the compositional tricks i use in my fashion photography. diagonals, frames within frames, pyramids, rule of thirds, golden ratio. i don’t usually post visually informative content because i like keeping things purely visual here, but check out my tiktok or youtube shorts if youd like more of this. it might seem like a click of a button, theres more to street photography than meets the eye!

rule of thirds — one of my obvious favourites. sometimes i like to throw a spanner in the works and place an environmental essence dead centre instead. it can either create stability in the image, or by disrupting the balance, create even more dynamism through negative space.

pyramid — creates a strong visual presence because triangles naturally feel stable and powerful to the eye. it gives both the model and architecture a stronger sense of presence.

diagonal — using angles helps create tension, movement, and energy. very cinematic. asking the model to lean into the direction of the composition makes the image feel even more dynamic!

frame within a frame — adds so much depth to a photo because youre intentionally choosing where to position the viewer. using walls, doors, or windows helps direct immediate attention to the model while elevating the surrounding space too.

golden ratio — the holy grail. a spiral-like flow that guides the viewer’s eye naturally through the image. organic and visually pleasing, especially when paired with curved architectural spaces.

sometimes the most unassuming or messiest environment can help create the most captivating editorials!

how do passer-bys affect a fashion editorial on the streets?
learning to shoot fashion on location isnt just about the space, its about the people moving through it that gives it its breath. ive always loved to include passing figures, waiting for the right time to see someone walk into the frame. it changes everything because the image stops feeling staged and starts feeling alive. learning from old masters like henri cartier-bresson and the idea of the decisive moment, not forcing the shot, but waiting for life to complete it. sometimes all it takes is one person crossing the right corner at the right time.

a fun day of colour hunting with through downtown Singapore. a game of wits and styling, as explored the myriad ways to wear their scarves with striking versatility. a project close to my heart as we set out to capture the city’s layered colour and texture while showcasing the beauty of their pieces!

funny enough when i first started photography, i shot almost exclusively in nature. “naturally” that meant most of my photos leaned green by default. leaves ranging from rich forest greens to colder teals slowly became the colours i saw the world through and the only way i could shoot. not even kidding. as i moved more into street photography and became strangely infatuated with shooting around temples and asiatic aesthetics, my work slowly shifted towards red instead.
colours can mean simple things at surface level, but what really interests me is the visual tension and momentum they create when they come alive inside an image. rather interesting evolution of my own journey that fits the mold well too. maybe that part is better left for the photos to speak for themselves

i have never been a fan of neutral backdrops because it goes against my instincts as a maximalist fashion photographer. but sometimes the visual brain and the logical brain do not agree and a neutral background just makes sense for that one shot! once in a while i can appreciate a really good neutral background for sure. do you have quirks like this too?

another location i wanted to explore during one of my last trips to bangkok was the renowned song wat road. if uve been there recently, ull notice a rise in activity around the pier area. we visited one of the revitalised warehouses and shot while plenty of tourists watched on. sometimes locations get refurbished for different reasons, whether to improve local communities or to boost tourism. and that means the environment can look very different from the last time you saw it. i think we adapted quite well to the changes and still managed to get some great shots!

it takes countless attempts to get the right shot, and it becomes even more demanding under blazing weather when you’re six layers deep into a garment. but when everything finally comes together, the outcome makes it all worth it. sometimes the struggle behind the frame is exactly what gives the image its intensity. fashion shoots can feel chaotic in the moment, but that tension is often where the magic comes from
