\"After obtaining my Diploma in Film and Fine Arts at HKAPA (Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts), I went on to major in Cinematography\/Lighting Design, graduating in 2002. Barely a year later, I started working at RTHK (Radio Television Hong Kong) as Director of Photography. My first short film 'Weight Of Light' was an official selection at the Hong Kong Lesbian & Gay Film Festival 2007. In 2009, I was enlisted as the director of photography for a co-produced (NHK & RTHK TV) two-hour drama, shot in Hong Kong and Japan.
\nMy first photo exhibition 'Tell Me How Not to Think About Her' was at Fringe Club Hong Kong in 2010. In 2012, four featured photographers, including me, set up the 'PHOTO NOWG' group. The principles of 'Photo Now' include using documentary snapshots, exploring each corner of the city and recording every special moment.
\nI started taking iPhone photographs a year ago and six months ago I fell in love with Hipstamatic<\/strong> for street photography. I hope to highlight a new approach to photography, through my participation in 'The Underground Scene 2012' exhibition. Right now, I am preparing my first feature length film 'Messiah'.\"<\/em>
