Ukraine: The Terror of War
Such merciless attacks have caused irreversible impacts on the Ukrainian livelihood, killing tens of thousands of adults and children and those who were enlisted to fight back, injuring countless innocent, damaging enormous amount of properties and devastating metal health of the population.
Between March and August 2022 and in October the same year, the 22-year-old Asian photographer travelled across war-scarred cities, towns, villages and the frontline to document how the Russian invasion has caused significant impacts on the livelihood of the Eastern European country.
He has been working with several international news agencies, including EPA Images, The Guardian, AFP, AP, ZUMA Press, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Initium. In particular, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine unfolded in February 2022, Daniel, in his 22, took the initiative to enter the war-torn country in the first week of March.
During his six month stay in Ukraine, he traveled to different war-torn cities, towns, villages as well as front lines in Donbass, reporting on the aftermath of Moscow's brutal invasion and its prolonged impacts on the most vulnerable groups. Pieces of his work have been published for headlines by international agencies such as the BBC, CNN, The Guardian, The Times, Time, The Wall Street Journal and some other European news media.
Daniel has received education in the city of Hong Kong and lived in different places like Taiwan, Mainland China and more, giving him the ability to use English, Cantonese in a fluent manner and Chinese in a practical way, while having the understanding of cultures of both the West and the East. His on the ground photo coverage of international hot issues has led him to more than 30 awards in renowned competitions such as French IPX, Budapest International Foto Awards, Tokyo International Foto Awards, New York Feature (Emerging Photographer) Awards, Hong Kong's FOCUS AT FRONTLINE, Taiwan Press Photo Contest and more.
