In terms of personal interests, I have a passion for photography and the Red River Civilization study, with the Three Teachings (Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism) as my guiding principles.
- I study Confucianism to learn how to interact with others in society
- I study Taoism to understand how to deal with myself
- I study Buddhism to seek harmony with all things
In terms of expertise, I am a photographer, a digital printing specialist, and a content writer.
As a photographer, I specialize in portrait photography and documentary both commissions and artistic images in the form of prints and photo books.
In the field of printing, I am the founder of VG-Lab printing studio (since 2017), and a co-founder of the East Asia Art Painting brand (since 2017)
Additionally, I am also the owner of Hoa Ta Gallery (since 2022), specializing in the trade of Asian art pieces ranging from photography to calligraphy and a few things in between.
