Welcome and thanks for taking the time to read my bio. I'm Chen Lim, a photographer from Sydney, Australia. I currently specialise in the following:

- Fashion photography
- Personal portraiture
- Model and actor portfolios
- Themed and customised shoots
- Corporate or social events

From the time I held my earliest camera at the age of 13, I was hooked. I had a 35mm Olympus OM-1, a hand-me-down with a broken built-in light meter. This necessitated hundreds of infuriating hours of trial and error in mastering the correct exposure. While other kids played truant, I wagged classes to be in the darkroom lab at school, teasing out underexposed shots and taming overexposed ones. It was a matter of time before I built my own makeshift darkroom in the family bathroom, which culminated in my involvement as the principal photographer for my school yearbook, my first published work.

Photography waned as a hobby in my twenties, when life was fast and other priorities took over. In my thirties, photography returned with a vengeance, in the form of digital photography. Initially I was amazed by pictures depicting nature's interplay of light on landscapes in low light conditions but inevitably, I became infatuated with portraiture, and have not looked back since.

My latest interests include photographing vintage women's fashion, especially of influences from the 30's and 60's era. I'm currently seeking models on MM who have similar interests to volunteer on a TFP basis. If that is you, I'd love to hear from you!
