his wife happened to see me and invited me to go up before my client's team reached. I initially thought they were both celebrities as I was stunned by their appearances. They played good hosts.

I had a great chat with Tommy while my clients were dolling up the place for the corporate shoot. It was on that day when I first heard about Netflix as he was very excited about the news of its invention. Among most other popular people I had worked with, I felt more relaxed with Tommy, probably because of the way he conversed. That was the reason why I didn't expect to be the Oppa of so many well-learned girls.

I felt very connected to him, but I stayed some distance away because he was my client's client. I could have learned more from him.

Angie Mui (Framing Angie)

Corporate photography for Angie Mui


Angie Mui was the queen of framing. She would put any item of any size inside a tailor-made frame specially designed for the owner. The frame was designed to also suit the interior where it would be placed on. She was featured in many copies of the Expat Living magazines.

Among my clients, Angie's working style resonated to me the most. We both loved customising unique and meaningful things instead of doing boring things that others could easily do for the mass market. Nevertheless, she was far more established than me in all aspects of life, including interpersonal relationships.

She hired me to take some corporate and home lifestyle portraits, and interior pictures for her although she could have gotten a free photoshoot from the magazine's in-house photography team. Her reason was that she wanted to have full control of the photographs used.

She held the charisma of a professional fashion model. She was great in her expression and she could get into a new pose within a few seconds. She shared that her yearly creative corporate photoshoot for her business had helped to train her in her modelling skill.

Halfway through the first day of the photoshoot at her place, she highlighted that I had used a word wrongly on one of my photo albums' write-ups. I was sure that she had gone through most pages on my website. This was the reason why she was my dream type of client who would make me smile to sleep because of her appreciation.

She cooked personally for me for once and invited me over to her family and friends' gatherings a few times, getting to know her partner and son who was also a photographer. My biggest regret was that I wasn't a fan of social gatherings and thus I was quite awkward talking to her guests.

Saul George Raccah

Working with Saul for his daughter's birthday party on a yacht was an absolute pleasure and it turned out to be an experience that left a lasting impression. From our initial interaction, Saul displayed a level of friendliness and respect that set the tone for our collaboration.

Unlike many clients, Saul didn't attempt to haggle over my photography rates, even though the nature of the event meant a considerable investment of time and effort. Understanding the potential risks involved for my camera in a high-energy, dynamic setting, I also quoted an extra fee, which he accepted without any hesitation or negotiation, respecting the listed package.

Saul's thoughtfulness went beyond the photography logistics. He took the time to inquire about my drink preferences and even asked about any food allergies, as he planned to prepare food for the yacht trip. His attention to detail was evident when he personally handled the submission of particulars to the yacht company, following their standard protocol.

Initially, Saul's kindness almost seemed too good to be true, prompting momentary suspicion until he paid the deposit, proving the authenticity of his intentions. Even when he made a small error in the deposit amount, which I clarified just for transparency, he rectified it promptly with an additional amount and apologised in a cute message.

Saul's meticulous planning for the birthday party was noteworthy. He ensured a balanced ratio of adults to supervise the kids, allowing me to focus on my photography responsibilities during the event. His level of respect extended to his helper, whom he introduced as "auntie", showcasing a genuine and considerate attitude.

Communication with Saul was exceptional, surpassing expectations. He exuded confidence and an assurance that he could handle anything, making the entire experience feel safe and secure. Meeting him in person, I was mesmerised by his charm and genuine nature.

During the event, Saul and his family were incredibly welcoming, creating a positive atmosphere. Despite my offer to assist with heavy loads, Saul insisted on managing it himself. After the shoot, his kindness extended further when he insisted on paying for a taxi to ensure my safe journey home, a gesture that reflected his generosity.

Even after the celebration continued at home, Saul checked my location to ensure I reached home safely, treating me like part of his family. During our chat, I shared with him about the sunburn on my skin and he showed great concern, to the extent that I was super worried he would want to compensate me for it. I had to quickly assure him that I was fine.

Days later, when the topic of photo privacy arose, Saul, despite missing the details initially, swiftly acknowledged and rectified the oversight by immediately transferring the privacy fee, instead of pushing blame on me. He insisted on fairness and a commitment to ensuring my efforts were justly compensated.

