DIONNA LEE, 30
The former engineer and her husband, Sean Ashley Gabriel, started posting their travel snaps on Instagram in 2013. Then they opened photography studio Oooze, which specialises in still-life styling, set design, and photography. Clients include P&G, Samsung and The Ritz-Carlton, and assignments have taken them to Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Kuala Lumpur this year. “I have this crazy idea of merging photography and motion graphics. It is still quite a niche skill here. Photography has some limitations, so if we know animation, we can incorporate it into our still-life work to achieve, say, the perfect-looking bubble for our clients.”
“This year has been quite incredible – we had opportunities to travel for work for the first time. The projects are getting bigger now. We are planning to slowly evolve into a production house where we will continuously build on in-house visual content creation in both stills and motion.”
