A love story from another century. 🤍🕯️

I miss my time photographing in Italy tremendously.

There was a time when I traveled quite often to Florence, Venice, Tuscany, and Rome, photographing couples who flew in from different parts of Asia for their pre-wedding photos.

People often ask me which Italian city is my favorite. Honestly, it’s impossible to choose. Each has its own charm, history, and character, and I love them all for different reasons.

I’ve always been drawn to the old-world romance of Europe. The architecture, the weathered stone, the quiet corners, and that feeling of stepping back in time.

Looking at these photographs makes me miss those days. Perhaps it’s time to return. ❤️

When people (my relatives) asked me, “So, how’s that photography hobby going?” 📸❤️

Well… I picked up a camera in 2008, turned professional in 2009, and somehow that little hobby has taken me around the world, introduced me to incredible people, and given me a life I never imagined.

17 years later still loving every bit of it. ❤️

Not bad for a hobby, right? 😉

Somewhere between two worlds, I found my voice. 🤍

Growing up as a first-generation immigrant in America, I’ve often felt like I exist in a space in between. To some, I’m too Asian. To others, I’m too Americanized. It can be difficult to figure out where you belong when you feel like you’re never quite enough of either.

For a long time, I struggled to make sense of that feeling. But somewhere along my journey, I found photography. 📸

Through my lens, I’ve learned that identity doesn’t have to fit into one box. We can carry different cultures, histories, and influences with us and still create something that feels entirely our own.

Perhaps that’s why I feel so connected when photographing in places like Shanghai, Hong Kong, Macau, and Vietnam. These places carry layers of history, including colonial influences, yet their identities are so much more than that. You see cultures blending together in the food, architecture, art, fashion, and everyday life. The old and the new exist side by side, each shaping the other without completely losing themselves.

There’s something deeply comforting about witnessing that duality. It reminds me that being between two cultures doesn’t mean you’re lost. Sometimes, it means you have the ability to see beauty in both worlds.

And through photography, I’ve finally found a way to express that part of myself to tell stories, preserve culture, and celebrate the beauty of belonging to more than one place.

Maybe home isn’t always a single place. Maybe it’s the feeling of being understood. ❤️

Chinatown thrives nuge part of it because of resilient women who run businesses, create art, and uplift the community. When I began this project in 2020, capturing their strength wasn’t easy-many work tirelessly with little time to spare. But with the support of their families, they made space for this, allowing me to honor their beauty, dedication, and the spirit that keeps Chinatown alive. ❤️

This project has always been about more than taking photographs. It’s about celebrating the women who give Chinatown so much of its heart, character, and energy.
And this weekend, I’m excited to open up this world of Women of Chinatown through my Adobe Photowalk. 📸

We’ll be photographing the incredible Grant Avenue Follies — the Glammas of SF Chinatown — and using Chinatown as our editorial fashion set. Together, we’ll explore environmental portraiture, posing, movement, natural light, and the architecture of the neighborhood while creating images that feel intentional and full of personality.

📅 Saturday, October 3 | 3:00–4:30 PM
📍 Clarion Performing Arts Center
2 Waverly Pl, San Francisco, CA 94108
We’ll start at Clarion, photograph throughout Chinatown, then return to create a few more portraits and talk photography.
Whether you’re an experienced photographer or simply want to come experiment and see Chinatown differently, I’d love to have you join me. ❤️

A little behind the scenes from 2026 Sony Kando trip. 📸✨

A few days of creating, exploring, reconnecting with old friends, meeting new ones, and being surrounded by people who love photography as much as I do.

Between the shoots, dinners, conversations and adventures, Kando always reminds me why I fell in love with photography in the first place. ❤️

There’s a Japanese phrase I love: 「今は今」— ima wa ima.
Now is now. Be present. Enjoy the moment while you’re in it.

And a huge thank you to everyone behind the scenes who worked tirelessly to make Kando happen. We get to show up, create and enjoy it, but there’s so much work behind every detail. So grateful to the entire team. ❤️🙏

Here’s a little glimpse into those moments. 🎥

Somewhere in Iceland, just the two of them. 🤍

Mountains, open roads, endless landscapes… it felt like they had simply run away together and left the rest of the world behind.

That’s what I love about photographing couples in places like Iceland, the images become less about posing and more about a feeling. A little wild, intimate, and free. ✨

And speaking of creating together, I’ll be hosting an Adobe Photowalk in San Francisco this Saturday, October 3rd! 📸 Come create with me. ❤️

Same models, different eyes. 📸✨

One of my favorite parts of Sony Kando was getting to photograph alongside other talented photographers and seeing how differently we each interpreted the same moment.

I had so much fun creating alongside my friend Kesha Lambert, same models, same setting, but completely different perspectives coming through in our images.

Kesha, such a joy creating with you! ❤️
