So i've been telling everyone in the past 10 odd years that there is no way in hell i'm going to shoot weddings.. Then 12 years on, after knocking back countless weddings, I have decided to shoot it. Another tog approached me as a joint venture, but I only said yes to the condition that i am the director and the decision maker of the business.

So now I got myself into the mess of starting this new business all over again.., separated from my other commercial photography, the next few months will be time spent on the business development and i want to do whack a niche with it.. i would hate to do this for a lifetime.. but i give myself 5 to 6 years then i'm done..

I contacted my MUA and stylist to do a mock wedding shoot for me.. so that's in the works. omg its a bit exciting i guess..

Born in HK, raised in Melbourne from age of 8, moved to Sydney at the age of 23. I have worked in the interactive media industry as a producer and designer, winning several awards and recognition in Australia and abroad.

When I relocated to Sydney early 2000, I started to work full time in photography, started off in advertising, then I branched out to shooting people, actors and fashion. I like to be skilled at different things.. next I will get onto interaction design, architectural facade.. I just love the beauty of structures). I get my inspirations from various art form such as moving arts, video performances and reading about world issues.

When I am shooting a portrait, I draw upon my years of experience from working with actors as a filmmaker and collaborating with choreographers and other artists on stage. It is through workshops and communication (online or in person) that I get to know them on a personal level. I like emotions, characters and sparks / dynamics on the final print. It is probably easy to ask the model to pose and you click the shutter, but I'm not interested in that aspect of photography. I want the viewers to interpret / critique what is going on in the shot.. Above all, i like storytelling.

I am hoping to gain some international exposure on here, so maybe next time I visit HK (as well as Europe in time). I welcome the opportunities to work / meet with some of the talents there. Should be exciting!!
