In the age of social media, visuals are important, and many of us can only dream of having someone take stunning pictures of us for the ‘gram.
For some lucky passers-by in Singapore, they have that in the form of photographer @raymocaptures who loves to capture portraits of random people and sharing his adventures on TikTok. On 14 Mar, he asked a woman for permission to take her photo because he thought she was gorgeous.
The end results made the woman smile.
RayMo or @raymocaptures on TikTok is a professional photographer and a videographer who regularly goes around Singapore to ask random people for permission to take their photos.
While he’s been doing this for quite some time, his TikTok post on 14 Mar went viral with nearly 400,000 views and over 38,000 likes.
One evening, while considering dinner options at what appears to be a transport hub, RayMo spotted a lady wearing a colourful outfit.
Thinking that she looked gorgeous, he approached her to ask for permission to take her photos. The woman then gave him consent to take the pictures.

During the photo shoot, the photographer encouraged the woman to pose in nearby areas like grassy fields and walkways, and she gamely did her part for the camera. As he snapped away, RayMo observed that the woman had an adorable smile.

Once the photoshoot was over, he let her see the photos that he captured on his camera. Upon seeing them, a wide smile spread across her face, and the woman proceeded to point out her favourite shot.

Throughout the video, the song “Just The Way You Are” by Bruno Mars plays in the background, perhaps a nod to RayMo’s attempt at telling viewers that like his subject, everyone’s beautiful in their own ways.
Many TikTok users praised RayMo for capturing the woman’s photos and making her smile.
One commenter believes the woman was a natural model. She also commended the wonderful photographer for seeing beauty beyond a person’s physical looks.
