About

I'm Tye, a photographer, videographer, and PharmD student at Purdue University, based in West Lafayette, Indiana.

It all started in January 2025 when I got my hands on a Sony A7III. What began as a way to document travel quickly turned into something deeper, an interest in how light hits a surface, how a scene is composed, and how a photo can hold onto a moment you'd otherwise forget.

I've shot race circuits in the Midwest, quiet scenes from my time across China, and a lot of everyday moments in between. My setup runs on Sony, A7 V for photos and FX30 for video. My edits lean toward what the scene actually looked like, no heavy presets, just honesty to the moment.

What I shoot

Subjects, style, and what drives the work.

Automotive

Race circuits, parking lots at golden hour, and cars at speed. Cars are sculpture in motion.

Travel

Documentary storytelling across China, the US, and wherever the next trip takes me.

Light

Everything I shoot chases quality of light first. Gear is secondary.

Video

The FX30 comes out when a single frame isn't enough. Motion adds texture that stills can't.

Sony & Glass

The kit I reach for.
