I am a photographer and writer living in Oakland CA. I grew up in Marin County. I am queer and neurodivergent. I am east and southeast Asian. I speak no language but english. I photograph things I love and then I think about them until I feel uncomfortable. I am in love with media: those gaseous ideas that have temporarily collapsed into objects, and whatever plasma exists in between.
In my client practice, I photograph with the same senses through which I pursue my personal work. Despite the incorporeal nature of truth in the captured image, I seek to achieve authenticity and felicity in how I depict my clients. Photographs tend to reveal parts of ourselves that we may be unaware of or are surprised by. My goal is to reveal those parts gently, considerately, joyfully.
