Testimonials

“I contacted Michael through his website after researching photographers in Singapore and was immediately impressed with his prompt response. We were looking to get some family photos that showed our life in Singapore and welcomed our new baby. I wanted to have the photos at home but I wasn’t sure if it was suitable. Michael came to our house and took some ’test shots’ as I showed him around, and we set aside some possible dates. He then sent us through a suggested schedule for the day and some suggestions for us to prepare.

Michael was great on the day of the shoot, it was very relaxed and he was patient with our 2 year old and 2 week old girls. He really captured the ‘feel’ of our life at home in Singapore. We were blown away when we saw the shots at his studio, they looked fantastic. Again, Michael was very patient as we selected our prints, which he delivered to us the following week.

Overall we were so happy with Michael that we have already recommended him to friends who have been equally pleased. The service has been professional and friendly from start to finish and the results are fantastic.”

“My husband and I wanted to get some professional shots of the family and of our 5 month old baby girl, so we started researching online and asking friends.. A few weeks later, I had contacted Michael and we arranged a studio shoot. I must say I was apprehensive with a 5 month old in tow, worrying if she’d keep still enough for nice shots to be taken. Little did I know, I had nothing to be concerned about, Michael’s studio was comfortable and conducive, and he was extremely professional & efficient throughout. He created a relaxed session and accommodated Kayla’s mood swings. A week later we reviewed the pictures and it literally blew us away!

The pictures were so beautiful, they were breathtaking. Michael managed to capture moments that were just amazing. What we appreciated was the artistic aspect of the pictures, we knew these would be cherished for years to come. Michael did an amazing job. After selecting our prints and canvasses, we couldn’t wait to receive them! All in all, the whole experience was fantastic and in fact, we’ll probably be scheduling another session with Kayla’s grandparents soon. Thanks Michael.”

“I decided to research getting a Portrait Photographer to take some family portraits of my family. After the birth of our 2nd daughter and my Mom visiting from South Africa I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to combine family pictures with newborn shots and get some pictures of my daughters. I approached many photographers in Singapore but I was very impressed with Michael’s quick response and then his sincerity with helping us plan for the photo shoot. He even suggested how we can organize everything so my mom can return to South Africa and have prints with her to take back!

On the day we visited his studio in the afternoon. With a 4 week newborn and an overactive toddler who was playing up that day we were all feeling a bit harassed! However Michael created a calm comfortable environment in his studio that we could all feel comfortable with and have various pictures taken. He was fantastic with our 3 year old daughter and got her to respond to him well with the “fairy in the camera” or the mouse placed on his head! By the end of the shoot she was prancing around thoroughly enjoying herself. The following week I viewed the shots Michael had taken in a slide show at his studio. I was amazed and very emotional at all the photographs and could not believe he had captured such wonderful moments of our family. After I selected the shots Michael delivered the beautiful prints and canvas prints to my house the following week. This whole experience has been superb and it is thanks to his relaxed and professional manner. I will treasure those images he created for a lifetime!”

“Michael really listened to the ideas we had regarding the East Coast Beach photoshoot and he wasn’t afraid to get wet and sandy in the pursuit of a great shot!  We wanted photojournalistic style photos of our boys at the beach and Michael did a great job capturing their spontaneity.  We now have some wonderful images of our boys at one of our favourite places in Singapore. Thank you Michael!”

“I love the pictures Michael took of my son Alex.  They really capture the true essence of him. The whole process felt effortless which seems remarkable given that Alex is 16 months old and doesn’t stop moving.  Michael was able to make Alex feel comfortable with his presence straightaway.  I am delighted with the quality of the final photographs.”

“We have not stopped looking at the photographs since Michael took them.  In his photographs, he has managed to give credence to the old adage about pictures and a thousand words.

Thank you, Michael.  Many years from now, our children will be able to see themselves as we, their parents, will always remember them.”

“Michael’s photos were lovely.  He did a great job of photographing our family of 5 (including 3 active kids) in various natural settings and poses, all in double quick time, before the kids got bored.  He really understood how to use natural daylight to illuminate the beautiful photographs.”
