Clients' Testimonials
"I first worked with Skai in 2017 and it was my first professional photoshoot. I remember being nervous and unsure about poses but he was very patient and understanding. He did not get upset or angry when I was not able to portray the concept he initially wanted but instead tried his best to work with what I was comfortable with.
His friendly character made the photoshoot very smooth and I had a second recent shoot with him. His professionalism and passion still impresses me after three good years. Despite trying implied for the first time, I was in good hands and Skai never laid a hand on me. He treated me with a lot of respect and always made sure I was comfortable with the photos taken. I enjoyed shooting with him and will recommend him to others!"- Cheryl Alicia Chua

I have been working in the field for over a decade and have developed a unique style that combines technical skill with a strong sense of creativity.

Skai's Vision in Art Photography
My vision as an art photographer is to uplift and empower individuals - especially women - through my work. I believe art should celebrate strength, beauty, and individuality, and I aim to create pieces that are both visually stunning and thought-provoking. For me, art photography is not about following conventions but about breaking boundaries and expressing innermost thoughts and emotions.
I strive to capture the human body with respect, artistry, and emotional resonance. Using both natural and artificial light, I craft evocative images that tell stories and convey emotions. Post-processing allows me to refine each piece into a finished artwork. Ultimately, my goal is to inspire appreciation for beauty, encourage self-expression, and have a positive impact on people's lives through art.
Skai's Journey as an Art Photographer
My journey into art photography began when I discovered artistic images on social media that deeply moved me. Early on, aspiring models approached me for glamour and boudoir shoots, which introduced me to the art genre. Given Singapore's conservative environment, I set up makeshift studios to ensure privacy and professionalism. At first, working with models who revealed more skin felt unfamiliar, but I quickly realised my priority was to create meaningful artwork.
Over time, I experimented with styles and techniques, learning that art photography requires careful planning, creativity, and professionalism to distinguish itself from mere glamour. I grew to love the process - from conceptualisation to final photos - and the trust clients placed in me during intimate shoots. Art photography has taught me patience, problem-solving, and the importance of vulnerability, helping me connect with people on a deeper level. Today, I am recognised for a bespoke, stylish approach that has helped me build a high-end brand rooted in authenticity and artistry.

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.
