Portraits
You gave us a treasure-box filled with portraits,
portraits that make us laugh, feel all warm inside and
tug at our heartstrings.
There’s no difference between the way I approach a portrait and a boudoir session. In any portrait shoot, any genre – personal, couple, family, even corporate headshots – I observe with the same patience and quiet, rather than running through a shot list; I sculpt your features with the same care and precision, whatever you’re wearing; I patiently allow your beauty to inspire my work, regardless of your age, gender, social status. You’d still feel nervous – the world judges, regardless – but at the end, you’d leave with the same sense of liberation.
There’s no difference, because people shouldn’t be classified into poses. You are a real person with feelings, and we consider it a privilege to portray you with dignity.
We photograph individuals, couples, and families — in the same quiet studio, with the same unhurried approach.
what to expect
The session goes at your pace, with no fixed end time and no shot list. We start with a conversation — usually over drinks or a light meal. By the time we begin shooting, most clients have forgotten they were nervous.
Bring two or three outfits, more if you like. Wear whatever feels most comfortable for you. It’s ok if you’re not sure – we’ll help you decide on the day.
We take our time, and I guide with simple directions — where to look, where to place your hands. I observe quietly, and photograph what moves me about you.
You can view the photographs with us right after the session. The experience can be overwhelming in the best possible way. Choose only what you love — there’s no pressure to take more than you want.
Daniel & Yi Fang
“Somehow, Kelvin didn’t just take beautiful photos our us both, but each photo had a certain depth to it, expressing our honest emotions and character”
Yanjun
“The pictures really captured me the way I would like to be portrayed – at ease being myself and unafraid of sharing my passions in life.”
Kelly
“Every of my team members” personalities were uniquely illustrated through the photos!”
