Architectural Photographer @ CoStar Group

About

I’m a passionate photographer of 15 years. I love to capture the nature of beauty in various subjects. My top three would be architecture, event and nature. What makes me a good photographer, I have a keen eye and very good patience. For example, when I lived in Southern California. One of the architecture I took the most was Pasadena City Hall, it’s almost 100 years old building in Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival style. In order to capture the best moment of this iconic building, I would repeatedly go back, trying to capture it at different times or different seasons. When I get a satisfying shoot it’s really rewarding, and that’s one of the reasons that drives me further. In my photography journey, I have explored various avenues, including writing technique articles, teaching photography courses, engaging in event photography, and even authoring books. These diverse experiences have helped me develop strong photography skills, ranging from the fundamentals to post editing. At the same time, effective communication with clients and students is equally important as I pursue this path. I firmly believe that these experiences and skills are crucial for achieving success in architectural photography.
