For us, the ideas that happen behind the lens are always inspired by the lives lived in front. The individual stories and journeys that make every person so unique. We strive to capture them in a way that reflects who our subjects truly are, rather than shoehorning them into a template version of what we want them to be. Want to hear more? Drop us a line, we’d love to have a chat.

Alan Woo

Focus Friendly, Principal Photographer, Ring leader

Life isn’t a series of staged events, so why should photos of your life be that way? I believe in bringing out the natural beauty in people. My direction is simple, my jokes are silly, my angles can be unconventional, but I’m always striving for the best.

Karen Woo

Happy Snapper, Principal Photographer, Chatterbox

I see life through the lens of my camera, always looking to capture natural, honest interactions between people. Those magic moments that can happen when someone is just “doing their thing”.  I’m also a collaborator and creative thinker who’s never at a loss for ideas. Above all else, I’m just a really fun time!

Warm Welcomer, Studio Assistant, Engine room

I like new people, conversations, stories and experiences. I handle the day-to-day, and ensuring our clients know what’s happening and when. I’m here to guide you through the process. If you’re booking a session with us, we’ll get to know each other quite well. Which is something I always look forward to.

Hard Worker, Digital Artist, Perfectionist

I get the pleasure of editing wonderful images that come through Finessence, and enjoy every second of it. I get to go on a photographic journey with all sorts of people and by the end I feel like I really know them! When I’m not perfecting images, I’m out riding my horse or creating fine art images.
