Shooting Nikon for over a decade — documenting the road from younger days till now.

About

Hi, I'm Philos — a Taiwanese photographer who started shooting with a DSLR back in 2010, and I've been at it for over a decade. I love documenting the road I travel, so most of what I shoot is landscape work. Since my daughter was born I've been drawn more and more to portrait photography and the kind of liveliness it brings into the frame.

For a long time Nikon bodies leaned a bit too saturated for me out of camera, so most of my work used to flow through Lightroom for post. The arrival of Flexible Color Picture Control changed that — SOOC images that I'm happy to ship are finally on the table. That's exactly the reason I started building my own Flexible Color recipes, and the reason this site exists.
