Khai is a photographer based in Singapore, with a background in screen media and work exhibited at the National Museum, URA and NAFA. He photographs weddings and engagements, events, performances and commercial work.

We could not recommend Khai enough. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, took the time to speak with us before the shoot in a short time to get a sense of what we were looking for. With him there is an essence of simplicity yet is calm and real. He had great improvisational and communication skills and he guided us for the perfect shot. Certainly an investment for the future, looking forward to working with you again!

The first expression counts, and it was great that the communications and interactions were simple and consistent with our photo/video personnel. Gradient and texture are of a quality that will make your photos and videos memorable and the great advantage of having freelancers is not having the constraints of more extensive franchises that tend to limit the capacity for imaginative shots

How Khai works
Observe
Most of a wedding happens at the edges of the room. That is where he watches.
Compose
Find the frame first. Then wait for someone to step into it.
Preserve
Henna fades in a couple of weeks. The photograph keeps it.
