Commissioned Editorial
Portraiture

My work is commissioned selectively and priced based on scope, usage, and location.

I do not offer standard packages or fixed session menus. Each project is approached as editorial portraiture, with time given to planning, observation, and post-production.

This page provides general guidance only.

What a commission includes

A commissioned editorial portrait project typically includes:

  • Pre-shoot discussion to understand intent and context

  • A focused shoot in a real environment

  • Calm, observational working style with minimal direction

  • Careful editing with restraint and longevity in mind

  • Delivery of a considered selection of final images

The emphasis is on presence, effort, and honest representation rather than performance or polish.

Indicative starting point

Most editorial portrait commissions begin from:

SGD 650

This reflects time, experience, and the creation of work intended for long-term use rather than single-purpose content.

Final fees depend on scope, usage, and any additional requirements.

Studio-based work

Studio-based projects are available where appropriate.

Studio hire is charged separately based on actual booking time and includes setup and breakdown. Most studio projects require at least two hours.

Studio costs are discussed clearly in advance and passed on transparently.

Usage and licensing

Personal and editorial usage is included by default.

Commercial, promotional, or organisational usage is discussed on a per-project basis and priced based on scope and reach. This ensures clarity for both parties and protects long-term value.

Collaboration

Alongside commissioned work, I also undertake selective creative collaboration.

These projects are free when initiated as editorial or personal studies and chosen based on alignment. They are not services and carry no obligation to progress into paid work.

What I do not offer

To avoid confusion, I do not take on:

  • Events or live coverage

  • Corporate or professional headshots

  • Generic promotional or influencer photography
