Photography with Arik Chan

I’m not a photographer for hire. I’m a teacher who walks with you.

You use your own smartphone or camera. I show you composition, lighting, and storytelling. You leave with better photos — and the skills to keep taking them.

Photography has been part of my life since 1980. Winning awards since 1986. In 1996, the Singapore Police Force sent me for a six-month Multimedia course at Singapore Polytechnic — my first real classroom in visual storytelling.

Since 2017, I’ve taught photography under PA SkillsFuture. But it’s the years behind the lens — not the teaching — that shaped how I see. Spend decades looking through a viewfinder and you notice angles, timing, and small movements most people walk past.
