About Artist

Yu Hsuan Su

I am a photojournalist and visual storyteller with the Youth Daily News under Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense. My work focuses on documenting military training, joint exercises, disaster-relief operations, and major missions, capturing the professionalism, resilience, and authentic moments of Taiwan’s armed forces. Through visual storytelling, I strive to reveal the courage, discipline, and humanity behind military life. During my free time, I enjoy traveling and photographing the beauty I encounter along the way—preserving fleeting moments and transforming them into lasting stories.
