The idea of Photänic Photography was born in the summer of 2007. Two students from Skyline High School in Sammamish, Washington had the idea that senior pictures could be both affordable and professional. The team was Victor Ng and Andrea Nguyen. While Victor had experience in photography, Andrea was talented in lighting and makeup. With these skills, the high schoolers started a business.
 

The majority of the photography is done by Victor, who also does all of the retouching work. His passion for photography started in the 8th grade when he got his first digital camera. Since then, he has taught himself many of the skills he uses today in his photography. Victor also has a passion for design and in the summer of 2008, added a design division to the Photänic family. This fall, Victor will be attending Carnegie Mellon University to study design.
 

Andrea also shares a passion for photography and is inspired by fashion photography. She is the makeup artist for many of the shoots as well as the lighting specialist. This fall, she will be attending University of California San Diego.
