I originally from Taiwan and now lives in Toronto, Canada.  ​I have been a photographer for over 20 years. I am an artist of nature, passionate about life and fervently devoted to artistic advancement. 
 
I grew up with passions toward fine arts.  I am a wedding photographer for over 10 years.  I love my career and am able to mix the passions of my clients with mine.  My profession allows me to create pictures that describe the story of my client's most special day.    

I believe photography is the most naturalistic expression, able to eternalize the memorable moments of life. My passion for the nature world started on a polar bear photography journey and continues for years.  I venture the outdoors, taking photography of wild animals and nature.  I also believe the wonder of nature is to be cherished and appreciated in a way respected by photography.

My wildlife photography adventures expand my view to love more and care for our planet each and every time.  As a wildlife photographer, I also want to raise awareness of endangered species and damages that we have done to our beautiful planet through my lens. I continue my journeys as long as any of my images bring you any kind of emotional feelings or thoughts about the nature we depend on.

My work is my pride where my eyes work with the lens to scope out sensuous imagery.
我是一位定居加拿大超過三十年的極地攝影藝術創作者，接觸攝影20餘年，致力于野生動物的拍攝和保護，渴望用影像的力量來實踐保護大自然的信念，很希望能為地球盡一分力，從影像中告訴我們這個星球上還有其他動物居民在為生存奮鬥著，願能引起人們對大自然的保護與重視。

利用相機，記錄瀕臨滅絕的野生動物，數次在零下50度寒冷極地中等候北極熊母子、登陸在浮動海冰上探訪初生的小海豹等等。追蹤並拍攝影野生動物是具有挑戰性的，需要極度的耐心和時間，和不畏惡劣環境的限制。往往一張成功的作品總是在長時間的等待中來完成。

攝影是一種很自然且直接的表達方式，能夠保留當下的永恆。多年前的一趟尋找北極熊之旅，開啟了我對於探索大自然的熱情，孕育生命的美麗星球是個奇蹟 ! 現階段我選擇繼續以攝影的方式持續的走訪世界各地，拍攝野生動物與大自然。傳達對其的尊重與珍惜。
