Wrencher, Racer, Photographer

I’m a photographer who grew up in Hong Kong, now based in Boston. Most of my time is spent photographing cars of all sorts. Despite not growing up with cars directly (as they were hard to access in HK), I grew fond of all things automotive. Fifth Gear and Top Gear were routinely shown on TV, toy cars dominated my closet, and talk of the most recent F1 race was commonplace.
I've come to appreciate all aspects of the automotive world. Working on cars, racing them, and photographed them has opened up new perspectives that I never used to have.
I believe that there is so much more to a car than meets the eye. Many hours can be poured into the tiniest of details that won't ever see the light of day—and having interacted with vehicles in so many ways allows me to view them from a completely unique angle.

After finishing first in the Sim-Racing Competition, I'm pictured with Bucky Lasek after receiving a signed board from him.

Photos can be more than just the event you're at. It can be the road that lead up to that place.
I’m drawn to cars with presence and character. In a society dominated by consumerism, being a "car enthusiast" has slowly lost its meaning. To me, it's about far more than just the badge on the back of a car. It's the hours spent wrenching, developing parts, the miles driven, and the stories left to tell.
