Every story has a beginning. This is mine.

I left Singapore with a suitcase, a camera, and armed with a stubborn kind of courage. Canada was a new beginning, but also literally half a world away from everything I knew. Photographs became my anchor, a proof of love, memory and belonging.

Canada is where this passion began. Not in studios or classrooms, but in the ache of homesickness and building a home and career. My camera became my memory keeper, my way of preserving the moments and the emotions I want to live forever.

For over a decade, I built a career in the sales corporate world. Sales targets, deadlines and spreadsheet became my day to day. On the outside, it looked steady. On the inside, my fire belonged elsewhere creatively. Every time I lifted my camera, I felt closer to myself than I ever did at a desk.

So I chose differently. I chose to chase what sets my soul on fire.

Now, I am a natural light photographer in Ottawa, creating cinematic portraits where emotion meets light and shadow. My work isn’t just about capturing faces, it’s about telling the stories that you will never want to forget.

This is my chapter now. One built not on fear, but on memory, emotion, and the belief that some moments deserve to live forever.
