It has been a serendipitous journey for me to have a chance to work as a photographer — something that I really am passionate about. To be able to do what you love for work is truly pure bliss. Life is a blessing, isn’t it?
Photography has always been my passion since I was very young. As far as I can remember, I always have a camera with me wherever I travel. Years ago, I used to spend hours every day in the darkroom processing black and white photos when I was trained professionally — It was such a fond memory that still inspires me every day. I always feel like I have a special connection with the camera and I have always felt that there is something magical when you look through the viewfinder, release the shutter, and capture moments through your own unique perspectives and share them with the world. I really do believe that capturing thoughtfully framed moments via a photographer’s unique carefully selected perspectives and showing them to the world is one of the most rewarding experiences one could ever have.
Having grown up in Asia and lived and extensively traveled across all but one continent of the world for several years, I have gained invaluable insights into diverse cultures. This rich tapestry of experiences has endowed me with a profound understanding and appreciation for people from various ethnic backgrounds, enabling me to establish meaningful connections and work harmoniously with individuals from all walks of life.
Our photography approach intertwines the raw authenticity of photojournalism, the allure of candid moments, the delicate artistry of semi-composed compositions, and the enchantment of fine-art photography. Infused with a touch of fashion and creative lighting, our vision encompasses a multifaceted tapestry that celebrates the beauty in every frame.
Candid and unposed moments hold a special place in my heart, for they reveal the raw emotions and genuine connections that shape your story. However, should you desire, we gladly dedicate additional time to capture exquisite editorial-style photography. It is a chance to venture into a realm of artistry where beauty unfolds with deliberate grace.
Our photographs find inspiration in the interplay of light and shadow, the vibrant hues of color, and even the absence of it. Drawing from the timeless techniques of black-and-white film processing and the evocative charm of film photography, we craft imagery that transcends the ordinary. With a keen eye for creative perspectives, we seek to unveil narratives that reflect not only our artistic vision but, more importantly, the unique personalities of those we photograph. For it is within the essence of who you are that our stories find their voice.
Our ultimate goal is to create timeless photographs that weave together the threads of your journey, capturing the moments that will resonate with you and your loved ones eternally. Through our lens, we embark on a shared quest to immortalize the essence of your life’s most significant milestones, allowing you to cherish the memories that will stand the test of time.
Recently, I was named top 50 photographers in the world by Fearless Photographer (and top 10 in the U.S.), top DC wedding photographers by World’s best wedding photographer and officially a recommended wedding photographer by Washingtonian Weddings Magazine.
