Tell us a bit about yourself.

Hello everyone, I'm a photographer from Shanghai, China. I specialize in still life and automotive photography. You can call me Zen.

What’s your favorite item on your desk?

Hexcal Studio and Blackmagic Micro Panel

What are some products or software that you frequently use for work or entertainment?

In my work, I frequently use the Mac Studio and Cintiq 16HD. In terms of software, Photoshop, Lightroom, and Final Cut Pro are consistently open and in use.

What niche interest are you up to recently?

Making models and collecting Coca-Cola cans from around the world.

Do you work from home? If so, do you have any tips for a home office setup?

I will have a considerable amount of time in a work-from-home situation. Regarding remote work, I personally feel that one important aspect is having all work-related items within easy reach. By setting up the desk in a way that creates the most comfortable environment, it significantly enhances work efficiency.

What's your desk setup aesthetics?

In reality, I haven't given much thought to the style of the desk setup. The primary focus is on the convenience and comfort for both work and leisure. If I were to categorize it, I would say it might lean towards a hardcore style, if any.

Your advice for beginners getting into Desk Setup.

Desktop setup isn't about the price of a specific device; it's more about whether it fits well into my desk environment and serves a high utility. My personal suggestion is to first consider whether a device plays a crucial role in your work or entertainment and then think about aesthetic aspects.
