Portraits – We Keep It Classic, A Style That Never Dates

Since 2008, Tomato Photo’s portrait style had been people focused, classic, simple, natural and beautiful. Our focus is always you, your family and your children.

Keeping it Simple, or KIS principle that we call it.

It is important to recognise the beauty in every person that we photograph and with decade of experience, we learn how to work with our clients to draw out their best.

One of the reason why we do well is perhaps, I love meeting people, I am intrigued by kid’s curiosity, their behaviour, why they do what they do. I observe, I pre-empt and I anticipate. That’s how I get to to capture the moments and expressions that parents didn’t know existed. It surprise me from time to time as well, as creating images is more or less like a second nature, such as breathing…

We had such a fantastic experience with Hart – he was so relaxed and easy going and the session was really enjoyable. My husband and I were amazed at how quickly our very shy 2 years old warm up to him. We are absolutely thrilled with the quality of the images and would highly recommend. Danelle Slattery

I find beauty in people’s laughter, expression, body language, connection, etc. I learn all that from comments from my clients… they often say something like, oh… that is so her! oh, i love that “look” and I love when they do this…

In fact, my photography skill grow every time I listen to my clients. Capturing what they hope to remember drive me to the pursuit of images beyond thought. It is that simple.

We find value in simplicity and it is a classic example of how we create our images.

Most clients tell us that there is something in our photos that they like but not quite sure what… They feel comfortable looking at the photos, they can relate and they look real. We presume what they mean is that’s how their happiness “feel” like.

Its life little things that makes people smile more than biggest ticket item that money can buy.

Just you being who you are.

As the years have gone on, we believe that Tomato Photo has remained stead fast in their approach, quality and style.

Most of our clients choose us because they know getting what they love should be easy.

Did my second shoot for my newborn with Hart and just very thankful he was so flexible and kind to accommodate my different requests. The photos delivered were lovely and precious. He handed my older twins well with the newborn, and just so thankful to have our first full family photo captured where everyone looks good.

5 stars!!! Our second time booking our family photoshoots with Tomato Photo Studio. Hart is very professional, good with kids (very patient too!) and listened to our photoshoot preferences. Their studio is kid friendly and spacious. The best part is that our photos came out the way we wanted it to be and Hart was pretty quick with it. We will definitely be looking forward to more photoshoots with him to capture our memories. Thanks again Hart!

What Clients Say About Us

Treasure the Time through Photography

Parents, Grandparents and elders have stopped me over the years to tell me the same thing: cherish every moment. It goes too fast. One day they are little and the next, they’re not. They say it while staring fondly, wistfully, at my kids. Watching their faces, I can tell that some part of them is replaying a memory of when their own children were small and needed them more. This for me is the reason why I love what I do as a photographer. I am able to help parents capture these moments that fly by in an eternal print and frame. We can savor our memories of our young children by looking loving at an old photograph of them just being themselves. Photographs give you that personal insight into their state of mind and capabilities at that specific time. A photograph inspires our memory, brings back a particular smell or feeling we had in that moment and for every parent that instant insight is priceless.

Parents come back each year for that annual shoot time and time again as they recognize how the fast the special moments of their little ones childhoods fly by. Photos help you treasure and relive these moments as you reflect back on the growth and achievements of your children over the days, months and years.

Perhaps the best quote I have heard this week is that “they are older today than yesterday and time is not slowing down.” All we can do is preserve time and this is what Tomato Photo does best.

Senior Portrait with the Santillos

It was late, dark and rainy before the shoot… usually, in this kind of condition, the shoot will be postponed. However, time isn’t a luxury that the Santillo’s family have. So we went ahead and hope the rain will quite down a little.

For the most part of the individual shot of Michaela, it was really dark and wet and glad it finally brighten up for a good 15 minutes so we can squeeze in the family session too.

I am glad that we have gotten images that the family love…

Regards,

East Coast Park – a familiar site

There are family who prefer to be guided through the session, there are family who prefer to be left alone and there are family who prefer a bit of both. It is up to the photographer to realise what type the family fall into.

Sometimes being the observer brings a lot of joy in preserving memories for a family. The moments are spontaneous and there are a lot to capture usually. However, it will always challenging to capture something that is meaningful rather than shoot whatever moves.

I love the randomness in this shoot, through the randomness, it seems to define this family that is so dynamic but simple… I simply love it.

Another year, another location, every single year

A family tradition sometimes irks me… that’s what I feel when I was younger.

As I grow older, I wish I had pay more attention to family tradition… sometimes it may sound or feel ridiculous but it only make sense when you finally “get it”.

Elle has been doing her family photography since she had the first child, and with 5 children, she has never fail to arrange for a family photography every single year.

What she want is simple… a simple portrait of the family looking good at the location that is familiar to them…

This year, it was 3rd year I did for them… I hope to continue to do the session for them as long as they are in Singapore…
