What do you photograph and why?
"I photograph people mostly in a place or happening and hope to get a glimpse of their personalities as well as document moments worth remembering. I have also developed an eye for fashion and beauty and really embrace the creativity I find in those settings. But my passion has always been travel photography."

Who and what inspires you?
"I'm mostly inspired by the talent and passions of my peers, love of family and my incredible wife Chau, as well as the cultures and beautiful nature around the globe."

What is your relationship like with NYC? How does it resonate with your work?
"NYC is a rhythm and beat I love to step to. It always finds me wherever I go and always pulls me back when I leave. It's really the most engaging place in the world. Plus, it keeps me close to family and friends. My wife and I cherish the memories we've made here. I'd say the relationship will be lifelong in one way or another."
