The most talented portrait photographers in Singapore

Singapore-born, New York-based photographer Lenne Chai has established herself as one of Singapore's highly-sought after fashion photographers. Her works – which have appeared in several publications around the world like Esquire Singapore, Tidal Magazine and Issue Magazine – evoke a dreamy mood, with a focus on the play of lights and colours. She's photographed both local and international names the likes of Sonia Chew and Nadia Rahmat to Richard Ellis, Dylan Sprouse and even Lil Miquela.

As a self-proclaimed brown boy himself, Faiyaz's brilliant photographs focuses on minority artists, influencers and models in Singapore. He's an expert at playing with tones and shadows to bring out the best features of his subjects. So it comes as no surprise that his Instagram features stunning self-portraits of himself in various spots around town, travelling, or simply lounging at home.

Emerging photographer Lester Hung has the ability to transform even the most mundane spaces in the city into intriguing backgrounds to photograph his subjects. One of his latest sets, which captures local model Aimee Cheng Bradshaw, was inspired by international photographer Aaron Walls and plays upon light projections from a projector.

Photographer, artist and writer Charmaine Poh uses photography as a medium to discuss important social issues such as Section 377A, a colonial-era penal code that criminalises sex between men. Her project, 'How They Love', looks at the performativity of queer feminine identity in Singapore, with couples photographed against a projection of her parents' wedding portraits. 

Her works have been exhibited at events such as the M1 Singapore Fringe Festival, the Singapore International Photography Festival and The Taipei Arts Festival.

Photographer and creative director Jayden Tan's eccentric works incorporate uniquely Singaporean elements we are all familiar with such as packets of Milo, Maggi noodles strewn over his models, and White Rabbit candy from our childhood. He's turned his passion into a full-time job, and have worked with various clients from New Balance to Lazada.
