#1 The Colonial Sitting Area
One of the first sight that greets you as you walk into the studio space is the lush tropical greenery and inviting wooden daybed. Plush cushions, exotic rug and soft sunlight makes it a very inviting space to chill and relax. It is one of our most popular sitting, great for Family Pictures as well as Personal Branding Images.
#2 White Curtain Photography
For toddlers or young children who doesn’t like to be sitting still for photos, one of our equally popular sitting is the White Curtain! Our curtains are crafted from photography muslin, allowing for soft creamy sunlight to light up your photographs. Playing Peek-A-Boo among the fabric has proven to be a hit with our young ones, resulting in some amazingly candid pictures!
#3 Rustic Wooden Floorboards
Genuine vintage timber wooden floor makes for really lovely photographs. The warm tone of it compliments all skin tones, plus there’s something very classic and timeless about it. Mostly shot with natural light, the catchlights (light source that causes a specular highlight in a subject’s eye) really draws attention to the eyes. Lovely.
#4 Full French-Style Windows
Our full French-style windows makes for beautiful photography, be it a Family Portraits or a Professional Corporate Headshot. All photographs are shot with a mixture of sunlight & studio lighting, hence resulting in stunningly soft yet clear images.
#5 Romantic French-style walls
Inspired by the grand palaces and art museums of the western world, our walls are decorated with contemporary french style wall beadings. Romantic, and grand, this style of interior decorating adds a vintage flair and is very popular with a lot of high-end fashion boutiques as well!

No photography studio is complete without a classic studio backdrop. We use the highest quality of studio paper available. A contemporary grey suitable for all skin tones and mood, a variation of different post-processing colouring is applied to bring it to enhance your photographs.
