Happy holidays, everyone!
While we are all busy with holiday shopping, wrapping gifts, and spending time with our family and friends, it’s also a good time for me to wrap up for 2014! This year has been really big for me in my career! First, I’ve finally found the courage to leave my day job and become a full-time photographer. I’ve always wanted to run my own photography studio since my first ever photography gig back in 2007 with Ryan (my mentor, and now my friend as well). I was still a university student pursuing my dream to become a photographer while working part-time with Ryan on the weekends. I’m truly thankful to him for giving me the opportunity to work with him and he taught me a lot of things about the photography industry.Throughout my internship, I learned how important it is to develop a trusting relationship with every client. Therefore, understanding my clients’ needs is always my top priority in every photo shoot.
This is my first shot in my first wedding photo event. Since then I’ve always prefer shooting with natural light.
Second, maintaining a good client / friend relationship leads me to the next big thing – expanding my experience in Europe! I feel very lucky to have had the chance to work with clients around the world! I started my photography experience in the U.S. traveling from the West Coast to the East, then back to my bustling hometown of Hong Kong, and I’m now expanding my network to another continent! I know I am on the right path, taking my career to the next level where I get to travel with my dream job!
Last but not least, I am very grateful to have a strong team of family and friends to support me. There is a lot more to becoming a full time photographer than just taking nice photos! I am very lucky to have family and friends who have given me a lot of advice and guidance along the way. I probably wouldn’t have made it without you 😉
Looking forward to 2015, I have plans to travel between Europe (mainly Amsterdam) and Hong Kong. With all of your support, the coming year will continue to be exciting and filled with lots of love!
