Biography: Always wanted a cool looking camera, so I got it. Realised that I not only could I look cool now but I could take much better photos than with my HTC Touch

Been going out each weekend to find more subjects to photograph, now I'm beginning to realise what type of photography I like the most. This is my new hobby and possibly passion.

I'm just a hobbyist and don't have any kind of photography background; I spend a few hours every weekend just messing around and trying to improve my skills. I seem to buy and sell a lot of cameras and accessories and gear, but don't hold that against me. My next purchase will be a Gorillapod and after that a UWA in the horridly expensive Micro 4/3 mount.

Biography: Having a renowned photographer for a father, Zen was almost born with a camera in his hand. His early work strongly reflected his father's guidance as the family worked and lived in China, Malaysia and Australia, but his own passion and breadth of multicultural influences led him to develop his own modern yet uncomplicated visual style in both photography and graphic design.

Another family trait Zen inherited was an uncanny knack for business, which resulted in his graduating from LaTrobe University with a Bachelor of Commerce degree in 2008. He plans to combine his passion for the visual message, his multilingual skills and entrepreneurial flair to be successful in life.
