I am a Photo Editor at Bloomberg based in Hong Kong, mainly covering the Asia-Pacific photo desk.
Before joining Bloomberg, I was a freelance photojournalist who collaborated with major international news organisations, including AFP, Bloomberg, AP, and EPA. My work has appeared in leading publications such as The Washington Post, The New York Times, TIME, The Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Financial Times, The Guardian, The Economist, and Al Jazeera English. I also worked as a photo editor at CNN. In addition, I worked as a news producer on the news and planning desks at Al Jazeera’s headquarters in Doha, Qatar.
My photography covering the 2019 Hong Kong protests garnered international recognition, including winning first place at the International Photography Awards and the Budapest International Foto Awards, being shortlisted for Prix de la Photographie Paris (PX3), and receiving a Highly Commended award at Belfast Photo Festival. My project was also exhibited at the Helsinki Photo Festival.
Additionally, Al Jazeera English won a Bronze Award at the New York Festivals for its television coverage of the protests. I have covered a diverse range of feature stories and significant political events, including Hong Kong’s handover anniversary, elections, the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the introduction of the National Security Law, and the death of Queen Elizabeth II. I have also contributed feature stories to the local culture magazine BeingHK.
