About
I take pictures of whatever makes me pause for a second.
I'm Xinyu Cao (Cynthia), a media and communication student with a casual but constant love for photography. I take photos while walking around, traveling, hanging out with friends, or noticing small details that feel worth keeping. This portfolio is a loose visual archive of people I love, places I wandered through, and random feelings I did not want to forget.
