Welcome to my Portfolio!
A street/art photographer and a former domestic worker based in Hong Kong since 2013 to October 19,2019. Her affinity for the art came from the enjoyment she took from observing the environment, and admiration of black and white photography. She was fascinated with taking pictures of people's emotions and expressions that depict the realities of life, which reflects her own personality and experiences as a woman and stranger in a place she calls a 3rd home. As a visual artist, her goal is to tell the untold story. Every photo she create are the story of someone else or story of herself.
Photography for her has a wide spectrum it may be Science an Art or Literature. To learn how to see, to be patient and to see photographic potential in everything.
