Sterling Chow is a graduate of Brooks Institute of Photography, Santa Barbara and a member of several photographic associations both national and international. His love of photography became apparent at an early age.

Diane Arbus once said, "I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn't photograph them". These words have propelled Sterling and his passion to create photography ever since he read this quote.