Saul's genuine nature, generosity and respect made him one of the best clients I've ever had the pleasure of working with. The experience served as a valuable lesson to enlighten me on the definition of friendship. His kindness was a big contrast from some so-called friends who were well-to-do and yet had been taking advantage of me when I was still struggling with my life.

How I Become a Master at Attracting Quality Clients

  1. Straightforward Approach:

    When it comes to photography, I believe in being honest and upfront with my clients. If there's an issue with the lighting or the pose, I'll let them know. Of course, I know how to deliver the truth in a way that won't hurt their feelings. After all, honesty is the best policy.

  2. Selective Clientele:

    I've learned that not every client is a good fit for my photography style. That's why I take the time to get to know my clients and make sure we're on the same page before taking on a project. It's like finding the perfect puzzle piece that fits just right.

  3. Commitment to Excellence:

    I take pride in my work and won't settle for anything less than perfection. If I'm not 100% confident in my ability to deliver top-quality photos, I won't take on the job. It's not worth risking my reputation or my clients' satisfaction.

  4. Self-Care:

    To perform at my best, I make sure to take care of myself both physically and mentally. I know my limits and make adjustments to my diet and schedule as needed. That way, I can focus on creating amazing photos for my clients without sacrificing my own well-being.

  5. Balanced Workload:

    As a one-person show, it can be challenging to juggle everything at once. But I've learned to manage my workload and prioritise my tasks effectively. I'll do everything to not compromise the quality of my work. After all, good things come to those who can balance it all.

  6. Artistic Vision:

    I'm not just a photographer, I'm an artist with a unique vision. I pour my heart and soul into every project, striving to create something special and meaningful for each client. It's not just about taking a picture, it's about capturing the essence of the moment and turning it into a work of art.

  7. My Website is a Work of Art:

    I take my online presence seriously and my website reflects that. I've spent thousands of hours creating a site that's informative and easy to navigate, and I constantly added new content. It's not just about showing off my portfolio; it's also about educating potential clients about my process, Pricing and philosophy. When they reach out to me, they already know what to expect and are excited to work with me.

How I Qualify My Clients

Just as clients choose photographers, photographers do choose their clients too. My experience tells me not all money can be earned. Dealing with a problematic client can result in a huge loss of time and energy; it does not worth it. Besides, good clients can build a rapport with me easier, so that I can produce better work.

I spend more time and effort than most other photographers on every photography project. Therefore, I can only take up a limited number of photoshoots per month. My target audiences are good clients who appreciate photography and want to obtain high-quality images.

As a photographer, it's crucial to work with the right clients to ensure a successful and fulfilling experience for both parties.

Here are some of the things I look out for:

  1. Clients who have unrealistic expectations:

    I don't work with clients who have unrealistic expectations. If their requests go beyond my skill set or comfort zone, I won't hesitate to turn them away. I must have a clear understanding of what my clients want but I also need to be realistic about what I can deliver.

  2. Clients who have unrealistic deadlines for the final images:

    I prioritise delivering high-quality work and clients with unreasonable expectations of a quick turnaround may not be a good fit for me. Rushing the process can compromise the final product and create unnecessary stress, which is something I want to avoid.

  3. Clients who are not willing to pay a fair price for services and expenses:

    I value my time and expertise, so clients who aren't willing to pay a fair price for my services and expenses won't work out. I'm always transparent with my pricing and I won't tolerate any attempts to negotiate for lower prices or free services. After all, time is money! I need to sustain the quality of my work and my photography business.

  4. Clients who want to use the images or services for something I'm not comfortable with:

    I ain't willing to cross any lines when it comes to my work, so I need to avoid clients who want to use my images or services for illegal or unethical activities, promote hate speech or discrimination, or push controversial medical products or services. That's a no-go zone for me, both personally and professionally.

  5. Clients who don't appreciate or undermine professional photography:

    When it comes to professional photography, I take it real serious. If a client doesn't appreciate or undermine my craft, they're not gonna work with me. I put my heart and soul into my work, and I want to work with clients who appreciate my artistic vision and respect my talent.

