Vic's photography has been described as "subtle and very poetic" by a National Geographic photo editor. His artistic eye was identified by his family at an early age, symbolized by his father buying him a hand-me-down brownie camera. His passion culminated in the formal study of Fine Arts, where he developed his natural skill in design, drawing and painting.

Vic's love and commitment to art stem from his sensitivity to people and social causes. He officially started his photography career in the Air Force, where his published work garnered numerous awards. Later, he embarked on a graphic design and freelance photography career. His first stop was as an art director and photographer for a nationally distributed Asian-American newspaper. His 15-year long love for photography has led to projects in Europe and Asia, recently participating in VII Photo Agency photojournalism workshop in Bali, Indonesia.

He now contributes to major newspapers: S.F. Chronicle, SJ Mercury News, Palo Alto Daily News and Las Vegas Review Journal. When he's not on assignment, he works on personal projects which focus on human rights issues. He tries to depict the essence of each event by capturing the subject during that once in a lifetime moment. Vic's success as a photographer stems from his demeanor. His quiet and down-to-earth nature makes him a very observant photographer, conscious of all his surroundings.

That's the sensitivity he brings to his wedding photography as well. Many wedding couples, who are amazed by the variety and beauty of his pictures ask him, "How did you see and capture that happening around us?" Vic is constantly motivated by the pure joy and special memories that photography captures.
