Tzu Chen is a Raleigh, North Carolina based photographer. Trained and licensed as an architect, his love for the building process and architecture have kept him working alongside other designers, making sure their projects look their best in print and on-screen throughout the region. He understands that he's responsible for how the public at large will experience their work and believes photo documentation to be an essential part for any built project. Every project has a unique story to tell and Tzu brings design experience to capture that moment behind the lens.
