Photographers: Ronald N. Tan
“Born in 1981 Yangon, Myanmar (Burma), I pursued photography autodidactically during summer 2006 emancipating from my well-established milieu of scholars in medicine.Renouncing my academic lifestyle and future career in pharmacy, I am chasing my dreams of being a photographer.”
Why did you pursue photography?
I was “bitten by the shutter bug” when I took an elective in optics at UC Davis around 2002. I was excited because everything about photography from image creation to development process could be mathematically described–it was poetry. It was then. If I see those equations now, I’ll probably run away from them screaming at the top of my lungs. I would not know what to do with them. Or I’ll look at you as if you’re speaking Latin. Photography pursued after me – we were destined to be together. I grew up surrounded by science and intelligentsia. However, genetic inheritance played an interesting trick on me – I inherited a small percentage of my family’s smart genes while the majority went to my two younger siblings. Any artistic recessive traits I inherited from my family are being expressed in me. I have “it” and “it” is still developing and being refined. Read all the interview here!
