Attitude magazine praised His Hands (2019), calling "the cinematography ... beautiful, modern and stylish. His Hands. The Star praised Shu as, "a cinematographer who shoots to make things and people stand out." The Advocate magazine pointed out that, "the cinematography of His Hands offers an unnerving experience through dark, haunting images with no dialogue." FilmInk called Shu's work as, "cinema in its purest form, where the audience is meant to rely solely on visual and pictorial literacy to make heads or tails of any of it ... using all of one camera on-set, and it is almost insane just how much skill is on display ... able to make every single frame count, and the imagery lying in wait here is astounding in how layered it is." Vulture Hound praised Shu's camera work in his film as, "not exploitative ... the cinematography hints at desire, not feral lust."

For its London premiere at the New Renaissance Film Festival 2018, Secret Child won Best Debut Film. Producer Gordon Lewis is currently in talks to turn Secret Child into a television series.

In 2018, Shu teams up with Arron Blake and they both co-directed, wrote, and produced His Hands (2019), with Shu shooting the film as the cinematographer.

His Hands had its world premiere at Robert De Niro's Tribeca Film Festival 2019 in New York. The film received nomination for Best Narrative Short. The film created a whole new experience as it was a silent psychological thriller, using only the power of visual storytelling and cinematography. It tells the story of two men meeting for the most unusual unanimity of their lives as it touches themes such as sexuality, loneliness, identity and ageism. The film was applauded as a cinematic masterpiece as it was made on a low budget of £400, with no dialogue delivery throughout the film and using only natural light during filming. The film was released on Amazon Prime Video and has received rave 5 star reviews from the public with critical acclaim.

After graduating his bachelor's degree, Shu started shooting for luxury fashion magazines, music videos and documentaries. His love for filmmaking made him dive into cinematography.
