About: Skai the Studio Photographer
Hey there! Skai here, your go-to portrait studio photographer in Singapore, and I'm here to turn your photo dreams into reality with a splash of creativity and a dash of fun.
I used to spend half a day transforming my cluttered living room (thanks to my Mum, the "professional" hoarder) into a photo studio. Dismantling my equipment, including the backdrop and putting all my mum's treasures in place usually took me another two or three hours after each exhausting photography session that usually overrun.
My journey began with high-end portraits where I honed my skills in flash photography. Today, I bring that expertise to every shoot, ensuring you get jaw-dropping photos that capture your unique essence.
Now, I'm not one to settle for the ordinary. Nope, I'm constantly on the prowl for fresh and innovative ways to sprinkle some magic into your photos. I play with ideas, props, lighting and angles. The sky is the limit, but Skai has no limit.
So, if you're after someone as passionate about photography and who'll stop at nothing to create images that'll make your heart skip a beat, then buckle up my friend – you're in for one heck of a ride. Let's team up and make some photography magic happen!
Why Skai is the Premium Choice for Studio Photography
While you've probably seen my studio portfolio and the consistently high-quality work that my past clients love, there's more to my art than what meets the eye. Behind every photo is a deep commitment to excellence, a dedication to personalised service and a constant pursuit of perfection. These elements come together to make my work truly unique—something I take great pride in.
Trust me, it's more than just clicking the shutter button!
- Bespoke for You:
I firmly believe that communication is key. Before every shoot, I engage in a friendly chit-chat with my client to understand his or her unique needs, preferences and personality. This allows me to customise each session to suit their style and vision.
No two clients are the same and I always strive to create something that truly reflects their personality and character. This personalised approach also helps to produce suitable, unique and meaningful photos.
Innovation is at the heart of what I do. I'm constantly exploring new ideas and techniques to create visually striking images that stand out from the crowd. I'm always pushing the boundaries to deliver captivating photos that leave a lasting impression. - Safety & Comfort (No Body Contact):
I understand the importance of creating a comfortable and relaxed environment for my clients. During shoots, I avoid physical contact and instead provide clear verbal instructions to guide poses. My priority is to ensure that my clients feel at ease and confident throughout the session. This approach not only keeps everyone comfortable but also lets clients feel secure and focus on delivering their best performance. Think of it as a dance where I lead with words!
- Customised Light Setup:
I believe in the power of customised lighting setups. Each photoshoot is an opportunity to create something unique, so I take the time to tailor the lighting to suit the mood and concept of the session. Whether it's adjusting the positions and angles of the lights or experimenting with different setups, I'm always striving to push the boundaries and deliver exceptional results. This is different from going to standard studios where lighting is pre-set and the camera is held by a part-timer or student.
- Flattering Light & Styling:
I'm passionate about creating images that not only capture your best self but also enhance your natural beauty. I use soft, professional lighting to flatter every feature, ensuring you look stunning in every photo. Having learned portrait photography from a commercial makeup artist, I pay close attention to styling details—ensuring your outfit and makeup complement your look rather than distract from it. With my expertise, you can be confident that every shot will highlight your natural, smooth complexion—because a beautiful portrait is all about subtle perfection.
- Transparent Pricing & Value-added Services:
My pricing is clear and straightforward—there are no hidden fees or surprises. You'll always know exactly what you're paying for, and in fact, most of my clients end up getting more than what they paid for. This honest approach builds trust and sets clear expectations, ensuring you feel confident in every aspect of your session.
So, if you're looking for studio photography that goes above and beyond, look no further. Trust in my expertise and experience to deliver results that speak for themselves. Because when it comes to capturing your most precious moments, nothing less than the best will suffice.
Skai's Vision & Goals in Studio Photography
As a photographer who is passionate about studio photography, my vision is to create unique and exceptional portraits that stand out from the rest. Unlike outdoor shoots, studio photoshoots offer a controlled environment and similar backdrops, which can result in similar-looking photos. However, I believe that every photoshoot has the potential to be unique and personalised.
