👋 Hi, I'm Abby.
I'm a story-teller, photographer, tech nerd and optimistic existentialist.
I'm currently...
specialised in street, documentary and portrait photography.
in the search for brilliant Asian Australians to interview and show off in my interview platform Quiet Achievers!
building a creative arts community based in Sydney; we hold monthly events inviting strangers, friends and those interested to explore and play with their creativity through a new art medium.
I'm passionate about...
capturing life at its gentlest and most beautiful.
all studies of human behaviour from economics to psychology and sociology.
the power of mutual aid as an organisational model & personally crafting welcoming environments for all.
theorising how to improve our current economic system and quality of life.
Current obsessions...
Tenacious Bakehouse, The Will To Change by Bell Hooks, Matt Maltese, Long Shot: The Dice Game...
If any of this resonates, please reach out!
I'm always looking to befriend intellectually curious, optimistic, compassionate individuals who are ambitious about changing the world for the better.

Quiet Achievers
Quiet Achievers is a representative platform that shares and celebrates the authentic stories and passions of a diverse group of intelligent, empathetic, giving and inspiring Asian-Australians.
From politicians to startup founders to artists to climate activists. From first, second, third generation Asian-Australians to migrants who have ended up calling Australia their home.
Along the way, we also explore each individual’s relationship with their cultural identity and look into how that has shaped them as a person.
A labour of love; this project combines my three passions: photography, story-telling and identity exploration.

Photography
I picked up film photography in 2018. It's my first proper passion that I've kept up and continuously iterated on. I specialise in street photography and enjoy capturing how humans interact with our physical spaces. Usually built, sometimes natural. I'm getting into portraiture a lot more.
Simply put, I enjoy finding the beauty in the mundane and everyday.
📷 Cameras:
Film: Olympus OM-2n
