About My Portrait Studio

It's about capturing that special moment forever. Maybe it's a first step, a moment to celebrate, a loving embrace. Or maybe it's finding a way to freeze time -- for memory's sake -- and capturing the character and soul of you and yours.

It can be done in my studio, in your home, in a park, at the beach or at any party or family event. Sittings generally take about an hour. We can experiment with various poses and outfits as you would like and time permits.

The final portraits can be delivered in a wide range of styles and formats: in color, in sepia, in black and white, on canvas, in different sizes, as if they were artist sketches, or even placed on a DVD with backgroung music. Experience and technology make all that possible.

I am creative, reasonable, and personal. I will work with you to meet your expectations.

About Me

Born in China, raised in Taiwan, and having lived and worked in the U.S. for over three decades, my goal in my art and my photography has been to bring my experiences there to my world here.

Seeing the Western world with an Eastern eye, managing the DOW with Tao, eating tortellini with chopsticks, every day I wonder what my past has made me. Find out, I have used lenses that combine Asian and American sensibilities and glimpse beauty in all shapess and forms.

To the extent that I can recall and understand how my past has continued to shape me, I am convinced that two things in life have intrigued me profoundly: "words" and "pictures." I read and write "words." I draw and take "pictures."

While my published stories and books are in Chinese, my photographs are beyond boundary – they are presented here for you.

I hope that they will help to enrich your own present by embracing the past as I have tried to do.
