About

Hey there, I’m Arik Chan

Welcome and glad to meet you

—a tennis coach by trade, a smartphone photographer by passion, and a beer enthusiast by… well, always. When I’m not on the court teaching serves, volleys, and that perfect backhand, I’m probably out capturing the world around me with nothing but my trusty phone. No fancy gear. No complicated settings. Just me, my phone, and whatever awesome moment I can find.

I’m a big believer that life’s greatest moments don’t wait for the perfect camera setup. Sometimes, the best shots happen when you least expect them—whether it’s a candid laugh, a golden sunset, or that rare moment when your tennis student finally gets the swing right. (Yes, I take photos of that, too.)

So, what’s this whole *smartphone photography* thing about? Well, I run fun, no-pressure photography classes where you’ll learn how to turn your phone into a powerful tool for capturing the best moments life throws at you. From travel trips to everyday life, I’ll show you how to see the world through a different lens and, more importantly, how to *freeze* it—one tap at a time. (See what I did there? 😉)

And let’s be honest: after a long day of teaching tennis or exploring new places, nothing beats sitting back with a cold beer and reliving the photos you just took. Because life’s all about enjoying the journey—and sometimes, that journey involves a *really* cold pint.

**What You Can Expect:**
– Hands-on, smartphone-friendly photography classes that make capturing beautiful moments easy and fun (no DSLR required).
– Expert tips on finding the best lighting, angles, and moments in your travels—or even in your own backyard.
– A chance to learn how to make your photos look like you’ve spent hours editing (but really, it’s just your phone and a little know-how).
– And maybe even a beer recommendation or two to go with those photos. Because why not?

Life’s too short to leave your best shots on the cutting room floor. So join me on this adventure, whether we’re hitting the tennis courts or hopping on a plane to chase the perfect sunset. Let’s capture those *once-in-a-lifetime* moments, one tap at a time.

Tagline: **1 Tap, 1 Moment Frozen in Time.** Now, go ahead—take the shot.
