Lifestyle Personality Photoshoot with Michael Tan
Listed in portrait category: Lifestyle









By the time we moved into this set, Michael had fully settled into the shoot. The momentum was real—and this part wasn't about styling or backdrops. It was about energy. We set out to capture his quirky, unfiltered side, and he absolutely delivered. Every frame felt alive.
The idea was simple: get Michael to do things that weren't too "model-like" or posed, but real and funny—things that would catch people off guard in the best way. I started tossing him random suggestions, expecting maybe a chuckle or a half-hearted attempt… but he didn't hold back. He dived straight in and nailed every single one. At one point, he even borrowed a broom from a nearby (100 metres away) cleaner and started riding it like it was part of a Halloween fashion campaign. I was stunned—in a good way. It was such a refreshing moment that said a lot about who he is.
What stood out most during this set wasn't just Michael's playfulness—it was how completely at ease he was in his own skin. There's a rare kind of intelligence and self-assurance in him that made even the silliest moments feel natural. He didn't care about looking polished or posed—because his sense of self runs far deeper than appearances. That kind of quiet confidence is rare. And honestly, incredibly inspiring.
We talked throughout—about life, personality, ambition, and all the in-betweens that make people fascinating. And with each exchange, it became clear: Michael's presence isn't just photogenic, it's insightful, layered, and alive. The session felt less like a shoot and more like discovering someone who genuinely lights up the space they're in.
