At my core I’m a competitive athlete. Years of advanced Taekwondo training and heavy strength conditioning led to high-level competition and awards — and gave me a deep appreciation for human mechanics, movement and resilience.

That understanding of physical dynamics flows into my photography. My early interest was in the technical math of a camera, but athletics pushed me toward high-action shooting — hanging from ropes to capture tree-climbers in the mountains of Yangmingshan, or framing the perfect split second.

I also use visual storytelling for social impact: I founded a senior fitness brand that challenges stereotypes about ageing, photographing authentic, empowering stories of older adults with a local long-term care association.

Off the mat and away from the camera, I code — building predictive algorithms in Python and R that analyse sports performance, like modelling which ice-hockey positions and zones yield the highest scoring probabilities. Across all of it, the thread is the same: decoding and elevating human performance.
