Reviews: Clients' Testimonials
"Skai was a delight to work with. We communicated about ideas for months — once I found out I would be travelling to Singapore; I also appreciated bouncing ideas back on forth on attire and venue. Moreover, Skai was more than accommodating with my travel plans with my family.
We had a fun shoot! There were many laughs and some interesting experiences. Skai wasn't afraid to instruct, yet was also able to keep things light-hearted. He is passionate about photography and that shines through in everything he does; he lives and breathes photography. You can tell how knowledgeable he is in his trade by the tips he offers and ultimately, the results you will see through his photos.
We had a few obstacles to overcome together, not including working around a crowd. The first challenge was shooting in a world-class hotel: photography equipment needed to be inconspicuous. Skai did a good job packing lightly. With this, came our second challenge: lighting. When it isn't raining or has extremely harsh sun, Singapore is cloudy! It is almost hazy. Skai prides himself on impeccable lighting in his photography. In this instance, we were not allowed to set up in normal circumstances; Skai had to think on the fly. It was remarkable how clever he was, to balance lighting props with one hand, and a camera with the other. I enjoyed the shooting process and the photos. We did what we could in very little time, and with many hotel restrictions.
Feedback, instruction, and consideration would be my top three favourite traits from this shoot. Overall, our photo session was a blast! It was a beautiful experience working with a photographer who has now turned into a friend."- Havanah Zandrea
As a professional vacation photographer, I take pride in my work and I'm confident in the quality of my photography services.

How Skai Began Doing Vacation Photoshoots
I was new to the world of photography, just a passionate bloke with a camera and a dream. I started by putting up some of my portrait work, hoping to share my love for capturing moments with the world. Little did I know, fate had some incredible surprises in store for me.
Foreign freelance models, out of the blue, began contacting me to collaborate before they travelled to Singapore. Talk about a serendipitous turn of events! I grabbed the opportunity with both hands and soon enough, I found myself capturing stunning portraits of these talented individuals.
But that's not all – my love for photography and adventure led me to some exciting hiking escapades with my friends. As we trekked through nature's beauty, I couldn't help but capture those precious moments on camera. Hiking photoshoots became a thing and it felt like I was blending two passions into one.
Then, something magical happened – I started receiving requests for surprise marriage proposal photoshoots from foreigners visiting Singapore. It was a whole new world of emotions, capturing those heart-warming moments of love and commitment. Those proposals tugged at the heartstrings!
As word of mouth spread, locals and foreigners alike began seeking me out for vacation photoshoots. From families to solo adventurers, I had the privilege of capturing their joyous memories against the backdrop of stunning locations in Singapore.
And you know what they say – success breeds more success! Before I knew it, foreigners started reaching out for their personal photoshoots – boudoir, fitness, couple, lifestyle portraits – you name it! It was an absolute blast working with such diverse and enthusiastic individuals.
And there you have it – my journey in vacation photography, starting with portraits, embracing hiking photoshoots, capturing surprise proposals, and expanding to all kinds of personal and vacation shoots. It's been a wild ride and I'm ever so grateful to be doing what I love – creating meaningful and stunning memories with my camera.
So far, I have worked with many clients from all over the world and I'm looking forward to work with more.

I love being able to help my clients remember the details of their trip and the special moments they shared with their loved ones.
- Being creative: I find that vacation photoshoots offer a lot of creative opportunities. Each location is unique and offers different light, composition and background opportunities. I enjoy the challenge of finding new ways to capture the beauty of a location and make it stand out in the photographs.
- Building relationships: I love working with my clients and building relationships with them. I find it satisfying to be able to understand their needs and preferences and tailor my approach to their personalities and styles.
- Seeing my clients happy: I find it extremely rewarding to see my client's reactions when they receive their photographs. The look of happiness, satisfaction and joy on their faces is what makes my job worth it.
- Exploring and finding hidden gems in Singapore: I love exploring Singapore and showing people the greatness of the country. Singapore has great sceneries as well and I enjoy capturing the beauty of the country through my lens, also I find it great to explore Singapore to find hidden gems (locations) that are not known to the public. These locations offer unique perspectives and opportunities for capturing beautiful and interesting photographs.
- Photographic goal: One of my goals is to take pictures of all locations in Singapore and gather the pictures for an exhibition, to showcase the diversity and beauty of the country.
- Interacting with foreigners: I love interacting with foreigners and learning about their culture and hearing their happy stories. It's always interesting to know how they perceive Singapore and how they fell in love with the country, and I enjoy capturing those emotions in my photographs.
Overall, I find vacation photoshoots to be incredibly fulfilling and enjoyable, and I look forward to every opportunity to capture beautiful memories for my clients.
How Doing Vacation Photography has Helped Skai Grow
Vacation photography has been a journey of growth and discovery for me! It's not just about snapping photos; it's about connecting with people from all walks of life and expanding my horizons.
First off, meeting foreigners has been an eye-opening experience. Each photoshoot brings a new cultural exchange. Chatting with people from different corners of the world has broadened my perspective and I've learned so much about their home countries, traditions and ways of life. It's like taking a virtual trip to every corner of the globe!
Being a vacation photographer has taught me to be confident when talking to folks whose first language isn't English. It's all about breaking down language barriers with a smile and some friendly vibes. Embracing our imperfections in the English language, our effort to understand each other has been such a heart-warming way to connect, and it brings out the best in the photoshoot experience.
Being surrounded by so much love and joy during surprise marriage proposal photoshoots, I've witnessed the power of emotions first-hand. Capturing those intimate and heartfelt moments has made me more empathetic and compassionate as a person. It's like I'm capturing the essence of love itself and it's truly magical.
The diversity of personal photoshoots, from boudoir to fitness and lifestyle and couple portraits, has taught me to celebrate uniqueness and embrace individuality. It's a constant reminder that we're all beautifully different and that's what makes each shoot so special.
Lastly, vacation photography has given me the confidence to step out of my comfort zone and explore new places. Whether it's hiking through lush trails or venturing into the lesser-known spots, each adventure has brought me closer to the beauty of nature and the excitement of discovery.
So, vacation photography isn't just about taking pretty pictures – it's a journey of growth, connection and learning. It has shaped me into a more open-minded, confident and understanding person. And every day, I'm excited to see what new stories and experiences my camera will capture next.
