AU FAIT STUDIOS
{ oh fae }
To be au fait is to be fully competent and have good detailed knowledge about
Led by Abel Tan, Au Fait Studios’ expertise lies within Commercial Photography, specialising in Advertising, Branding and Corporate.
At the young age of 15, Abel was handpicked to represent his secondary school as a Student Photojournalist for the national Chinese broadsheet Lianhe Zaobao. He took the years under the tutelage of his seniors and working professionals to solidify his foundation in the craft and trained his ‘eye’ for moments and details.
Venturing on as a full-fledged photographer today, he continues to push his boundaries and makes every shoot better than the previous. His style has been influenced by his photo-journalistic roots; an intent to portray the candid and natural side of every person he photographs.
Apart from commercial assignments, he still strings for the newspapers and takes on other personal work during his off-days. When not holding a camera, he enjoys a good spin on his road bike, looking for the best food in the neighbourhood or trying out a flavour of tea.
Abel is a member of the Professional Photographers Association (Singapore) (PPAS) and Nikon Professional Services (NPS).
Based in Singapore, ready for the world.
