What Sets Skai's Studio Photography Apart

Studio photography is more than polished images — it's about creating a personalised, comfortable, and impactful experience. As a professional studio photographer in Singapore, my portfolio showcases refined, authentic portraits that blend soft, flattering light, creativity, technical mastery, and client‑focused care. Here's what makes my studio photography stand out:

1. Bespoke for You:

   Communication is key. Before every shoot, I take time to understand your personality, preferences, and vision. This allows me to customise each session to reflect your individuality. Innovation drives my work — I constantly explore new ideas and techniques to create striking, memorable images.

2. Respectful Guidance and Comfort:

   Your comfort matters most. I maintain a no‑touch approach, guiding poses with clear verbal instructions so you feel safe, respected, and confident. Think of it as a dance led with words — relaxed, professional, and empowering.

3. Customised Light Setup:

   Lighting defines mood and impact. Unlike standard studios with fixed setups, I tailor lighting for each session — adjusting angles, experimenting with techniques, and creating unique atmospheres that elevate your portraits.

4. Soft, Flattering Light & Styling:

   With training from a commercial makeup artist, I pay close attention to styling details. Using soft, flattering light, I smooth skin tones, reduce harsh shadows, and enhance natural radiance. Outfits and makeup are refined to complement your look, resulting in portraits that highlight your best features with subtle perfection.

5. Transparent Pricing & Value:

   Honesty builds trust. My pricing is clear, with no hidden fees. Clients often receive more than expected, thanks to my commitment to value and excellence. You'll always know exactly what you're investing in.

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!

Check out the story behind my studio to find out the struggle I face doing my studio photography.

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.

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:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

FAQ

How do you make your clients feel comfortable during the shoot?

I prioritise communication before and during the shoot. By explaining what's happening and using empathy, I help clients feel at ease, which leads to more natural and confident photos.

What is your approach to helping clients who feel camera-shy?

I focus on honesty and encouragement, reminding clients that it's normal to feel shy but that the results will be worth it. My relaxed and supportive approach often helps ease their nerves.

Do you offer styling advice or pose guidance?

Yes, styling is crucial for creating impactful images. I provide guidance on outfits and poses, and because I lean toward a lifestyle approach, posing tends to feel natural and intuitive for clients.

What makes your style of photography unique?

I specialise in working with soft light to flatter my subjects. This requires using large softboxes and meticulous attention to detail to create natural and timeless images.

How do you personalise each photoshoot to suit the client's needs?

It starts with understanding what the client wants. We'll discuss their goals, preferences and intended use of the photos. Then, I tailor everything—from the lighting setup to the mood and poses—to ensure the results are meaningful and multipurpose.

How do you ensure creativity in your shots compared to other photographers?

I involve clients in the planning phase and encourage collaboration. My open and sincere personality helps clients feel comfortable, and this trust often leads to more creative and authentic shots.

How do you incorporate client feedback into the shoot and final product?

Photography is a collaborative process. I actively seek feedback during the shoot to ensure clients are happy with our direction. Ultimately, the goal is to deliver photos they'll love and use confidently.

What type of camera and lenses do you use compared to other photographers?

I use a full-frame camera paired with one of Canon's best telephoto lenses to ensure sharp, high-quality images. This setup allows me to capture flattering shots with beautiful depth and detail.

Do you allow clients to bring guests to the photoshoot?

While I don't forbid it, I generally recommend against bringing guests. Having extra people around can sometimes create distractions or unnecessary pressure.
