Personal Profile
Henry
Lin is a Taiwanese born Canadian. He has worked in several fields
including real estate, sales, database management, and document
delivery in Taiwan. He immigrated to Canada in 1993, lived in
Montreal for 7 years, and started his new life from the ground
up. He studied English, Canadian culture, and eventually Photography
at Dawson Collage where he graduated among the class of '99.
He began shooting professionally in '98, and now speaks and
writes in three languages fluently; Mandarin, English, and lovely
Taiwanese.
Henry first became passionate about the visual arts
while living in his French Canadian "Home-stay." It
was there that he was exposed to oil painting, water colour,
and sketch work which ultimately spawned his interest in photographic
arts. He is now associated with First Light stock agency, the
2nd largest stock agency in Canada, and is finally available
for commercial and private photo shoots after a two and half
year break.
Henry has fully immersed himself in every project
he's taken on. Most recently was his extensive exploration of
Yorkville, the high street shopping center and historical district
of Toronto. He spent over a year photographing the people, events,
and distinct features that make Yorkville what it is today.
His images from Yorkville number in the thousands, many of which
can be seen on his web site 424u.com (a play on his thick Taiwanese
accent "photo for you"). The buzz Henry generated
in the Yorkville community resulted in dozens of new high end
clients, a trend he would like to see continue. Henry
knows there are no short cuts, he is starting from basic portfolio
preparation, advertising his services, and creating masterpieces
from each new assignment. A very creative and diverse photographer,
he excels in styling, props, special effects, concept creation,
lighting, and motion effects. Henry knows his equipment, digital solutions inside and out.
