READ ME & GET TO KNOW ME
Bio
I am an artist and a photographer currently based in Hong Kong, originated from Hong Kong.
Back to 2008, I decided to pursue my passion in art and photography. My art education started from Hong Kong Art School to Speos Paris Photographic Institute with the achievement of obtaining an European Master in Photography.
In Paris, I participated in a few group exhibitions with my fellow classmates in art and photography, and I also received Honourable Mention Awards from international competitions including International Photography Awards Competition (ipa) in US and Prix de la Photographie Paris Competition (px3).
During my stay in Paris, I emerged myself totally in the French culture and my favourite things to do were to stroll around the streets and the parks, as well as to go to exhibitions. Paris at night is also my favourite part for its beautiful light.

Inspiration
My inspirations are mainly from the nature as well as the master art pieces along the history of art.
Facing the nature makes me becoming much aware of my presence from the awakening of consciousness. I connect not only with the nature itself but also the environment around me, everything unite to be one and become infinite. This helps me understand more about myself, as well as the other dimensions of my surrounding. In addition, I am always moved by the arts from the masters along the history, by the beauties, by the aesthetic, by the techniques and by the underlying concepts. The themes in which I am interested are childhood, memory, dream, reality, vanities, identity, visible, invisible, consciousness, sub-consciousness and time.
I am also interested in cultural aspects of cities and has lots of respects to the traditions.
Photography Style
I am highly influent by the French lifestyle; artistic, freedom, spontaneous, detailed and insistence.
Projects
Nature, architecture, human in their environment, portraits with specific themes and an experimental short film are under going or under planning.
