BEHIND THE LENSE
Chymo is a Europe-based photographer specialized in tasteful destination celebrations through delicate, poetic, and emotive photographs. With 10 years of experience shooting film & digital, my approach blends genuine storytelling with gentle, artful direction.

refined candid storytelling
Blending genuine storytelling with gentle, artful direction, I take an active role on the wedding day, intentionally absorbing every element of style, color, location, and the couple’s unique personalities. While employing an organic and documentary style to capture candid moments, I offer subtle direction to encourage genuine movement, raw emotion, and a compelling narrative.
My calm, unobtrusive, and professional presence sets the tone for a relaxed wedding day. Clients often comment on the coming vibe I bring, which helps them feel at ease and natural in front of the camera. With a sensitive and empathetic eye, I’m able to notice and capture authentic candid moments - those unspoken emotions, the subtle gestures, the small but significant in-between moments, that reveal the true depth of the day -
The feelings that you didn’t even realize existed.
a seasoned traveller
Childhood in China and the rest of my life in Europe, I’ve spent the years traveling to 35+ countries. These travels and international experiences give me inspiration and a deep curiosity for the diversity and beauty in human interaction. Embracing new and unfamiliar locations is essential to consistently refreshing my vision.
I’ve been fortunate to cover weddings and photo sessions across 3 continents, from Europe to Asia and North America, from Lake Como to a Normandy chateau and the tropical island of Koh Samui. Working with a multinational clientele, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the diverse ways connections are formed and emotions are expressed across different cultures.

ANALOG & Digital
I’ve been shooting both medium-format films & digital on weddings and sessions for almost 10 years. Trained as a solo-shooter since the beginning of my career, I’ve mastered utilizing these 2 distinct mediums seamlessly: adapting any given environment and choosing the right gear in a split second.
I believe in analog wholeheartedly: the texture, the nostalgic feeling it preserves, the way it can almost “preserve the light“. Shooting with analog allows me to be observant in the moment and encourages my artistic vision.
I also love using digital for low-light situations and those split-second moments. It serves not only as a complementary tool, but an irreplaceable existence in my workflow.
