I love vintage watches just as much as my husband does; they come with a richness of character and a treasure trove of stories. For me, a great watch should stand out and evoke an emotional connection with its wearer, whether through its design language, craftsmanship, or history. But let’s be real, there are no hard and fast rules about what makes a timepiece truly great. Play by your own rules.

Light has shaped my perspective of the world. I work extensively with light to amplify textural contrast, shadow, and tone. To me, light also represents visual simplicity, with the mentality of « less is more » serving as both a challenge and a thrilling journey in my journey of photography.

Fashion is my canvas, where my self-expression takes flight. I relish the contrast of blending high and low styles, all with a hint of edge. I believe authenticity is one principle that will always remain relevant in your personal style.

I was never meant to be a photographer. I suppose it’s a blessing that I was never formally ‘taught.’ No one handed me a rulebook, so I learned to explore without limits. Without the weight of convention, I’ve always felt free to push boundaries— without fear of messing around with the image in post-production. Though my roots are in fashion, I’ve often felt like a stranger in the world of fashion photography, bound by the relentless chase of fleeting trends. My heart gravitates more towards capturing the beauty of a moment, freezing a place in time that speaks to something deeper than what’s found in the glossy pages of a fashion magazine.

I tend to look back to the old masters like Irving Penn and Man Ray for inspiration, but there are many contemporary photographers doing interesting work, such as Alex Webb, Jack Davison, and Sarah van Rij. These photographers value spontaneity above all else. The unplanned moments in their photographs seem to give the images even more presence, capturing a sense of nonchalance as they document fleeting moments.
