An east coast native, Céline’s academic upbringing, layered identity (Chinese American & Swiss), wide variety of photography experiences, and curiosity for understanding the world around her all translate into her work and creative processes.
Her pursuit of meaningful work and passion for environmental storytelling sparked an ongoing project in collaboration with scientists researching the endangered California least tern. She photographs the bird-to-human relationship to promote environmental awareness about shared habitats and to highlight the human connection with nature. Her work has been exhibited internationally.
Céline is a member of Diversify Photo, represented by ArtWorks Creatives, and one of the co-founders of Collective 22.
