About Me
Syd Wong is a still photographer & on set social content shooter based out of Vancouver, BC. After graduating from British Columbia Institute of Technology’s (BCIT) Radio Arts and Entertainment program, she continued her studies to expand her multimedia knowledge with attending BCIT's TV and Video Production program.
From watching bonus features on DVD's, sitting at live tapings for shows to walking past shooting locations, any glimpse into the film industry sparked her excitement to pursue this industry. Growing up surrounded by social media, her creativity flourished with the tsunami of content being produced and uploaded daily. Her love for music and photography collided when she began shooting concerts. That then translated to shooting behind the scenes on music videos, to short films and now she is a main unit still photographer for Film & TV.

As a still photographer she essentially becomes a fly on the wall, watching and noticing all parts of the production. She captures moments when cameras are rolling to promote a project through key images and occasionally set ups of a scene for a behind the scene look into the set.
In 2019 she launched her own artist interview video podcast on YouTube called “The HangOut with Syd Wong,” where she worked closely alongside musicians and other artists to tell stories about how music impacts lives in different ways. Her passion for the arts was recognized by BCIT and LINK magazine with in-term scholarships and a photo feature in the January 2020 issue. Her work has been published in various platforms like The Vancouver Sun, The Georgia Straight, the Globe and Mail, Entertainment Weekly, Variety and more.
With the increasing demand for social content, there was a new market looking for on set social content. She now also works an on set social media producer for various TV & Film projects. Working alongside a team to capture creative concepts with talent, she puts on a director's cap to excite audiences through these short form iPhone videos.

As a full-time still photographer and on set social content shooter, she has found herself working with networks like Hallmark Channel and Lifetime. Constantly looking for her next project to work on, she's beyond grateful to even be living her wildest dreams.
