An award-winning fine-art black-and-white photographer, taking Ansel Adams’ Photography series as the bible and Henri Cartier-Bresson’s ‘the decisive moment’ as inspiration. I use photography to seize a transient moment in full tonality and lend it a certain timelessness. The images capture people in different settings, be they in solitude or moving in droves, under shades of shadow and light, sparking a tad of drama and stories in the scenes.
Dr Samuel Johnson once said in 1777 that “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, for there is in London all that life can afford”. By the same token, when one is tired of street photography one is tired of humanity…for that…I’m still passionate!

一位在國際屢次得獎狀的攝影師，視安塞爾·亞當斯（Ansel Adams）的攝影系列為天書，以亨利·卡蒂爾－佈雷松（Henri Cartier-Bresson）的"決定性時刻"為靈感。  希望透過攝影抓住那瞬息即逝的刹那，並以黑白全色調賦予它一種永恆性。  這些影像捕捉了在不同環境中的人物，無論是獨處或營役於人群中，他們在光影下，默默地誘發出一些令人遐想的情節和故事。
