our founders

Elaine and Dan, founders of White Room Studio

Elaine and Dan are sister and brother, and their love of photography started with their mum.

Founder

Elaine

Elaine trained in Australia and worked as an architectural photographer in Sydney, then as production manager at a fine-art photography gallery and at a portrait and bridal studio, picking up two international awards along the way. In 2009 she came home to Singapore and started White Room Studio with Dan, in a small unit above a coffee shop in River Valley.

Today she runs the studio with Dan. Away from it, she directs documentaries, including The Girl and Her Piano, and has joined expeditions to Antarctica and the Arctic as a climate ambassador.

Founder

Dan

Dan studied at NAFA and opened his own pet photography studio in 2007, with a street photographer’s eye for real, unposed moments. In 2009 he started White Room Studio with Elaine.

Today Dan trains our photographers and keeps every shoot to the same standard, so whoever photographs you, you get the same care and the same quality. Outside the studio, he teaches art to children, and in 2025 he joined an Arctic climate expedition as photographer and videographer.

Delun

20 years2,300+ sessions

“The first thing I notice is how people are built and how they’ll fit together as a group.”

Delun started out in journalism and wedding photography, and has been with us since 2017. He’s our lighting expert, and many of our corporate clients come back to him again and again for headshots, office shoots and big company group photos.

His superpower is helping people fully relax: “Once that guard drops, everything else falls into place.” Feeling awkward? He’ll tell you to just be yourself, and guide you through every step.

Yan, corporate photographer at White Room Studio, Singapore

Yan

21 years2,400+ sessions

“Getting people so comfortable they genuinely forget there’s a camera pointed at them.”

Yan has been a photographer since 2005, and spent 15 years as chief photographer at Kids Pictures before joining us in 2020. A LaSalle-SIA BA Honours graduate, she has photographed everyone from families to the Ministry of Finance.

She notices your energy first, and how you carry yourself. Her style: “I shoot with intention, always keeping the client’s goal in focus so they get exactly what they came for.” If you feel awkward, she’ll remind you that everyone does at first, and you’ll ease into it together.

Randy

16 years1,900+ sessions

“I show them the photo right away and reassure them.”

Randy spent 11 years photographing corporate events and commercial work before joining us in 2021. He holds the Specialist Certificate of Conceptual People Photography and the Certificate in Studio Photography from NAFA.

He’s known for bringing out each person’s own style and expression. His style in three words: “Playful and present.”

Justin

10 years1,700+ sessions

“I keep it light and easy-going, because the more fun we’re having, the better the photos turn out.”

Justin trained in videography and video editing, and comes from a corporate photography background. He was lead photographer at a local studio before joining us in 2022. He’s our go-to for directing large groups: one of his proudest photos is a company group pieced together from six group shots, and another fits a family of 45 into a single frame.

He notices everything, and if you feel awkward, he’ll point out what you’re doing right, even the small things.

What our corporate clients say

Terence Q.CEO at Singapore Institute of Directors

In preparing to embark on my new journey as CEO of Singapore Institute of Directors, it is important to me to have an updated professional headshot so that I may communicate appropriately the brand of the organisation and what it does – empowering directors to champion corporate governance. In this regard, I’m glad I engaged the photography services of the White Room Studio. Not only did they provide professional advice and captured exactly the kind of corporate look I wanted to portray, they acceded to my request to have my photo sent to me speedily so I could use it in time for the organisation’s official announcement. A big thank you to the team that assisted me that day at the studio!

Jona O.APAC 40 Under 40 – Country Manager for South East Asia and Korea, Leading Global Digital Advertising Technology Company

I believe photos are priceless treasures that celebrate beautiful stories of life's memories. So when I started a new chapter in my career, I chose White Room Studio to capture this moment, and the overall corporate portrait experience had been nothing short of amazing. Not only was the studio well-equipped, the staff are professional and brought a consultative approach which made me feel guided yet comfortable, bringing out my best self and (smiles) throughout the process.
