Vanessa Wu - Photographer and videographer with a passion for still life and food. She is ranked as one of the top 200 best Advertising Photographers Worldwide from Luerzers Archive.
Driven by aesthetics, she has become well known for her beautiful, minimalist, yet distinctly feminine style, which references her life long interest in art and graphic design.
