Let’s talk about shooting cross sections. See these seemingly-effortless flaky comb layers with the luscious custard filling of the croissant? Not every cut looks like that. In fact, it takes meticulous knife skills and some luck to pick the right croissant so that the layers remain intact once cut. We also went with a harsh lighting to accentuate the croissant’s comb and golden hue. Anything to fully demonstrate the art and craft of these Sourdough Pastries.

What’s not to love about a quick, easy and hearty dinner meal. For our client , we whipped up a Rice-Cooker Pork Belly Kimchi Rice dish made using Fairprice ingredients. Fluffing up the short-grain rice, arranging the pork belly slices so that they’re visible and topping it off with spring onions all add to creating visual dimension. We also added a blue print fabric for a light touch of the brand colour.

Our floor to ceiling 5.5m glass panel with sliding doors encased in the powder coated blue frame creates a dynamic division between and .co while inviting daylight across the whole space. The clear glass embodies fluidity and showcases our studios’ high ceilings. Light grey curtains can be drawn to separate the space so you get your well deserved privacy. Once open, these 2 spaces can meld into 1 large area for your functions and productions. Looking for a unique, versatile and large space? Contact us to learn more!

A casual family gathering shoot can take the collaboration of a big team of creatives and talents just to capture that one solid shot.

Familiar colours, various textures and our studio’s peak natural lighting. Meticulous effortless.

When clients approach us to shoot alcohol, we usually have a tasting session to fully immerse ourselves into the flavour of the drink so as to best bring out its profile. Our food stylist paired the sweet and spicy Balvenie Doublewood 17 with a thick juicy cut of home-made roast pork. DoubleWood 17’s high alcohol content melts the fatty meat down into every tastebud, elevating the tasting experience. How do you pair your whiskies? 🥃

Capturing the future and beauty of sustainable food produce, our love for food extends beyond just making it look insta-worthy. We believe that it takes the right food photographers to fossilize these pivotal creations in the FnB industry to embrace the up and coming wave of sustainability.

We are strong believers that the right props often help to bring out the mood of the shot. We’ve been diligently sourcing our cutleries from around the world, wayyyy before the studio even started, to produce the most varied aesthetic prop combinations possible. Some of them are from local collectors, some are delicate antiques from Europe and the copper-esque spoon and fork in this picture were hand-carried by our director straight from Japan. Everything in our studio is brought in with extra thought, the Chun Tsubaki way.

Our vintage mismatched seats add a laidback warm hue to complement the concrete space. To complete the (Japanese+Nordic) Japandi interior design style in our studio. Nothing too avant-garde nor arrogant. Everything timeless, modest and aesthetic. These babies are sourced from around the world, including , an authentic Scandinavian vintage furniture brand that strives for reduced carbon footprint and unique interior design charm.

Ask a food photographer about the most time-sensitive food to shoot and they’d likely answer: ICE CREAM (if they use the real product*). Catching these sweet creamy treats at their prime right out of the fridge without condensation and pools of melting madness takes the right lighting, accurate timing and the absolute dream team. Featuring our work for Unilever’s ice cream feast 🎉 Hit us up to see how your product can be elevated with our professional food photography!

Plants of various leaves and branches grace our space. Some say it almost feels like an oasis, a gem tucked away in an industrial estate, a green spot in the desert. Come see it for yourself! 🌿

Logo design for SORA.
We adopted a minimalist style while embracing the fluidity of traditional Japanese ink calligraphy. The focal graphic element is the word play of the top half of the Japanese kanji 空 (sora), which means sky, written as 天 in Chinese.

Food styling often requires the re-construction of a dish layer by layer to ensure sufficient breathing space, which then melds the elements in a cohesive yet striking manner. Check out our food stylist striving for precision down to every slice and speck to make your food look downright drool-worthy.

Lunar New Year shoots are one of our rituals here at Chun Tsubaki. Each creative is assigned a task to build the set (from re-painting walls to cooking mouth-watering dishes), and everyone gathers to bless the studio with festive vibes for a booming year ahead. Just as we celebrate our Chinese roots, we celebrate our fortune to be able to turn our craft into career. Blessings to all those 虎’ve made this possible!
祝大家虎气冲天,好运连连 🐯✨

If you think beverage shots are easy, think again. It's almost like a science experiment, getting the densities of each component right so that they're perfectly suspended in liquid viscosity. Make a guess what beverage this is!

Who We Are

The very idea of Chun Tsubaki began circa 2017 drawing its roots from the age-old philosophy of ‘monozukuri’, the Japanese equivalent of the word ‘craftsmanship’. As creatives who are simultaneously japanophiles, this axiom hits close to home and strongly resonates with us.

We believe in the makers' process, to take pride in our craft, refining and redefining our skills to achieve excellence. With this dream in mind, we aspire to build a charming space that would invigorate the senses and gather together a commune of like-minded creatives who share the same passion in photography, design, art and food.

Together, we work on creative projects for branding, marketing and content development, as well as offering engaging experiences hosted by dedicated craftsmen.
