Reviews

Clients' Testimonials

corporate headshot photographer "I have read many good reviews about Skai. But only today have I experienced it myself. He has earned the good reviews with his professionalism, hardwork, passion and dedication to his craft. For first timers who are afraid or shy in front of a camera, fret not. Skai is very patient and understanding and is frankly a very nice person to be around with. I was skeptical about having my pictures taken by a professional because I thought what difference could it make if I can take my own selfies. Trust me, having a professional taking your pictures is a whole world of difference. The lighting and quality of your pictures will be calculated and executed to a perfection. Engage him and experience it for yourself." - Clifton Lim

Skai the Corporate Photographer

Professional corporate photographer in Singapore Hello! I'm Skai, a corporate photographer in Singapore who believes professional photographs can be polished without becoming stiff or impersonal.

My background began with portrait and fashion photography, where I learned to notice personality, expression and presence. Before my first professional corporate assignment, the client warned me that the person I would photograph was not easy to deal with. I arrived nervous, expecting a difficult encounter. Instead, he welcomed us warmly, prepared special drinks and treated me with honesty and respect despite immediately recognising how new I was to the corporate world.

That experience changed my assumptions. Senior executives and business owners are still people, and a corporate photoshoot can be professional without feeling cold. Since then, I have approached corporate photography as an opportunity to make people comfortable, understand what their organisation needs and create images that communicate confidence, credibility and character.

Working across portraits, teams, workplaces and events has strengthened my adaptability and communication. Each organisation operates differently, so I enjoy learning about its people, environment and objectives before deciding how the photography should look. The variety keeps the work challenging and helps me grow through every project.

My aim is to create photographs that work as a visual introduction: professional enough to build trust, human enough to feel believable and distinctive enough to represent your organisation rather than a generic idea of corporate life.

Want to know what shaped the way I work today? My photography journey has taught me far more than cameras and lighting.

Understanding Corporate Photography

What is Corporate Photography?

Corporate photography creates professional images of an organisation's people, workplace, activities and events for business communication. It can include executive portraits, employee headshots, team photographs, environmental portraits, workplace storytelling, event coverage and brand imagery for websites, LinkedIn, annual reports, recruitment, public relations and marketing.

Why Corporate Photography Matters

Professional imagery influences how clients, employees, partners and stakeholders understand an organisation. Consistent photographs can make a business appear more credible and approachable while showing the real people, environment and culture behind its name.

Corporate photography can:

  • strengthen corporate and personal branding
  • build trust through professional, recognisable imagery
  • give websites, company profiles and marketing materials a consistent appearance
  • showcase company culture, workplaces and business activities
  • support recruitment, public relations and internal communications

Corporate Photography With & Without Flash

I started my professional portrait photography journey using strictly professional lighting (high-end photography). It not only helped me to create work that would stand out from others, but it also helped me to learn more about lighting. Eventually, I'm able to master both kinds of photography - using professional light and natural light.

Both professional and natural light are great but give different feels. However, there are two extreme schools of thought. There are people who are intimidated by professional light and there are also people who value the professional effect.

I'm a man of principle and I hope my clients would pay for the type of pictures that they have requested for, regardless of how well taken the pictures are. I believe in clarifying the details to avoid any miscommunication or misunderstanding, but this is extremely difficult. This is why I have spent a great amount of time on my website to provide detailed but, unfortunately, lengthy information.

High-End or Casual Photography?

There are various pros and cons in both flash (high-end) and natural light photography.

What I love most about high-end flash corporate photography is that it makes the photographs look more professional - not just anyone with a DSLR or phone camera can create. There's also flexibility in the angle of the shoot, for example, if the client wants to have a certain background but the angle of the natural light isn't in favour, professional lighting can solve the issue.

On the other hand, casual corporate photography speeds up the photoshoot tremendously. It makes the photoshoot session very portable and thus able to shift and work on different spots/ backgrounds to produce more variety of photographs.

Eventually, it depends on the situation and your personal needs. However, I would always go for high-end corporate photography whenever possible because of the professional look. Remember that you can have the flexibility of switching to natural light if you were to plan for a high-end photoshoot, but not the other way.

