WHO ARE WE

El Retrato Photography

A lot have asked, what does El Retrato mean? In Spanish, it means The Portrait. When I first had the intention of setting up my own photography business with my partner, the first challenge is to create our own business name. A lot have come across our mind, and we have decided to settle down with El Retrato Photography. 

FAQ

1. WHY EL RETRATO?

We both had the passion in capturing DECISIVE human moments, and capturing them on camera. We use our best endeavors to turn them into what people call travel and editorial photography. The aim is to capture the beauty and power of a person and hence we have developed our passion in doing portraiture photography. We love to tell story with one shot, and we love a good challenge. 

In addition we shoot engagements and weddings because we love being surrounded by such happy group of people. Finding a perfect scene - catching that genuine moment - is my obsession. It is all about taking natural light, adding an accent here or there, and allowing the camera to see it the way we do in our head.

2. WHERE DO YOU RUN YOUR PROJECTS?

We are currently based in Kuala Lumpur, capital of Malaysia. We have travelled between countries such as New Zealand, Singapore and United Kingdom, and still counting. And having been grown up in a beautiful country which beautiful people around, we are no stranger to the world of beautiful portraiture photography. For the past several years, we enjoy nothing more than than helping others to achieve greatness in photography.
