FIAP News requested Diana Chan write about herself and winning this award. The following are her words  

Photography is my passion.   

I have been a medical doctor by profession for 40 years and am a passionate amateur photographer. Over the years my time was very much devoted to my career and family until my three children had grown to adulthood and become independent. With my sons now surgical specialists, I have had more free time for myself. I picked up photography as a hobby in 2016. I started first with travel photography after experiencing the beauty of nature with an amazing sunrise. Photography motivates me to take more journeys to different parts of the world and enables me to connect more with people and Diana Chan different cultures as well as with nature. During the pandemic when trips became impossible, my passion for taking photos was fulfilled by macro photography and I was soon amazed by the wonders of the micro-world. With my images, I wanted to reveal the fascinating minute creatures that people are unaware of or those unseen by the naked eye. Through the eyes of my camera and capturing photos, the world has become more colourful and meaningful. Ibegan to participate in various international exhibitions in 2021. Throughout my endeavours, I continue to learn and expand my interests in various areas and themes of photography. In the past three years I have achieved honours and distinctions from FIAP, the Royal Photographic Society, the Asia Photographer Union, Agile Photographic Society, Hong Kong Art of Photography Association, HK Photographic Society and the Nicosia Photographic Society. I ranked in the Top Four in the world in four divisions of the PSA Who's Who for 2022, these being Colour Projected (ranked 2d), Monochrome Projected (ranked 4th), Photo Travel Projected (ranked 3'd) and Nature Projected (ranked 3d). The year 2023 also saw me achieve second place in the International Garden Photographer of the Year, Macro Art. With the hope that my photos can help bring positive sentiment to patients, I am indeed humbled to have been bestowed a photo gallery under my name at the Chinese University Hong Kong Medical Centre to share my images. lam immensely honoured for the recognition of Best of the Best from FIAP, and I am grateful that FIAP has been part of my photographic journey. One can gain knowledge and improve oneself via the platform and patronage of FIAP. The accomplishment of Best of the Best is a significant milestone in my life and a major motivation for me to continue to evolve and excel, to convey the beauty of the world from the universe to the exquisiteness of the minutiae through photography as well as to further pursue my passion.
