About Me

Hey there, I'm Will. I'm a second-year university student in Macau , I really enjoy things like photography, movies, music, and painting. I even used to be part of a little band and can play the guitar.

I love music - I really dig a lot of folk,punk,midwest emo stuff. But I'm always open to exploring new genres and artists.

One of my big passions is traveling. I'd love to get the chance to visit all sorts of new places and meet people from all walks of life. I think experiencing different cultures and environments would be super inspiring for me creatively.

Right now, I'm actually working on putting together a portfolio of my work. I don't want to limit myself to just photography and painting though. Through my travels, I'm hoping to capture all kinds of visuals - landscapes, the people I meet, little slices of daily life. I want to experiment with blending those elements in dynamic and unexpected ways.

I can develop film and do black-and-white film enlargement on my own. I'm using this process to create my artworks.

I feel that people nowadays are living at such a fast pace. Even creating an image has become quite simple in this day and age. I hope my work can be more emotive. Compared to traditional arts like painting and sculpture, which can take months to create, photography only requires the click of a shutter. That's why I've chosen to extend the creation time and pour more emotion into the process.

Oh, and just to give you a bit more background on me - I'm fluent in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. I can get by in Portuguese for everyday stuff too. Being multilingual has definitely come in handy, especially with my interest in exploring new places.

Anyways, I'd love to hear more about your own creative pursuits and interests. Maybe we can bounce some ideas off each other! I'm always eager to learn from others and get a fresh perspective.

I come from Macau, a city fulfill with gambling and hotels, I hate life that everyday seems the same,the main reason that I travel is “escape from the urban life”
I've come to realize that human life is limited, . That's why I want to live in the present moment, do the things I want to do, and enjoy life to the fullest without any regrets. This is the meaning behind my travels.

I want my work and my life to convey a sense of vitality, emotion, and human warmth to others. I also hope that during my travels, I can take photos for you. I believe that every encounter holds meaning.

By the way if you need a hand for the garden, doing the dishes, pet sitting or even housekeeping just let me know! Im really appreciated.
