Photography is a passion. Why do you feel passionate about taking photos? I took my first camera when I went to rural village for teaching children English in the mountains 8 years ago, by that time I realized that I enjoy taking pictures from then on. My career path is closely connected to my personal history, French literature is my university major and I spent many years in France, both studying and working. I worked in Richmont before, where I got the chance to shoot fashion, and got addicted to it eversince. With fashion photography, I got to know numerous talents and interesting people, met with hundreds of thousands of incredible challenges. I am creating my world and expressing myself through my visual language, which empowered me a lot all the time. Then I realize, yes, this is what I want my life to be.
What do you like about VOLANT? Freedom and stylish, those are what I appreciate Volant Magazine the most. And I believe working with Volant will come out with great images and result. I am looking forward to work with volant again in the future.
