Announcement

Never in my dreams as a little child did I ever think I would come to live, work and play in Hong Kong. Born in Canada to Chinese parents, I moved here in 1994 and worked as an architect for 4 years before pursuing my greater interest in photography and art. Having published my second book themed and titled 'The Asian Male', I'm set to continue and explore all things that make this Universe as diverse and interesting as it is.

These are some images I took of Hayden, a model here in Hong Kong with a young fresh look. Styling is by my friend Patrky Chaou, and makeup by Summer Lai. The idea was very simple, to use a very light, shiny transparent material to create the feeling of movement and action. Meanwhile, for more visual interest, we decided to add a lace to his face, and a material to wrap around his hand. Photographed at Studio 8, Chai Wan, Hong Kong.

Shoot with Triny

Here are some shots of Triny, one of my clients that wanted to get some shots of herself semi-nude. Shot in natural daylight and mostly on film with my Nikon F100 and Mamiya 645. I find that film create a more 'old-fashioned', three dimensional effect to photographs that digital images lack. Bokeh (out of focus) areas are simply beautiful.

Some new experimental photography with my friend Vishan, who styled and modeled the shoot. All done in my small studio here in Sheung Wan on a rather cold day. Good thing my hot lights provided some warmth. Heavily retouched from the original pics, Vishan was thought they should have been trashed, but I saw some possibilities for some interesting photos.

I am a photographer-artist living and working in Hong Kong. I vary between socially outgoing to hibernating at home with a book. I challenge myself in many areas of life, namely creatively, intellectually, physically and spiritually. I believe that I am ambitious in whatever I do and try to encourage others to do what they are passionate about. My three main areas of artistic interest are people photography, graphite drawing, and finally painting. All three areas weave in and of my life at different times. I self-published a photography book in 2005 called 'The Asian Male - 1.AM' and just released the follow-up volume 2.AM under the same title. Other than this, I dabble in Tarot readings and enjoy quiet nights with my fur-ball cat 'BB'. My weakness are anyone that is stunningly good looking, whether male, female or somewhere in between (these days, it can be hard to tell), bitter chocolate, gelato, and a nice pair of legs.... I like reading non-fiction books mostly, especially ones that really make me think and question myself and life. Although I am generally quite moody by appearance, it's usually because I'm thinking WAY too much for my own good.
