Not long after, he entered the digital age, shooting both photos and video on the latest digital cameras. As an actor and fan of visual media, he developed his artistic sensibility by watching every film he could, by learning lighting and shot composition on film sets, and by applying his lessons to shooting in the field. By the mid-2000s, Ming was shooting photos and directing local videos for major clients such as Bain & Co., Green Dot, Wal-mart and the local Los Angeles international television station.Today, Ming shoots a wide variety of subjects, including headshots, portraits, fashion, street, architecture, real estate, landscapes, Milky Way, night / neon and light painting. Ming also shoots video for clients and for social media. Ming is inspired to capture life’s special moments as well as nature’s amazing offerings.Ming shoots primarily with Canon and Sony equipment, but also has experience with Nikon, Fuji, Minolta and Panasonic video cameras.** The classroom is located on the second floor of our store.
