Abel’s background in broadcasting and mass communication has given him years of experience in video projects, with expertise in filming, video editing and technical switching for live streaming.

He became interested in technology at a young age, thanks to watching his older brother play computer games. This led to a lifelong desire to use computers to help other people. He now brings that same helpful attitude to work, always ready to listen and help, whether it's fixing tech problems or trying out new ways to film.

He gets most of his inspiration from honest, everyday moments and real emotions, which often tell the best stories. He used to think about becoming a graphic designer, but he says that not being able to draw led him to this path instead.

One of the reasons he loves what he does is because he gets to solve puzzles all the time, like how to make a video flow or how to bring a story to life. At the end of the day, it's about working with the team and clients to reach a common goal for the best possible video outcome.

Leong Wai is an award-winning, certified photographer with a keen eye for detail and a deep passion for capturing the beauty and essence of life. In 2016, driven just by curiosity and passion, he took up a DSLR camera for the first time. What began as a pastime soon blossomed into a profession that enables him to capture stories, connect with people, and produce images that last for generations.

Specializing in creative and business portraits, lifestyle, fashion, and boudoir photography, Leong wai has the ability to make people feel at ease in front of the camera. At the end of his shoot, clients often say that they leave feeling more confident, beautiful, and proud of themselves.

Over the years, his photography work has been recognised on international platforms. He has taken home numerous awards in various categories, including portraiture, weddings, boudoir, maternity, and children's photography, and even placed 2nd at the AsiaWPA's 1st Half 2025 competition.

His inspiration often comes from studying the work of photographers he admires, attending workshops, and constantly learning to refine his craft.

Ian’s journey into photography began at the young age of 12, when he entered a nationwide school competition, under the guidance of his uncle. To his surprise, he won first place, and this was the moment that sparked his passion for the craft. Since then, he’s gone on to collect numerous school awards, including multiple 1st place wins at the Regional Student Convention (RSC).

As a photo editor, Ian brings the photos to the next level - editing to bring out the best in the images’ colour or brightness while adjusting imperfections and removing unsightly objects in the frame. Beyond editing, he also designs albums and prints and often steps in as an assistant or second shooter during photo shoots. His photography work spans over events, portraits, products and nature – each telling a unique story.

What excites him most is making photos visually interesting, which is turning everyday moments into something beautiful. He draws inspiration from a variety of places, including games, films, and social media. These forms of media in turn shape his approach and keep him in tune with current trends. His youth, he believes, is his edge that allows him to bring a fresh, trend-aware perspective to the team’s creative work.

For over 10 years, Charlyn has worked as a hair and makeup artist on weddings, fashion shows, commercials, TV shows, special events and with a number of beauty and cosmetic brands.

Her passion is helping women see how beautiful they really are through makeup while enhancing their natural beauty. She uses makeup and hair as a transformative tool not just for appearances but for emotions as well. Watching her clients gain a renewed sense of confidence and feel like the best version of themselves is what brings Charlyn the most joy, which is why she continues to pursue her craft as a makeup artist and hairstylist.

Outside of work, she gives her time and skills as a volunteer, especially for causes close to her heart. Through her involvement with Care & Share and the Valley of Hope, she has supported elderly communities by providing makeup for performances, charity events, and even film shoots. Memorable projects that she has worked on include Valley's Got Talent, the Mid-Autumn Festival Party, and the 95th Anniversary Celebration of Valley of Hope. These projects were a highlight to her not just for the artistry, but for the joy and dignity it brought to the participants.

Charlyn gets ideas for her work from beauty trends around the world and social media sites like Instagram, TikTok, and Xiaohongshu, as well as fashion and art. She is always looking for new ways to make her work look fresh and contemporary. Her approach when dealing with clients is to start by listening to them to find out what they want, how they want to feel, and how to make the look fit both their personality and the occasion.

Kate began her career as a chartered accountant, but after years of climbing the corporate ladder and the arrival of her second child, she decided to slow down and pursue a new passion: wedding planning. That love for creating smooth, thoughtful processes eventually led her to Stories in 2022, where she now combines structure with creativity.

As a Studio Assistant, she oversees the team's post-production work. She makes sure that every project stays on schedule and gets to clients on time. After the shoot, she is also the main point of contact for clients. She helps them choose photos or albums and answers any questions they have so that their experience is smooth from start to finish. Her hope is that every client feels cared for and that the process after the shoot is not just smooth but also an enjoyable experience for everyone.

Kate is especially passionate about stories that shed light on social issues, especially those that cover the topic of mental health. She believes that photography and videography have the power to spark important conversations, help to raise awareness, and remind people that they are not alone.
