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

I make humanistic photographs that captivate viewers for more than just a few seconds.

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

My philosophy is simple—to capture you at your most human. Inspired and influenced by Western realist painting and social documentary photography, I will photograph you in a lyrical, beautiful light.

Light retouching is offered, to enhance your natural beauty and presence, and to avoid giving the images an artificial look.

I earned a BFA in Photography at Pratt Institute and continue to be based out of Brooklyn, NY.