  6. Clients who have a history of not following through on their commitments:

    I have got no time for clients who have a history of flaking out on their commitments. That means clients who have cancelled photoshoots or not paid the photography fees on time. I need clients who are reliable and trustworthy, plain and simple.

  7. Clients who are not willing to provide a deposit:

    Another thing I'm firm about is requiring a deposit from clients. It's just a way for me to ensure that my effort (e.g. providing consultation), time and services are secured, and to avoid any last-minute cancellations. So if a client isn't willing to provide a deposit, it's unlikely that we'll be able to work together.

  8. Clients who are not easy to work with:

    When it comes to clients, I'm all about keeping things chill. I love working with folks who vibe with my style and show some respect for my precious time. I mean, come on, every photoshoot needs some serious talk and planning to get on the same wavelength. So, if I encounter a client who's giving me radio silence or being a royal pain in the rear end, I might have to politely decline their offer. After all, who needs that kind of drama and stress?

Overall, I go through great lengths to qualify my clients to ensure a successful and fulfilling experience for both parties. By doing so, I can create a positive and sustainable working relationship with my clients.

FAQ

How do you choose clients to feature on this page?
This page started with friends who were kind enough to let me practise photography on them. As my photography developed, I added people and companies who hired me for photography projects. The list is not complete because I have not always been good at keeping my records updated. I may also leave out some names to keep the page clean. So if you have worked with me but don't see your name here, please don't take it personally.
Can I be featured on your clients' page if I hire you for a project?
Yes. If you have worked with me and are happy to be featured, I would be glad to include you. I especially appreciate clients who respect my work, communicate well and make the collaboration enjoyable.
What type of projects do you typically collaborate on with clients?
I work on many types of photography projects, including portraits, events, weddings, corporate photography, interiors, real estate, branding, dating profile photography and other personalised projects.
How can I get in touch with you to discuss a potential project?
You can contact me through my contact page. Before contacting me, I recommend browsing through my website first. You can learn more about my photography style, services, rates and the way I work. This will also help you decide whether I am the right photographer for your project.
Can we take a photo together during the shoot?
Sure, you can ask. During a shoot, however, I am usually very focused on my work. I can get so involved in photographing that I sometimes forget everything else around me. As for how I look after a long shoot, let's just say the camera usually gets the better side of me.
Is there a specific theme or style you look for in client projects?
Not really. I enjoy working on different types of projects. I especially like projects with a clear idea, some personality or something different from the usual. However, a simple portrait or straightforward corporate assignment can be just as enjoyable when there is a good reason behind it.
Do you only feature corporate clients, or do you include personal projects too?
I feature both personal and corporate clients. However, my current work is mainly focused on paid photography assignments. I used to do more personal projects when I had more time, but running a photography business takes up much of that time now.
What are some kind things clients have done for you?
I have been lucky to meet many thoughtful clients. A company once ordered shark's fin soup for me during a gala dinner even though I had already told them not to prepare food for me. A hotel guest gave me a copy of National Geographic because he knew I loved photography. A couple treated me to champagne after a portrait shoot. I have also received dinner treats and even had a family ask a waitress to bring me a chair so I could rest during an event. Some clients have even tipped me before the shoot started. These things may seem small, but they mean a lot to me. I am genuinely grateful for the kindness.
Which is the most generous group of clients?
So far, I have received tips from more foreign clients than local clients. Perhaps tipping is simply more common in some countries. That said, generosity is not limited to tips. Some corporate clients have provided good meals during events, including hotel buffets. I don't expect a tip from corporate clients because the person contacting me is often not the person making the financial decisions. Good food, however, is always appreciated after several hours of photography.
Do you have clients who are unsatisfied with your services?
Yes, of course. I am human, and not every project goes perfectly. Not every client and photographer will have the same expectations or working style. I try to work with clients who are a good fit, but I don't get everything right every time. If you are curious about some of my more difficult experiences, you can read Clients From Hell.
Why don't some photographers like taking jobs from friends or relatives?
Money can make relationships complicated. Friends or relatives may expect a special discount because of the relationship. The photographer may also feel uncomfortable charging the normal rate even when the job takes just as much time and effort. If expectations are not clear from the beginning, both sides can end up feeling uncomfortable. Sometimes it is better to keep friendship and business separate.