For my lighting setup, I believe there's no one-size-fits-all approach. Every theme, subject, pose, angle and outfit requires its own unique lighting setup to truly shine. That's why I always take the time to carefully adjust my studio lighting to best suit the scenario at hand. Whether it's dramatic and moody, soft and romantic, or something in between, I'm dedicated to making sure that the lighting perfectly complements the subject and the vision for the shoot. It's all about creating that perfect atmosphere and bringing out the best in every shot.
With my experience and skills, I strive to capture the best possible shots in the studio. The controlled environment allows me to have full control over the lighting, background and other technical aspects of the shoot. I believe that this makes studio photography easier than outdoor shoots and it gives me the opportunity to create exceptional portraits every time.
How Skai Began Doing Studio Photography
I still remember the day when I first decided to explore portrait photography. I was eager to try it out in different places as I knew that I had to be versatile as a photographer to achieve my goals.
I arranged to collaborate with an aspiring model and makeup artist. But, the challenge was that I needed to find a place to set up my studio. Luckily, my relatives offered to lend me their living room. I was ecstatic and immediately started planning.
On the day of the shoot, I carried all my equipment over, which was quite far from my house. It was an energy-draining task but I knew it was worth it. However, to my dismay, the model was over an hour late. Fortunately, the results were better than I had expected. From then on, I didn't give up grabbing every opportunity to set up a makeshift studio for my shoots.
That first shoot was just the beginning and I continue to strive to improve and create unique and captivating studio work.
Why Skai Loves Doing Studio Photography
Whenever I'm ready for a photo studio shoot, I feel like a kid in a candy store with complete control over the lighting, background and overall ambience of the shoot. With this, I can explore my creativity and experiment with different lighting setups to achieve stunning shots that capture my client's unique personality.
Unlike outdoor shoots, where weather and other external factors can play spoilsport, I don't have to worry about a thing in the studio. Come rain or shine, day or night, I can work my magic and produce high-quality results that speak volumes.
Moreover, working in a studio provides me with a wider range of equipment and props to work with. I can set up a variety of backdrops, use different lighting techniques and incorporate unique props and accessories to create something truly extraordinary and one-of-a-kind.
Studio photography also offers the added advantage of privacy. Some clients may feel uneasy or intimidated when shooting in public spaces, and this is where a studio can work wonders. It provides a safe, private and comfortable environment where my clients can feel at ease and be themselves, leading to more natural, authentic and beautiful shots.
Skai's Studio Photography Experiences
Most professional photographers in Singapore don't own a studio, obviously due to high rental fees. The risk is too high for such an inconsistent job. Besides, the studio may not be fully utilised, unless the photographer is so popular that he can turn down other on-location jobs and simply focus on requests for studio shoots.
Most of the time, I personally prefer doing outdoor photoshoot to a studio photoshoot. That's where I can distinguish myself from most other photographers because I do carry and use professional lighting to create more impactful work that will differentiate them from others' work.
Nevertheless, there're demands for studio photoshoots, especially during seasons with extreme bad weather.
