"Engaged Skai for a fitness indoor photoshoot and he was great! Skai is really patient and understanding, especially when I can be a demanding clientzilla (which I did not turn into) because of how professional and attentive he was. Skai was easy to speak with, which made the whole process smooth as we spoke through our expectation and reality at the beginning. He was very prompt in delivering the contact sheet and final images. Will recommend him :)"- Isabel Yeo, Urban Active Fitness

Editorial photography, by its very essence, is an avenue for storytelling. It can be a visual journey that conveys a message, an emotion or a narrative, all of which captivate the viewer.
Creativity becomes the lifeblood of this endeavour. Each shoot is a canvas, waiting for a unique story to unfold and it's the task of the photographer to craft images that resonate and connect.

How Skai Began Doing Editorial Photography
I started by doing portrait shoots and showcasing my growing portfolio online. As my body of work expanded, clients began to take notice, approaching me not only for portraits but also for event and interior shoots.
One of my early forays into editorial photography was a significant milestone. An interior company, looking to feature their work in a magazine, reached out to me for a photoshoot that would highlight their creations. This project not only fuelled my enthusiasm but also introduced me to the intricacies of shooting for publications.
The story continued to evolve as an advertising company sought my expertise for a multi-faceted project encompassing portraits, product photography and interior shots. This multifaceted endeavour marked a turning point, demonstrating my capacity to handle a diverse range of photography needs.
Soon, clients began approaching me specifically for editorial portrait shoots, with a focus on images intended for interviews and marketing purposes within magazines.
It was a nervous start, recognising the importance of these images, but with every shutter click, I poured my best efforts into each editorial project, determined to create visuals that would make a mark in the world of publications.

It's not just about capturing their images but also the opportunity to learn from their experiences and soak in their positive energy. What's truly heartwarming is when these accomplished figures treat me not as a mere photographer but as a friend. It's a testament that in this world, kindness transcends wealth and this inspires me. This connection, even without tangible gains beyond friendship and my standard photography fee, is something I cherish deeply.