Preparation for a Corporate Portrait Photoshoot

Here are a few things to consider when preparing for a corporate portrait photoshoot:

  1. Choose your attire carefully:

    Select clothing that is appropriate for your industry and reflects your personal style. Avoid loud colours or busy patterns and opt for solid, neutral colours or subtle patterns instead. Consider the context of the photoshoot and choose clothing that is appropriate for the occasion.

  2. Get a haircut:

    If you're due for a haircut, consider getting one a few days before the photoshoot. This will help you look your best and ensure that your hair looks neat and well-groomed in the photographs.

  3. Prepare your skin:

    If you have time, consider getting a facial or doing a deep-cleansing mask a few days before the photoshoot to help your skin look its best. On the day of the photoshoot, make sure to moisturise your skin and use a face primer to help create a smooth, even base for your makeup.

  4. Consider makeup:

    If you plan to wear makeup, choose natural, subtle shades that complement your skin tone. Avoid heavy or dramatic makeup, as it may appear unnatural in photographs. If you're unsure about your makeup, consider consulting with a professional makeup artist or seeking feedback from a trusted friend or colleague.

  5. Practice your pose:

    Practice standing or sitting up straight with good posture and making eye contact with the camera. Experiment with different angles and head positions to find a pose that is flattering and reflects your personality.

What Do I Wear to a Corporate Shoot?

Unlike many experts, I don't specifically insist on the type of clothes to wear for a corporate photoshoot. This is because I work with professionals from different trades and there's no one solution for all. Furthermore, it depends on the kind of image each individual wishes to portray to their target audience.

▲ Standard formal corporate wear for female Standard formal corporate wear for male
▲ Standard formal corporate wear for male Semiformal (smart casual) corporate wear for male
▲ Semiformal (smart casual) corporate wear for male
For a standard corporate photoshoot for the general public, most executives would choose a formal or semi/ smart formal outfit. Formal wear may include a blazer and semi-formal wear may include jeans instead of working pants.

What is the Best Colour to Wear for a Professional Photo?

▲ White coloured corporate outfit for female colour for professional corporate photoshoot
▲ Red coloured corporate outfit for female

The best colour to wear for a professional photo depends on the context and the desired look. That is to say: There's no best colour that fits all situations. I usually give recommendations based on the location just to make sure that the colours do not crash.

Here are a few general tips for choosing colours for professional photos:

  1. Choose colours that complement your skin tone:

    Wearing colours that complement your skin tone can help you look your best in a photo. For example, if you have a cool skin tone, you may look good in blues, purples, and greens, while warm skin tones may look good in earth tones and warm shades of red, yellow, and orange.

  2. Consider the context:

    Choose colours that are appropriate for the context of the photo. For example, if you're taking a corporate headshot, you may want to wear a business suit in a neutral colour.

  3. Experiment:

    If you're unsure what colour to wear, try experimenting with different shades and hues to see what looks best on you. It may also be helpful to seek feedback from a trusted friend or colleague.

In general, black and white are the safest colour combination. Whereas for ladies who wish to be a little more striking and also show more confidence, red is a good choice.

What Colour Should I Avoid in a Photoshoot?

There are a few colours that you may want to avoid in a photoshoot. Overall, it's best to avoid colours that are too bright or too dark and opt for solid, neutral colours or subtle patterns instead.

The colours to avoid depend largely on the location. For example, if you want to shoot in a garden like Singapore Botanic Gardens or Gardens by the Bay, you should avoid green and brown in case you will be blended into the background.

The most important thing is to avoid busy patterns at all costs. While professional photographers can use flash to separate you from the background given there is a colour crush, busy patterns are often unforgivable.

  1. Busy patterns:

    Busy patterns, such as plaid or large graphic prints, can also be distracting and draw attention away from your face. They may also be challenging to photograph and can appear distorted in the final image.

  2. Bright colours:

    Bright colours, such as neon shades, can be distracting and draw attention away from your face. They may also create colour casts on your skin, which can be unflattering.

  3. Dark colours:

    While dark colours can be slimming, they can also create harsh shadows on your face and make you appear more serious or formal.

