Born and educated in Hong Kong, had developed a keen interest in photography during high school, and subsequently studied Art and Design at the University of Hong Kong. The duality of working behind cameras, complimented with his fine arts education, had earned him the apprenticeship with renowned commercial photographers in Hong Kong. In the 70‘s, Bernard was appointed the chief photographer for Asia Weekly, one of the leading magazines in Hong Kong. Consequently he became a free-lance commercial photographer/graphic designer.

By 1976, Bernard had moved to Vancouver, Canada, and worked in the photo industry for numerious years including Colorific and Commercial Illustrators, one of the most reputable custom color lab and production house in town, responsible for colour mural enlargement and commercial photo production. Soon after, Bernard setup the first one-hour photo service chain in Vancouver and Victoria.

His accomplishments in art include an innovative photo exhibition, with a semi-abstract theme “Life & Soul” using water and ink technique in darkroom processing, at the Exhibition Hall of Hong Kong City Hall.

In light of the maturity of digital imaging technology in early years of 2000s, together with his drawing skill, Bernard has provoked a spontaneous sense of creativity, resulted the series of “WONDERFUL FIGURE”.
