About

About — the journey

Where I come from

Photography has always been more than capturing moments — a way of understanding people, places and the stories that connect them. A timeline of where it comes from.

China · Origin

Where it began

Born in Wuchuan, China — the other side of the world, where the story begins.

Age one · The crossing

Carried across the world

Adopted by a Dutch family at the age of one, and carried across the world to a new home.

The Netherlands · Growing up

Between two worlds

Growing up between two cultures made me curious about identity, belonging and human connection — the foundation of my work.

Along the way · The camera

Learning to look

Photography became my language — a way of understanding people, places and the stories that connect them.

2024 · The return

Returning to the beginning

In 2024 I returned to China for the first time since my adoption. Photography turned deeply personal — an ongoing documentary about identity, adoption and the search for home.

Today · M/LOU Studio

The past, in every frame

Today I create visual stories that combine authenticity with strong creative direction — always searching for work people genuinely connect with.
