About Me



American Chinese, Born in Singapore grew up in Switzerland and UK, moved back to Singapore and now based in Brisbane, Australia. Passionate about photography, wine, coffee and computers and not necessarily in that particular order :)

I'm particularly interested in tableux and fashion photography. I believe that they are accurate reflections of society as a whole and is a truthful mirror about us as individuals. Although clearly staged, these images, like the portrait of Dorian Grey, eerily reflect our social, moral and spiritual health.

After all I believe Pablo Picasso got it right when he said "We know that art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth. At least the truth is given to us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies!"

Got a site up at model mayhem of some of my work. Click here!
