"What makes me....well, me?  Wow that's a hard one. Well, for one… this Tracy is a dude :) I'm a really active and sociable guy who loves meeting new people. I will appear shy at first but that'll usually go away after the first 3 minutes. I am always curious at heart and will usually take risk. I can be brutally honest at times and even appear to be a total snob or a bitch, but I'm Asian and that's how we do business. JK! I don't remember names, only faces... so please excuse my dense-ness. I am also highly ambitious and always goal oriented."

"Dylan Rosser is one of my biggest idol in the photography world. The image he captures leaves every men and women sweating breathless. The color is just magnificent and you can just feel the intensity, that will kick you right in the face with his photos. The biggest source of inspiration in my life is, of course, my parents. I always loved to prove my dad wrong and my mom just helps, she encourages me in proving him wrong! My dad was one of those parents who say “You should be a doctor, a lawyer, a businessman”… my mom on the other hand agrees,  she had evolved enough  to understand that even a photographer in the US, can be a great businessman.

"If there would be a NEXT Man Dallas version,  I will try to showcase the Dallas men it’ll probably be a shoot similar to that of Chase Collins. I envision a mansion and the luxurious Highland Park lifestyle. I’ll be looking for good-looking AVERAGE build models."

"The recent shoot I did was with models, Chase Collins and Omar Rosales, and I do admit it has to have been the best and most fun shoot I ever had. From where I started when I first ventured into photography to the recent turnout I am very proud of how much I had improved. Chase is an old timer to modeling and he followed great directions. Omar was a newbie and needed little direction. He was kind of tense at first, but as the shoot progressed you can literally see him enjoying himself.  With Chase he pretty much knew what I wanted. We had like a psychic connection. Omar was also great! I just teach him to pose in a way that will bring out his most flattering features"

"Future projects? as of right now, I have three projects in mind, but you'll just have to wait till those photos gets published on the web"

"Though I wish I could be like other photogs and say I’m great at Landscape, Weddings, Wildlife photography and what not, my real passion and focus lies mainly on the advertising world with fashion/physique photography where the settings can range anywhere from a broken down warehouse to the falling edges of a huge tree branch. I prey on intensity and love exaggeration and will do what I can to get that perfect shot - that winning shot that leave my clients going “WOW!!!”."

"Advice for photographers: None… I’m still a newbie myself. To all the photographers out there if you have any advice for me please send it my way! Advice for models: Act yourself… relax, and have fun."

Tracy, like every typical Asians during their growing up years has to endure those piano lessons, he started his at an early age of three. From there, he took up dance classes up to middle school, and played musical instruments all through out high school. Photography is Tracy's outlet to express his inner talents and emotions, "I held my first Polaroid at around year six and immediately fell in love with it. I felt that the world was literally at my hand capturing every essence of the flower :)" When asked whether he encountered any recent oops moments, Tracy replied, "I really can’t say we had an oops moment yet. Maybe a few more shoot down the line. I’ll shoot ya an email and let you know Patric" Couple of month's ago, Tracy had his first photoshoot, so how's his first photoshoot? "I don’t even know if you can call it a photoshoot. It was a combination of boredom and wanting to play around with my new dslr camera. I shot my friend Luis Arroyo and got mad reviews. People were commenting me like crazy telling me I “have the eye”.
