Hello, and welcome 🤍
This blog is a little corner where I share my photography journey, along with the stories and feelings behind my images.
My name is Salvia. I’m a photographer from Hong Kong, now based in London, UK. Photography first came into my life as a hobby. I still remember getting my very first DSLR and heading out with friends who loved photography just as much as I did. We travelled to beautiful places to take portraits, wandered through old streets searching for their quiet (and sometimes funny) corners, and even climbed mountains late at night just to wait for sunrise.
I’ve always loved travelling, and photography naturally became my way of remembering those journeys — capturing the landscapes, the light, and the emotions I felt in each place.
After my son was born, photography slowly became something much deeper for me. Like many mothers, I found myself constantly taking photos to capture his growth and endless cuteness. His tiny expressions and spontaneous actions awaken my sensitive side again and again. Over time, family photography became incredibly meaningful to me.
Family photos don’t just show how we looked at a certain time — they help us remember how those moments felt. The happiness, the connection, and the love we shared together.
My son is now four years old. When I look back at photos from his baby days, I’m always reminded of how quickly time passes. Becoming a parent has allowed me to experience childhood once more through his eyes. We visit flower fields, museums, and explore the changing seasons together. There are so many pure and fleeting moments that I feel deeply compelled to preserve.
Today, my photography style is bright and airy. Growing up watching Japanese anime, comics, and dramas has had a strong influence on my artistic eye. I’m drawn to soft light, gentle colours, and natural emotions. Through my images, I try to capture not only what I see, but also what I feel in that moment.
I know that one day, when I’m older and looking back at these photographs, I’ll be in tears. Capturing these memories is my way of holding onto time — and it’s the most meaningful thing I can do.
