Xuan-Hui Ng | Metamorphosis | Xuan-Hui Ng is from Singapore and currently lives in Japan. She began photographing as a form of self-therapy. She was grieving the loss of her mother, who had been both her confidante and her moral compass. The loss plunged her into a downward spiral until a chance encounter with nature set her on her path to recovery. Its vastness gave her a sense of perspective while its beauty reignited in her a sense of wonder and adventure. It reminded her that life is beautiful, that there is so much to live for and to explore. Ng is represented by Foto Relevance, a gallery in Houston. She has been selected for juried exhibitions at the Griffin Museum, Davis Orton Gallery, Southeast Center for Photography, Texas Photographic Society and A Smith Gallery, in addition to placing at Fotonostrum’s 17th and 18th Pollux Awards.

Mike Potts | Underwater | Mike grew up in Pennsylvania and in 2005 moved to Arizona where he’s rarely cold and doesn’t have to shovel snow or cut grass. He graduated from Bucknell University with a major in English and a minor in Chemistry and still wonders what to do with them. He worked at Barnes & Noble for four years and currently pays the bills as a nuclear medicine technologist. This lets him photograph on the side without having to resort to living on ramen and sleeping on friends’ couches. The rest of his time is devoted to various cats (2 indoor and 3 outdoor + the occasional guest as of the time of this writing.) His ultimate dream would be to visit Mars. In the meantime he keeps making pictures.
