Whether you are trying to build your own portfolio, need headshots for a professional profile or social media project, or just seeking a helping hand with your new start-up - The Kandid can assist.

Photography

Please visit our sister website Justin Lim Photography. Whether it's a child shoot, a wedding, a corporate headshot or a Hong Kong event photography gig, our aim is to excel and produce images that stay true to our creative roots but also work in a corporate and professional context.

Social Media Management

We have been engaged by several leading brands in Asia, particularly in the F&B and hospitality sector, to manage their Instagram feeds on their behalf, including Hong Kong’s leading coffee atelier. We can help you build your brand or small business with gorgeous visuals, content creation, copywriting, storytelling and influencer outreach. Our founder Justin Lim has over 70,000 followers across several platforms such as IG and 500px.

Instagram Audits

The Kandid provides this service to several high-profile clients who are worried about reputational risk in the public eye. We are able to provide a full report on your social media photos and profile on IG with a full breakdown on which assets might cause you worry in the job market or public arena. This service would suit those in high-profile professional positions who are also engaged in social media on a frequent, personal basis, or companies seeking to refresh their public profiles. Our founder Justin Lim is an ex-lawyer who has worked in communications and publishing, and has 20 years of experience in photo taking and social media content creation. Companies may also consider this service in respect of any reputational risk for potential hires.

Venue Hire

The Kandid's bespoke workspace, complete with textures, backgrounds and styling props, has been hired for a number of uses, such as small parties, tastings and #photojamming parties. Styled in salvage wood with industrial accents, our space has been seen in both Home Journal and Lifestyle Asia. In 2016, a full feature article in Emirates' In-flight Magazine "Open Skies" was dedicated to the space. Brands which have chosen The Kandid as a venue for shoots include LifestyleAsia, Shanghai Tang and MR PORTER.

Workshops

We've given a number of talks at our space and at Garage Society, The Hive and many other venues. Workshops are regularly available throughout the year, covering topics as broad as DSLR photography, Instagram strategy, social media developments and more. Private workshops at our venue or even your own residence are also available, covering topics as diverse as composition, portraiture and street photography. These workshops start at HKD 850 an hour - contact us for a full schedule. We aim to make these workshops fun, interactive and practical.