  4. Light colours:

    Light colours, such as white or pale pastels, can be difficult to photograph and may appear washed out or overexposed in the final image.

How Do I Pose for Corporate Headshots?

modern pose for corporate headshot modern pose for corporate headshot

Every corporate photographer has his own style of posing. There are also a few standard poses for corporate headshots.

I usually try to pose my models in a non-posey way, which will make them look more natural and modern.

For more examples of the standard traditional and modern corporate headshot poses, do look through my sample corporate portrait albums on this page.

Nevertheless, here are a few tips for posing for corporate headshots:

  1. Stand or sit up straight:

    Good posture can help convey confidence and professionalism in a headshot. Stand or sit up straight with your shoulders back and your chin parallel to the ground.

  2. Relax your face:

    Avoid tense or forced expressions in your headshot. Instead, try to relax your face and give a natural, approachable smile.

  3. Make eye contact:

    Making eye contact with the camera can help create a sense of connection and engagement with the viewer.

  4. Experiment with angles:

    Experiment with different angles and head positions to find a pose that is flattering and reflects your personality.

Understanding Photography

Photoshoot Process

FAQ

Is This Session Right For You?

Can you take my LinkedIn profile picture?
Yes. Corporate portraits are suitable for LinkedIn, company websites, speaker profiles, professional directories and other business platforms. Let me know where you intend to use the photograph so that we can plan the framing and style accordingly.
Can you help me take a passport or identity-card photograph?
You can view my passport and identity-photo service. If you are already booking a suitable studio portrait session, ask whether a compliant identity photograph can be included within the booked duration.

Planning Your Photoshoot

Do you provide outfits for the corporate photoshoot?
You should prepare your own outfits. If helpful, send me photographs of your options beforehand and I can advise which may work best with the intended background, brand image and photography style.
Can I do the corporate photoshoot in my office?
Yes. We can use your office interior, available window light, a suitable wall or a portable lighting and backdrop setup where practical. The recommended approach depends on the space, number of people, desired consistency and time available.
What should I take note of before my corporate photoshoot?
Prepare your outfits, grooming and any brand or usage requirements in advance. Avoid anything immediately before the session that may leave temporary marks on your face or clothing. For a team session, appointing one coordinator and preparing an attendance schedule will help the photography run smoothly.
Can you match our existing corporate headshot style?
Often, yes. Please send representative examples and any brand guidelines before the session. I will assess the lighting, framing, background and editing style and explain what can be matched realistically at your location.
How should we organise staff for an office photoshoot?
A timetable with realistic arrival intervals helps minimise disruption and waiting. It is also useful to appoint one coordinator who can confirm attendance, maintain the schedule and communicate any last-minute changes.

During the Photoshoot

Should I smile in my company photograph?
It depends on your role, audience and the impression you want to create. A natural smile can feel warm and approachable, while a more neutral expression may suit a serious or authoritative profile. We can photograph several expressions so that you have appropriate options.
Can I wear spectacles during my corporate photoshoot?
Yes, although lenses may reflect windows or photography lights. I will adjust the lighting, your angle or the position of your spectacles where practical. If you normally wear spectacles professionally, it is usually better for your portrait to remain recognisable and authentic. Bringing an empty frame or a pair with an anti-reflective coating may also help.
Can you photograph a large team while keeping everyone's portraits consistent?
Yes. A consistent lighting, framing and background setup can be used across the team. The schedule, available space and number of people should be planned carefully so that the session runs efficiently.

Packages & Booking

How much does a corporate photoshoot cost?
Some common portrait packages are linked above. Corporate assignments vary, so I may need more information before providing an accurate quotation. Useful details include the number of people, location, intended usage, preferred visual style, schedule, lighting requirements and whether advanced retouching is needed.
Can you take a group photograph during a booked corporate photoshoot?
Usually, yes, provided it is discussed in advance. Group photographs may require a different lighting setup, more space, additional equipment and extra production or editing time, so they can affect the recommended package and quotation.
Can the photographs be supplied in different crops for our website and LinkedIn?
Yes. Please share the required dimensions or layout references before final delivery. Photographing with those uses in mind helps preserve enough space for suitable horizontal, vertical or square crops.
