Quick Bio

Based in Georgia, USA. Self taught photographer starting with a Manual AE-1 back in 1990's. Didn't really take it seriously until 2004 when I got a 20D. After years of teaching myself, and eventually others I decided to go to school for photography in 2009. I'm currently enrolled at Gwinnett Technical College and I'm loving it.

I'm somewhat of a Canon fan - mostly their lenses and Camera bodies. In such I have owned the following Digital camera bodies before.

D30, D60,10D (3X),20d (2X), 30D (2X), 40D(2x), 5D (2x), 5D Mark II (2x), Mark III (1x), Rebel (1x), Rebel Xt (2x), Rebel XTi(2x), Rebel XSi(2x), Rebel T1i (1x), Rebel T2i(2x), 7D (1x),

I try to keep 2 main cameras so unfortunately the third gets sold a bit...which explains a lot of why there was repeated purchases above.

Testimonials (10)

Gilliam Photography says:

"Really goes out of his way to create an awesome image."

12th May, 2011
Dawn Kinsey says:

"Trent is a great photographer to work with. I'm a model and I've shot with Trent several times. I always look forward to working with him. He is patient, creative, kind and always treats me like a lady. His work is AMAZING!"

18th December, 2010
Emmy G. says:

"Trent is, without a doubt, the most helpful photographer I know. He is free with his knowledge and won't hesitate to put equipment in your hands so you know exactly what you're dealing with. And I don't just mean that in a dirty way. That he's talented goes without saying; that he's friendly and altruistic most certainly should be said."

24th September, 2009
ashzelly says:

"Trent, is not only a magnificent photographer, but also a radar for the more subtle or hidden beauty's of those around him. He can turn anyone into a model by capturing the reflection of confidence he inspires on their faces."

30th June, 2009
Dubtastic says:

"Trent is an enigma. A man among boys. His photography talent exists on a level that few will ever understand. At a shoot, he was already uploading images to Flickr that he had not even taken yet. 8 of them made Explore within seconds. Yahoo staff contacts him on a regular basis begging him to upload photos. Yea… it is safe to say that Trent is one hell of a photographer."

28th March, 2009
MarcTurnley*BurlesqueAtlanta says:

"Trent Chau's photography career arc is almost impossible to define. On one hand he's made a giant impact as a mentor-at-large to the Atlanta Photographers Guild. On the other he's continued to learn and develop as an individual artist to the point of being a full fledged professional.

And to top it off he's one helluva good man and father of my unborn children. Hire him for your weddings. Fire him for your funerals."

31st July, 2008
mr beleth says:

"Behold! Half-artist, half-engineer, half-pornstar, and half-dictator - he has no peer.

He plays the spine of the world as if it were a sexy xylophone and firmly grips the nether meats of justice. Stand not in fear but in awe of his prowess with utensil and camera.

Though his path and mine are not the same, they often intersect. Respect conferred upon him is well-earned, indeed."

29th July, 2008
sjoback says:

"I haven't known Trent very long, but I think he has a thing for me. So far, my best guess is that he's trying to get into my pants and perhaps work his way towards marriage so he can stay in the country on more than a work visa.

Aside from this, Trent is an upstanding guy. I'd say he's pretty much a giver, always eager to help others whether it's time, knowledge or even gear! Why just the other day he let me borrow one of his lights, and I didn't even have to make out with him this time. A true gentleman indeed.

Thank you Trent. Thank you so much."

smugmugged says:

"Trent is a very talented Photographer and a generous fellow. His images are certainly pro grade and I consider myself lucky to be able to use some of his wonderful work as part of my art..."
