Darren Francis Photography | Award Winning Photographer | Singapore

Darren Francis is a fun loving personality who has always had a fascination for arts of all forms. From illustrations of creatures from the world of fantasy to break dancing and even jamming with his electric guitar, he loves them all.

Darren started photography as a child and was a member of his school’s photography club during his teens. He graduated from Nanyang Polytechnic with a Diploma in Engineering Informatics and later from Monash University with a Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology.

Having had a strong interest in both visual and performance arts from the beginning, he decided to follow his heart. He started taking on photography assignments of different genres in 2008 and turned professional in 2009. Darren now provides a wide range of photography services and is also the lead photography trainer for Sony Digital Workshop and Sapura Imaging Singapore.

Taking a picture isn’t just about clicking a button; it allows him to bring his imaginations to life. A perfectionist by nature, he strives to create each picture better than the last.
