The photoshoot service is only available in Singapore currently. It is mainly a non-studio photoshoot session. Of course, we may book a photography studio to achieve specific look and feel. We may discuss the location in more detail through the contact section below.
I use two full-frame professional Sony mirrorless cameras with several full-frame glasses.
Depends.
I love nature lights, as most peoples are. I do not use flashlight if we are having outdoor photoshoot or there is any kid involved in the session.
The idea of using flash is to complement the ambient light to make you look better, e.g., give a spark in your eyes, reduce/eliminate unwanted shadows on your face, etc.
Standard editing, like color grading, exposure correction, photo contrast, etc., will be applied to all the good photos.
You can expect to receive your photos with a consistent look and feel through your personalized online gallery.
Despite taking hundreds of photos per session, we will pick those properly focused (you instead of the wall is in-focused) and ideal poses (smiling instead of yawning) for further editing.
These carefully picked photos are the “good photos” we refer to.
In short, I give a 99.99% guarantee for your photo delivery. The 0.01% is catered for unforeseen circumstances, e.g., a flight smashed my transport, a meteor crashed with my office, etc.
I use two cameras all the time, and each camera records your precious moment into two memory cards simultaneously. Besides, I will swap the memory cards at each logical point of event locations, e.g., home vs. hotel ceremony. Eventually, I will transfer all the shots into my office RAID storage after the photoshoot.
Therefore, there will be at least 4 raw copies available for processing before I deliver the final images to you.
Weddings / Events
You will get between 30 and 50 standard-edited good photos for each hour of shooting.
In short, no.
Everyone is beautiful in front of my camera. I will capture your natural beauty through different angles and posing so that your family and friend will be “Wow!!! That’s you!!!”
However, I will do skin-retouching if you are kissed by mosquitos or suddenly have a few panic pimples.
No.
Look at your loved one, smile and laugh happily, and enjoy the day. I will signal you to look at my camera only when necessary, e.g., group photos, dedicated couple shots, etc.
Weddings and similar events are always filled with laughter and happiness. I visualize the atmosphere as bright, natural, and timeless and thus apply them to your photos. Feel free to browse my galleries to get a sense of my editing style. It is my highest priority to deliver consistent look and feel photos in your gallery.
There are many uncontrollable factors that will affect our visual perception. For example, manufacturers calibrate their device’s screens differently, e.g., warmer, cooler, more vibrant, brighter, etc. Besides, the viewing environment will have different brightness and color temperatures, e.g., under direct sunlight, in a warm orange-ish or cool-white lighting room, in a dark room, etc.
I edit all photos on regularly calibrated monitors in controlled lighting environment (5000K with CRI 97). Before the photo delivery, I will cross-reference all the photos on several uncalibrated devices in various lightings to ensure that the editings look generally pleasant (they might be a tad bit warmer/cooler/brighter/darker on different devices and environments).
Of course, the photos will look the most natural when viewed beside a window with natural sunlight or similar lighting conditions.
Photo Delivery
You shall expect to receive the full gallery in 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the photoshoot types and duration.
I will deliver your photos in softcopy through your personalized online gallery. The personalized online gallery is accessible for 3 to 12 months from the delivery date (depending on the photoshoot package). You may download the photos from the personalized online gallery before it is expired.
You may contact me through the contact section below to check about the availability of photo archival.
However, there is no guarantee of archival availability; thus, it is advisable to download and keep multiple copies from your personalized online gallery within the available period.
