Sea to Sky Highway
This aerial photo captures a coastal highway that hugs the mountainside, threading its way through a dense canopy of towering evergreens. Cars make their way along the winding road, a lifeline carved into the landscape, suspended between forest and sea. Below the highway, a railway line curves gracefully along the shoreline.
The water, a deep, mesmerizing blue, stretches out from the rocky shore, adding a sense of calm against the rugged backdrop of the mountain. Sunlight filters through the trees, casting warm, golden hues over patches of exposed rock, creating a beautiful interplay of light and shadow on the mountainside. It’s a scene that feels both timeless and transient, capturing the delicate balance between nature’s vastness and human endeavor, as if the road and railway have always belonged here, etched into the landscape

This diptych consists of two contrasting aerial photos side by side. On the left, a river weaves its way through an emerald tapestry of forest, cloaked in the canopy of green trees. In soft streaks of white, it feels as though we could almost hear the splash of the creek. To the right lies a different world – a solitary road stretching across a sun-bleached desert. The earth is sparse and quiet, dotted with low, hardy shrubs that cling to the dry soil. A single white car rests by the roadside, small and alone in the vast, empty space. Together, these images sing of contrast: one side teeming with life, fluid and verdant; the other barren, still, and stoic. They capture nature’s dual essence – its lush abundance and its stark isolation – depicting journeys both familiar and unknown.

Beautiful Juxtaposition
The two photos are a beautiful juxtaposition – the aged meeting innocence, heritage embracing nuance. These two figures, each unique in age, culture, and experience, remind us of life’s diverse beauty.

An elder from the First Nations of British Columbia leans over vibrant blossoms, dressed in festival regalia that speaks to traditions. A woven hat shades his face, and his attire is adorned with carved ornaments that sway as he moves. He holds a painted drum, a canvas of ancient symbols and colors that evoke the spirit of mountains and rivers, echoing the land’s stories.

The photo features my little sister. In soft light against a dark, infinite backdrop, her form is simple, silhouetted by the glow that frames her hair in a gentle halo. She stands as a symbol of innocence, potential, and a world yet to be discovered.
Blossom out of the Sand
In the vast desert, a yucca elata rises elegantly with creamy blossoming. The contrast between the vibrant blossoms and the pale tones of the desert creates a captivating scene, highlighting the resilience and beauty of life in such an arid environment. The clear blue sky above adds to the serenity, making it a peaceful and breathtaking moment in nature. By contrast, the photo shows the sand grains leaking from a hand reminding people of the powerless moment trying to grasp something elusive.

Nature’s Treat
Winter and summer, mountains and lakes, skiing and kayak, these are the most relaxing moments in the beautiful natures in Vancouver.
Both photos exude a serene beauty that embodies a vibrant energy. In the skiing resort scene, the bright colors of skiers against the sparkling white snow create a lively contrast. Meanwhile, the bright yellow kayak resting on the lakeside stands out against the tranquil blues of the water, inviting adventure and reflection. Together, these images capture the harmonious blend of serenity and vibrance, celebrating the stunning landscapes of Vancouver and the joyful moments found in nature.
Ambleside Beach & Lions Gate Bridge
Taken on September 22, 2024
Unlike most photos which feature the Lions Gate Bridge in its fully illuminated glamour with bright night lights and views, this photo shifts its focus to the shrubs nearby, putting the plant in the center while blurring the famous Lions Gate Bridge as a background. The unique contrast between the serene foreground and the recognizable landmark implies a new perspective of the things we are so familiar with.
Meanwhile, the small cottage nearby, with its light so bright and inviting, delivers a warmth in contrast of the grey tone of the shrubs.
Magic of Light
These two photos capture the same sewage opening but convey contrasting moods. In the first image, light floods the tube, infusing it with vibrancy as water flows joyfully, symbolizing hope and imagination. The scene is alive, inviting viewers to envision the potential and movement within. In stark contrast, the second photo depicts the tube shrouded in darkness, transforming it into a silent, somber void. Here, the absence of light strips away its liveliness, leaving a stark, melancholic impression. Together, these images powerfully illustrate the duality of this

Nature’s Untouched Realm
Flying an acrobatic drone 4 miles away, I was able to capture the barren landscape of the mountains next to Nasa road in the New Mexico Desert unfolds, revealing majestic mountains. Absence of people accentuate the sense of desolation, giving the scene an untouched, primordial quality.
Eyes of the Rocket
These photos vividly capture the thrilling process of a rocket launch. Equipped with a camera, the rocket documents its exhilarating ascent, showcasing the powerful moments as it leaves the ground and embarks on its journey into space.
Paradise
Whytecliff Beach is my paradise, a cherished haven from my childhood leisure time. The gentle sea, weathered rocks, a small island, and the surrounding woods come together to create a tranquil sanctuary. This peaceful place has always offered me solace, a retreat where I can escape the noise of the world and reconnect with nature.
