These two cheques represent more than just numbers—they symbolize a promise I made when I started this journey. A promise to use photography not just as an art form, but as a means to create real, lasting impact in the world. At Holdinghands Studio, we believe in the power of art to tell stories, evoke change, and bring communities together.
From a humble beginning with a donation of $400 to now contributing $2,036, we are proud to say that Holdinghands Studio remains steadfast in its commitment to giving back. As part of our mission, 20% of all proceeds go directly to supporting FAST (Foreign Domestic Worker Association for Social Support and Training) and HOME (Humanitarian Organization for Migration Economics), two incredible organizations dedicated to improving the lives of migrant workers in Singapore.
Why This Matters: The Power of Community and Impact
This journey wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support of our community—photographers, partners, and believers who share our vision. Together, we've demonstrated that art is not just about creating beautiful images, but about fostering compassion and making a meaningful difference in society. I want to take this moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported us. You are an essential part of this journey, and your contributions are helping us move forward with purpose.

At Holdinghands Studio, we are just getting started. We look forward to continuing to use photography as a tool for positive change, and we invite you to join us on this exciting journey.
