Summary

Detail-oriented photographers with experience in diverse photography styles, including portraits, street, and sports photography. Strengths involve visual creativity cultivated from years of photography experience, as well as software use, such as Photoshop and Lightroom, in order to enhance efficiency and quality. Meanwhile, besides photography, I am familiar with basic mathematical software such as Java, Mathematica, and Matlab, which contributed to my sensitivity in numerical data and supported me with the aspect of science.
