Vivian Hsu Photography
About
I have been a photographer for fashion shows, technology forums, creative portraits, products, advertising, marketing, headshots, architecture, and photojournalism. Having such a varied photography background means I can think quickly on my feet to meet the creative needs of my clients. I have photographed former presidents, professional athletes, A-list celebrities, and many more in my 15 years as a freelance photographer.
I am punctual, easy going, and have a quick turnaround of images to make sure you can always meet your deadlines.

I have been passionate about photography since I was the editor of the yearbook in high school. We had to take photos for certain sections of the book, and that's when I fell in love with photography. I studied commercial photography at the Art Institute of Seattle and have been a freelance photographer ever since.
My photography has been published in most local publications such as Seattle Magazine, The Seattle Times, Puget Sound Business Journal, and many more! Some of my national publications include The Wall Street Journal and Cosmopolitan Magazine. To date, two museums have hung my photography on their walls, MOHAI and The Wing Luke Museum.
