Behind the Camera...

It's been a wonderful journey since I picked up my first camera and started snapping away at the age of 12. Of course a lot has changed since then. I've felt a reinvention of style and found inspiration in the people and surroundings around me. As I continue to delve deeper into this art, I've learned more about the beauty and complexity of life.

There's no doubt that this art is my passion and my outlet. I hope that what you find here is a familiar smile, a treasured hug, an excited leap of joy, an unwavering gaze, or even an intimate moment between a photographer and her subject.

Just Us Session: Nam Sang Wai, Yuen Long

When I lived in Hong Kong as a teenager, I took for granted that it’s all high-rise buildings with the multi-million dollar enterprises lining the skyline of Victoria Harbour. City streets covered with gas guzzling cars speeding down narrow roads while people rush to jaywalk across an already dangerous street… yes, that’s what I remember....

Coffee Talk: Writer Alissa Santiago

I had the pleasure of doing headshots for Alissa’s book, On Stand By. Over the summer, she had a book launch and it was officially sold to the public making it her first (and certainly not the last) book published. As a read, there were many relatable moments. I’ve moved from place to place my...

Hahaha!

I miss being a student. Yah, I know, I like being a teacher too. Can’t really be both at the same time. Sometimes though, I reminiece about the university days. Staying up late. Procrastinating work. Weekends starting on Thursdays. Gaining the Freshman 15. What am I talking about? All that still applies to me now....
