About me

Hi, I am a London based photographer and filmmaker. I was born in France, grew up in China and studied in London. After having studied visual communication and moving image in Central Saint Martins where I had the chance to experiment with various mediums of visual arts, I started working in the film and advertising industry as a creative assistant. All the while, developing my artistic expression through photographing my environment, travels and encounters, as well as filmmaking. I am now working freelance as an image researcher / treatment designer for music video and commercial directors, and keeping up my personal work on the side. I am open to collaboration and to new work opportunities in the creative industry.
