clean slate / works
I create visual work — from photography and film to graphic design — end-to-end, from concept to delivery, where every detail is handled personally and with care.
Based in Abu Dhabi, UAE
About clean slate / works
The world needs more people willing to look carefully, and take responsibility for what they show.
clean slate / works is an independent creative practice built on this principle.
Owned and managed solely by Lucas Yinghao, it goes beyond aesthetics — your objectives, real-world context, and cross-cultural implications always come before just "looks."
One person.
Direct collaboration.
Total accountability.
My approach is personal and uncompromising — because your work is also mine.

About me
I am a freelance photographer and a multi-faceted creative. After a decade of practice across Paris, Geneva, and Shanghai, I am now based in Abu Dhabi as part of the New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) community.
With a Bachelor's and a Master's from Sciences Po Paris, I was not trained as a creative, but as a critical and strategic thinker. The pull toward making something: images, films, work that actually land with people — was never something I could argue myself out of.
I have led and executed creative work for Discovery Channel, the World Health Organization, the International Trade Centre, NYU Shanghai, and top-tier Chinese technology companies in virtual reality and autonomous driving. clean slate / works is how I bring that same rigor directly to individuals and brands, without the agency overhead.
