Doug Tsang
Artist bio:
Doug started taking photos at a young age, with his own Meikai plastic lens camera. He has since explored the joys and frustrations of both darkroom and lightroom photography. Counter to his training in engineering, he prefers the serendipity of handheld shots, snapshots, and the journalistic style. He loves traveling, meeting people, and cooking, so his subjects often include people, their reactions and interactions, as well as their interactions with food. He’s lived in Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Rhode Island, New York City, and finally settled in Western Washington State for its seasons, its sunny and rainy days, and the range of outdoors activities. He holds an ScB from Brown University and an MBA from Columbia Business School, and is currently a software engineer doing what he loves – analytical problem solving.
Artist Statement:
Light and Shadows – without light and shadows, the world would be but a flat display of colours without depth, contrast, hue, tone, and vibrancy. In this collection, the artist attempts to show how the differentiation and integration of light and shadows make the world whole and balanced.
