We came, We saw, We captured!
We are a Sydney based Photography team, we love to create art and beauty, and doing so with a positive message.
Here at Hong Cao Photography & Design, we believe that every client has their own unique vision, and we are here to bring that to life.
We believe that everybody is beautiful; that you don’t need to look a certain way, be a certain race, age, weight, height, or gender. Making somebody look beautiful is easy, but our purpose here is to make people feel beautiful.
Like the quote “Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart” by Kahlil Gibran; beauty is not about what you see aesthetically, it’s about inner beauty, and we hope to show that to the world.
Nhat Cao
Nhat was born with a creative background, she has spent her life exploring different types of art methods such as photography, digital media, costume design, and traditional art; anything that utilizes her sense of creativity.
Her pursuit of new experiences pushes her to explore new boundaries and push her limits. Her ability to blend her unique perspective and her attention to detail is shown through her work.
When she is not creating something new, she could be found working on her chicken farm, exploring the world, taking photos of her tiny dog, or surrounded by her loved ones.
Nathan Hong Choy
Nathan is a down-to-earth guy with an approachable attitude. He is fun loving and cheeky, but he gets the job done when it comes to his professional work. He is friendly and has an appreciation for people of all walks of life.
His passion for photography started when he discovered the stunning landscapes he saw during his many motorcycle adventures. From then, he purchased his first DSLR and started researching into techniques of capturing the perfect image.
You can always find him behind a camera capturing his daily adventures, whether it is on hikes through the Australian bush land; overseas in a tuktuk immersed in the exotic cultures, to long rides down the mountain sides.