-
Borrowed living room I did my first studio shoot in the living room of my relative's place. It was a 4-room HDB flat but since it was a corner unit, it was reasonably big. I used the light-coloured wall as a backdrop and lay a white cloth on the ground. I was using only an off-camera speedlite to pair it with the window light on the other side. -
Dance studio My second studio shoot experience was at a dance studio. The owner bought a (quite) white piece of cloth to cover the wall. I kept my speedlite mounted on top of my camera. -
Makeup artist's studio Then, I had an impromptu one at a makeup artist's studio, against the white wall. I used bounced flash as well. -
Reflector at home I tried using a small reflector as a backdrop and did a close-up selfie shoot at my house. -
Gym My friends were running a gym chain and I used one of the outlets near my house to set up my makeshift studio. I used the black wall and lay a piece of black cloth over the ground. By then, with the aid of a studio strobe, I was able to produce more drastic work. I had two shoots there. -
Meeting room My next studio shoot was done in a small meeting room. I used the projector screen as a backdrop. By then, I had two studio strobes but I set up only one due to time constraints. -
Gym As I had an on-location studio shoot at a residential place, I bought my backdrop system with a white backdrop and had a test shoot at the gym again to gauge my capability to work with a white backdrop. -
3-room HDB flat Next, with the new backdrop system, I set up a makeshift studio at an old 3-room HDB flat but the owner had the wall between the living room and bedroom knocked down and thus wider. The amount of equipment that I brought along to set up the makeshift studios for the full-body shot scared me as well. -
HDB corridor I did a few half-body shoots at my corridor. There was once when I was in a rush, I set up a makeshift studio at my house for a quick headshot before going outdoors for the main shoot. -
Big hall Then, I worked on a catalogue shoot with the full setup at a big hall. I started to encounter more difficulties and was thus inspired to improve and upgrade my equipment. -
Makeup artist's studio on a hill I had the experience of setting up the full studio at a makeup artist's studio. I put everything on a trolley and pushed it through a long park and then up the hill. It was far too exhausting. -
Short-Lived Photography Studio at Buona Vista 
I spent nearly $100 and four days doing the painting work by myself. I spent hundreds more bucks buying three new studio strobes and other accessories. Then I moved all my studio equipment over. I made a trip down to set up and do a test shoot to finalise the best layout to utilise the space. I went to Toa Payoh to collect a donated designer bar stool and brought it over.
Unfortunately, the power supply of that part of the building went down and I made four wasted trips to try to settle it. The power outage lasted for over a month and I had to cancel two scheduled studio shoots. Eventually, my friend handed over the place back to the landlord.
Many friends feel pity over the hard work I have spent but it's a great learning experience for me. -
My Home Studio @ Tanjong Pagar 
After my brothers got their own places and moved out, I tried setting up a full-scale makeshift studio in my living room and it exceeded my expectation.
You will be amazed at how a small place can be converted into a studio. Nobody, except for the people (models and makeup artists etc) involved, can tell how small my home studio is.
My home studio can even accommodate two models for a duo shoot. However, similar to most photography studios, the full width of the backdrop is only three metres.
For a small-scale studio photoshoot with two-light, I spend at least two hours on average to get the studio up professionally. I have to move the furniture, and my mum's trophies, sweep the floor, set up the backdrop system, flatten the creases as much as possible and set up the lighting. I need another two hours, depending on the amount of equipment, to keep everything in my exhausted body at a slower pace.
Often, after setting up the studio and before beginning the actual photoshoot, I would be badly drained. The extra hours of hard work and sweat speak for the higher photography rates (additional one-time fee) when compared to my other high-end photoshoot packages.
How Doing Studio Photography has Helped Skai Grow
Doing studio photography has been a transformative journey for me, both personally and professionally. Here's how it has helped me grow:
- Technical Skills: Working in a studio environment has allowed me to hone my technical skills, particularly in lighting and composition. I've learned how to manipulate studio lights to create various effects and moods, expanding my creative repertoire.
- Creativity: Studio photography has provided me with a controlled space to unleash my creativity. I've experimented with different props, backdrops and lighting setups to push the boundaries of my creativity and produce unique and captivating images.
- Problem-Solving: Studio photography often presents challenges, such as equipment malfunctions or unexpected lighting issues. Throughout my photography career, I've set up makeshift studios in various types of spaces, making the best out of what's available to ensure that I can conduct studio shoots. Through facing and overcoming these challenges, I've developed strong problem-solving skills and the ability to think on my feet.
- Professionalism: Respect for clients is paramount in studio photography. It can be a very intimate and private experience, requiring trust from the subject and the photographer. I've learned to approach each session with professionalism, empathy and sensitivity, ensuring that my clients feel comfortable and respected.
- Personal Growth: Beyond the technical and professional aspects, studio photography has also been a journey of personal growth. It has taught me patience, perseverance and the importance of continuous learning and improvement. I've gained a deeper understanding of myself and my capabilities as I've navigated the challenges and triumphs of this craft.
Overall, studio photography has been instrumental in shaping me into the photographer I am today. It has provided me with invaluable experiences, lessons and growth opportunities and I look forward to continuing to evolve and refine my craft in the future.
