Behind the lens
Hello ! Bonjour

I am Thea, the owner of Da Silva Portraits. 

With a background in Finance and over a decade of experience in the fast-paced environment of Hong Kong, I discovered a way to slow down and embrace my passion for photography behind the daily figuers and reports. The unique blend of finance and art are not only enriches my professional life but also fules my passion for exploration and personal expression.

My photography journey began at the age of three when I received my first film camera, a treasured gift from my grandfather. From that moment, photography became a vital part of my life. He taught me invaluable lessons—

from how to properly hold a camera to the patience needed for developing photos. 

At 17, I acquired my first Canon EOS, which accompanied me through countless life stages and adventures across the globe, providing me with fresh perspectives on the world. I further honed my skills by enrolling in a photography academy in Paris, where I completed my professional training. 

Though time passes quickly, the memories of my grandfather making me laugh behind his lens are still etched in my mind. Now, my daughter holds my camera just as I once did, fostering a beautiful continuity of our family tradition. 
I aspire for our love of photography to be passed down to the next generation. 

As the French say, "La vie est faite de petits bonheurs." Let’s cherish every moment with our loved ones and capture the memories that will last a lifetime.
