About

Hello! I’m Axel, a Singaporean-American portrait photographer and fine artist.

Rather than compete for attention in a sea of images by using distractions, I prefer to make timeless photographs that captivate viewers for more than just a few seconds.

I take a slow, measured approach that will help you feel at your most relaxed and confident while you’re having your picture taken.

It is important to me that you’re captured at your most human. To this end, I only offer light retouching to enhance your beauty and avoid giving the images an artificial look.

I will work with you to make sure that you feel comfortable expressing yourself in front of the camera.

I am inspired and influenced by Western realist painting and social documentary photography. I earned a BFA in Photography at Pratt Institute and continue to be based out of Brooklyn.
