Photo Gallery
I picked up photography in my second year in university. Before taking the photography course, I never really appreciated photography as an artform and didn't know what makes a good photo. After learning how to operate a DSLR camera and the fundamentals of photography, I started enjoying and capturing moments of my life with a camera.
Brad & April
When Brad asks you to be his wedding photographer, you do it.
Elevate Group Fitness
I had the chance to photograph my friend Ashley’s first ever pop-up female-only group fitness event. It was an honour to witness these women being empowered through their hard work and dedication to elevate not only their physical health, but mental health as well.
People.
This is a collection of portraits that I took throughout the years. Some are for work and most are for fun. If you would like to collaborate and be a model, shoot me a message on IG @eric.chenguu!
Lulu & Eric
My cousin Lulu and her now ex-boyfriend Eric was celebrating their 3rd year together and I had the pleasure to take photos for this special occasion. We started in a restaurant in Chinatown with a vintage vibe, then went to Yaletown for the Vancouver city skyline and Gastown by the steam clock afterward. We ended our photo session at the famous Lions Gate Bridge just after the sunset.
Honda Celebration of Light
This was my third year photographing the annual Celebration of Light fireworks at English Bay, Vancouver. I used a tripod as well as a remote control shutter so I could do timed-exposure on my shots. Here are some of my best works from this year!
Light Painting with Magilight
Photography ain't cheap. They ain't lying when they say that. I just spent roughly $500CAD on a light painting LED light bar from Indiegogo. Is it worth the price? I'm still trying to find out. But here are some of the shots I took with it.
The Quay to Success
Back at it again with Nikki the model. This time we challenged ourselves to get an outfit from the thrift store and make something out of it. We were shooting in front of the roses and Nikki came up with a genius idea of using bubble gum as a prop for the photos. So we went to a convenient store and got a pack of Hubba Bubba.
West Van Adventures
After a successful shoot with @nikkihorne, it's a no-brainer that we collaborate again. This time, we decided to get some props for the model and play around with bubbles and sparklers. We hiked for an entire day and rewarded ourselves with some Ernest Icecream afterwards (not pictured).
We them boyz
After picking up my new full frame camera, I always try to find time to test shoot with my boys. They recently picked up photography so sometimes I give them some tips & tricks. In return, they take nice photos of me. ;)

Chinatown Vancouver 2018
I was inspired by the IG-famous photographer Brandon Woelfel (@brandonwoelfel) and wanted to try out his style of photography and edits. This was also the first time I put my new Nikon D750 to the test. I am super happy with the turn out from this shoot with my good friend Nikki Horne.
My hometown Taipei
I had the privilege to travel to Taipei with a group of my friends in the summer of 2017. Here are some of the best moments captured with my Nikon D5300.
Beautiful Bali
After Taiwan, we went to Bali Indonesia for my friend's brother's wedding.
