Formally trained in New York City and fire-tested in the underworld of Hong Kong cinema, Jack has taken a colorful path that is defined by a mix of cultural influences.
Jack’s works include theatrical feature films, popular TV drama series, and commercials for international clients - many of which received festival recognitions for cinematography. They are often known for his unique blend of kinetic “camera Kung-fu” of the East and meticulous visual language of the West.
During the 2010s Chinese film boom, he collaborated with leading filmmakers including Oscar-winning cinematographer Peter Pau, HKSC, and director Wong Kar-wai on the epic drama series Blossoms Shanghai. His projects range from large-scale period productions to crime thrillers and commercial campaigns, including the nationwide hit Fearless Whispers and sequel to Netflix-distributed series Day and Night 2. He also explored stereoscopic filmmaking on the theatrical feature The Mirror 3D.
Jack studied cinematography at NYU Tisch School of the Arts, where he received two Excellence in Cinematography Awards, and further trained at the FAMU film academy in Prague.
He is currently based in Los Angeles and works internationally.
