Hi – I go by Pu. My work has taken me through waist-deep floodwater, migration paths in the Americas and into homes of storied families across the continent. My journalism career kicked off as a staff photographer, and eventually managing editor, at the Daily Texan, the student newspaper of the University of Texas at Austin. In college, I complimented my journalism with a degree in anthropology, which took me on a deep dive exploring why people are the way they are. That knowledge guides my photography today. When not working on assignments, I am exploring projects on migration, identity, and culture
