Norm Yip http://www.alivenotdead.com/normyip 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 o

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

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

A small collection of images that I quite like taken in the rural countryside of Hong Kong. All have been retouched to enhance the colours. Some are heavily saturated, to give it a more intense, heightened sensation to the eye...

I don't do much fashion work to be honest, but here are some pics from the past few years. The one of Evelyn was my first shoot ever, done out on Lantau Island's Mui Wo village. And my lastest, the cover image of Marija wearing Agnes B.

I have never thought that my paintings were that good or interesting, but the process is nevertheless fun and exhilirating (when I set myself down and DO IT). But above are a few of the paintings that I would give myself a pat on the back for. Surpris
