Experiences

For people who want something more film-inspired. A little more open, a little more personal. We explore, follow good light, and let things unfold. Bring a strong art direction and we'll build on it together.

An evening, unscripted

Portrait of Francis, photographer based in Pasadena — Francis, Pasadena

Hi, I'm Francis.

I'm originally from Taiwan and now call Pasadena home. Growing up between cultures shaped how I see connection and family, which is why I'm drawn to honest, unscripted moments.

Inspired by film and fuelled by homemade matcha, I make images that feel natural and true to you. Storytelling isn't only for couples. I bring the same care to every branding session.
