Hi, I’m Shirley.
An award-winning portrait photographer specializing in portrait and personal branding with an editorial edge.
Born in Hong Kong. Raised in the UK and US. Based in Brooklyn, New York.
I have travelled the world and know what beautiful looks like and I can see it in you. I create magazine-style portraiture that celebrates and empowers you.
A portrait session with me is more than just taking pictures, it’s an experience. I will take the stress of having photos taken and direct you in posing and expressions. Not only will you have incredible images that will remind you of how amazing you are; you, your loved ones, and your future generations will cherish these photographs for years to come.
Get in touch.
If you’re looking for images that celebrate what makes you extraordinary, I’d love to hear from you.
