Tay Xian Yao



HELLO THERE!
My name is Tay Xian Yao. I am a Singaporean content creator.
​
Growing up, photography is a fundamental skill that I had picked up on. When I was in film school, I had learned to direct and had the opportunity to hand pick my team which helped me to become a better visionary.
​
As a freelancer, the most gratifying moment is to see my client's satisified faces when they received the final product.
​
If you feel that I would be a valuable asset to your establishment, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me. Thank You!
Tay Xian Yao
